Kim Shuts Down the Gossip Mill

Los Angeles is no stranger to superstar rendezvous, but this time the buzz was all digital. As we near the anniversary of Luka Doncic's game-changing trade to the Lakers, a wild rumor had Hollywood's rumor mill spinning. Social media was abuzz with whispers of Kim Kardashian making overtures towards the Slovenian sensation. The twist? It was all a curated social media illusion.

In a recent sit-down with sister Khloe, Kim set the record straight on this so-called flirtation. "There was like a fake tweet or comment on Instagram, I don’t know where it came from, but it was like, ‘Hi your coming to LA, I wanna learn Slovakian’ or whatever language," she shared, debunking the myth with her trademark candor.

“And then, I don’t know if he really thought it was me and then he replied, or if it was like a fake reply. I don’t know at this point. But mine was so fake, and it looks like I’m hitting on this guy. I haven’t gone to a Laker game since,” Kim joked during the interview.

The Photoshop Prank Unveiled

The photo-shopped message, complete with a cheeky lip-biting emoji, purportedly had Kim expressing a desire to learn Slovenian. It was all the handiwork of NBA Centel, a notorious parody account. Luka Doncic, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, seemingly replied, "No, please don’t." But even Kim wasn't sure if that part was authentic – turns out, it wasn't.

Kim humorously remarked that she hasn't been to a Lakers game since the incident, but playfully noted that the rumors weren't the reason. "It’s just one of those crazy things when you’re a global superstar," she laughed.

The City of Angels Welcomes Luka

Doncic’s arrival in the City of Angels was met with much fanfare last year, especially as the Lakers undergo a transformative era post-LeBron. While the basketball side of things is rolling smoothly, the off-court antics are still catching up. If a fabricated DM is the wildest turn, it’s just part of the LA celebrity circus.

For Luka, who is happily engaged to Anamaria Goltes, this foray into Hollywood’s electrifying scene is merely another chapter in his storied career. As the internet continues its playful antics, Doncic remains unperturbed – he’s adjusting to the LA lifestyle like a pro.
