When news broke that Luka Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, fans immediately turned the young star into the hottest name in the NBA and the city itself.
It didn’t take long for rumors to swirl that one of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities, Kim Kardashian, had taken notice, allegedly leaving comments on Doncic’s social media posts. The story spread quickly, and for a moment, it felt like the perfect storm for both the Lakers’ excitement and the Kardashian brand.
What seemed believable quickly turned out to be pure AI fiction
In reality, Kim Kardashian has now put all those rumors to rest. During her appearance on her sister Khlo Kardashian’s show, “Khlo in Wonder Land”, Kim addressed the speculation for the first time, dismissing the stories as AI-generated and completely “insane.”
Fans immediately turned Luka into the hottest name in the NBA and the city itself
She explained that the viral messages claiming she had shown interest in Doncic were entirely fake, a digital illusion that she never initiated.
AI tricks leave even stars caught off guard
Kim described how baffling it was to be portrayed as flirting with a basketball player she barely knew. At one point, she even referred to Luka as “Slovakian” instead of Slovenian while recounting the incident to Khlo, highlighting just how little she actually knew about him.
Kim sent the internet into a spiral after an alleged message surfaced on a Los Angeles basketball page, reading, “I want to learn how to speak Slovenian,” paired with a playful emoji. Soon after, Doncic ‘responded’ with a sharp, “No, please don’t,” though the comment disappeared almost instantly. According to Kim, the AI-created comment went viral, sparking confusion that may have even kept her from attending a Lakers game, as fans ran with theories and the online embarrassment made the situation too public to ignore.
While the rumors have finally been exposed as AI-generated, the NBA keeps moving full steam ahead. Halfway through the season, the Los Angeles Lakers sit fifth in the Western Conference, and the AI fiasco has kept Kim from attending any games, as the online chaos and trolls made the situation too awkward to ignore.
