Sometimes, the worst thing about playing video games online is that you’ll have no idea who you’re playing with. That’s especially tough on team games.
Whether it’s a game of NBA 2k, Overwatch, Call of Duty or whatever else you choose to play in your spare time, it can be pretty exhausting teaming up with random folks out there. You don’t know how they play, so you obviously can’t trust them.
On the rarest of rare occasions, though, you might end up teaming up with an NBA superstar.
That’s what happened to a couple of Twitch streamers when Luka Doncic showed up on their stream of Overwatch 2. The funniest part is the dudes didn’t even watch NBA basketball, so they had no idea who he was.
Luka told them he plays for the Mavericks and then mans asked “like…varsity?” I’m dying, y’all.
These guys ran into Luka Doncic while playing Overwatch 😮
"You have any hobbies?"
"Yeah, I play basketball" 💀

That wasn’t it, though. They continued to interrogate our boy to see if he was really who he said he was. After all, people can fake personalities online. It’s reasonable to ask questions.
The streamers asked Luka when his birthday was and he proceeded to tell them it was February 28, which is accurate. Because, of course, it is Luka.
“I’m him”

I don’t know what’s funnier — the fact that they still don’t seem to believe it’s Luka Doncic or the line of questioning Luka Doncic is being asked to prove that he is, indeed, himself.
Either way, this is fantastic. We need more random appearances from Luka on the internet. Come play 2k with me, buddy.
