"THE GRANDIOSE 8,000-SQUARE-FOOT Manhattan Beach mansion that Luka Doncic purchased this past offseason from tennis star Maria Sharapova, cementing his new home in Los Angeles, was designed with a minimalist motif. Tall walls of bare concrete, massive glass doors and black metal accents in the five-bedroom residence guide dwellers through an open floor plan, with plenty of balconies and curated outdoor spaces to take in the pristine Pacific Ocean view."
"Tucked inside the basement, there is a premium man cave amenity that doubles as an irresistible lure for competition junkies: a two-lane bowling alley. The pins and wooden planks might not seem like an architectural fit with the rest of the home's interior, but it serves an important purpose: something to sustain Doncic's legendary competitive drive, even when he's off the floor."
"Reaves made the 10-minute drive to his teammate's crib, where he found not only Doncic, but two of Doncic's friends, plus Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean and L.A.'s head video coordinator, Michael Wexler, awaiting his arrival. Three-man teams were formed. Games were played. Scores were kept. 'But it all really came down to the 1-on-1 at the end,' Reaves said."
Luka Doncic purchased an 8,000-square-foot Manhattan Beach mansion featuring minimalist design, expansive ocean views and curated outdoor spaces. The five-bedroom home includes a basement man cave with a two-lane bowling alley built to appeal to competition-minded guests. Doncic uses the bowling alley to maintain his competitive edge away from the basketball court. He invited Lakers guard Austin Reaves to the house for an evening that included teammates, friends and staff, three-man teams, recorded scores and a deciding one-on-one matchup. The two players offered differing accounts of the head-to-head result.
