Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic took a big bite out of the Big Apple in his latest visit to hype up his signature sneaker line for Jordan Brand. Doncic made several stops in New York to jumpstart the United States leg of his promotional tour.

Doncic got busy with his engagements, including watching the game between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays and joining the broadcast, where he talked about his body transformation. The Lakers guard also linked up with Yankees icon Aaron Judge, who gave him a game-used autographed bat.

Doncic also watched the Jordan Brand’s The One 1-on-1 tournament at Dyckman Park, taking in New York's street hoops culture, and guested on NBC's “Today” show.

Of course, the five-time All-Star spent time with his young fans, surprising them at the NBA Store. He gifted the wide-eyed students from Quest to Learn school with Luka 4 shoes and signed Lakers jerseys.

Doncic posted a recap video of his trip on X and left a short message for New York.

“Thank you, NYC,” said the Lakers floor general.

Fans swiftly commented on the post, which has garnered over 126,000 views, as of writing.

“Can’t wait for next season, Luka!” said @FroemelAndy.

“Bro went to visit my Yankees to get advice on getting a ring,” added @Glansberg_Web3.

“Best player in the world. I don’t care about y’all rankings. No one is better at basketball. The remind them tour is about to begin,” wrote @TheHoopFather.

“You run NYC, goat,” commented @luka7doncic.

“Respect you for coming to Dyckman. Representing the hood,” posted @realmarirose.

The offseason has been a hectic one for the 26-year-old Doncic. In particular, he worked on slimming down and improving his physique. Still, he found the energy to fulfill his brand endorsements.

He is a man on a mission in his first full campaign with the Lakers. Their early exit in last season's playoffs only fueled Doncic to be better, which is dangerous for the rest of the NBA.
