Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić is locked in every time he takes the court, and the right music helps him get into his zone before games.
In an interview with rapper Snoop Dogg, Dončić revealed the tunes he plays before games. He doesn’t listen to West Coast Classics like the ones Snoop Dogg has made, but instead to music from his home country of Slovenia.
Dončić said he even fires up the music, which consists of the accordion, on the speakers at Crypto.com Arena while he’s warming up.
“I have mostly music from my country,” he said. “…I listen to everything honestly. I put it on the speakers, they put my music on.”
Dončić’s pregame ritual of blasting Slovenian music is clearly working. He’s currently leading the league in points per game (34.5) while recording 8.9 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game.
He has the Lakers looking like a Finals contender early on, as Los Angeles improved to 12-4 with its win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday.
