Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic made a game-winning jumper in a 127-125 overtime victory against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. However, the highlight of the matchup came earlier.
A young fan wearing a Shaquille O’Neal jersey was named fan of the game, and the Jumbotron at Crypto.com Arena captured his enthusiastic reaction. He was bouncing with excitement, especially after Doncic hit the clutch shot.
“Legend,” wrote The Athletic’s Dan Woike on X about the fan.
Lakers forward LeBron James also acknowledged the young fan in his postgame press conference.
