We're still in the early stages of the Luka Doncic and LeBron James era with the Los Angeles Lakers, and they're somehow already giving everyone incredible memories. During Saturday night's 134-127 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the dynamic duo even managed to channel some iconic NBA history.
After Doncic dropped off a no-look pass to James for a vicious fastbreak dunk, cameras captured the essence of the moment to a tee. Doncic posed for the camera with a steely look right as James jammed the ball through the rim in the background. For those who remember the peak of James' time with the Miami Heat in the early 2010s, it was a perfect recreation of a photo of Dwyane Wade celebrating after lobbing the ball to his superstar partner.
Here are both moments side by side. Truly, in the NBA, time is a flat circle:

The more things change, the more they stay the same. In this case, James just needed a new star to give him cool passes and moments like this.
