Luka Doncic expressed his shock and disbelief when he was traded from the Mavericks to the Lakers, even throwing his phone in surprise. Meanwhile, Los Angeles artist Jack Perkins established a new tradition of creating comic-strip-style illustrations summarizing each Lakers game, reflecting on the evolution of his work and audience engagement. Following Doncic's standout performance against the Denver Nuggets, Perkins crafted an illustration inspired by previous pieces, showcasing his artistic growth throughout the Lakers' challenging season. His posts have garnered significant attention on social media, highlighting the intersection of sports and art.
Perkins explained the evolution of his artwork, noting, "I feel like if you look at some of the earlier ones I was just trying to do them in an hour and sort of [a] quick recap."
After Doncic's impressive performance, Perkins found inspiration for his illustration, reflecting on past pieces: "When the Nuggets defeated the Lakers earlier in the season, he drew Denver center Nikola Jokic walking out of a tunnel."
