The Lakers captured a massive 138-115 Christmas Day victory over the Mavs on Friday.
The star-studded contest was centered around James and Doncic.
James, 35, collected 22 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in 31 minutes of action. On the other end, Doncic put up a team-high 27 points and seven assists.
While James poked some fun at Doncic with the fun move, he has a ton of respect for the international standout. Doncic was humbled that the four-time champion wanted to sign him to a shoe deal.
The Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.
