Kyle Kuzma, the Los Angeles forward lost to Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic in the first round of the NBA Skills challenge held in Charlotte on Saturday night.
After picking random numbers off the videoboard, Ludacris and Karl-Anthony selected Donic as Kuzma’s opponent in the first round.
Throughout the course, Kuzma looked pretty much ahead of Doncic but at the end, Doncic had the last laugh as Kuzma failed to complete the last step, knocking down a 3 pointer.
Luka's just having fun with it! 😃
