In the most recent episode of Sundae Conversation, hosted by Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley, Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic was asked to choose his favorite women’s basketball player. The Slovenian superstar didn’t take a moment, promptly choosing Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark as his favorite.
When grilled by Pressley about the number one pick in the WNBA draft this year, Paige Bueckers, Doncic cut a more reserved figure, choosing to withhold judgment before he has seen her excel at the WNBA level.
“She’s okay. I haven’t seen her play in the women’s NBA” – Luka Doncic on Paige Bueckers
Pressley’s lighthearted interview style, known to be quirky while asking questions that make the subject uncomfortable, gave few moments of comedy, with Doncic’s funny bone shining through.
The choice to ask Doncic about Paige Bueckers was delivered considering his surprise separation with the Mavericks franchise only a couple of months before

Amlan started falling for basketball after watching the San Antonio Spurs in 2012 and 2013. He watched as a collective of veteran legends, underrated misfits and a young defensive stud extended the Spurs’ era of dominance with a team-oriented style, reminiscent of the aesthetic brilliance of 2011 FC Barcelona.
Amlan has supported the Spurs ever since, even after enduring the heartbreaks of Ray Allen’s corner three and several years in the wilderness post-Kawhi Leonard. He hopes Victor Wembanyama will become the face of the league as Pop rides off into the sunset.
When not working, Amlan is a keen quizzer and a podcast buff and can usually be found reading books, watching movies or listening to history podcasts.
