Kim Kardashian recently dropped truth bomb on the viral “flirty” Instagram moment with Luka Doncic that originated from a parody account.

Kim Kardashian has finally addressed the viral moment that briefly tied her name to Luka Doncic. After the viral news made the rounds in the NBA for a good long while, the Hollywood celebrity has now come forward to dismiss the entire situation as fake and completely out of her control.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Khloé In Wonder Land podcast, Kardashian broke down how a fabricated social media post made it look like she was publicly flirting with the new Los Angeles Lakers star.

The post circulated widely enough that many fans assumed it was real, especially after it appeared to show Doncic replying. According to Kardashian, the comment never came from her account.

“There is a basketball player that I think got traded to the Lakers, Luka,” she said. “There was like a fake tweet or comment on Instagram. I don’t know where it came from, but it was like, ‘Hi, you’re coming to LA. I want to learn Slovakian or whatever language.”

She described the situation as “insane,” explaining that a parody post suggested she had commented on the Lakers’ Instagram welcoming Doncic to Los Angeles while expressing interest in learning Slovenian.

The message looked authentic, mimicking the tone and formatting of a real Instagram comment, which is exactly why it fooled so many people.

The source of the confusion was NBACentel, a well-known parody account that regularly posts fabricated NBA content designed to look legitimate. In this case, the joke traveled far enough to enter mainstream conversation, briefly creating the impression of an awkward celebrity-athlete interaction.

The short answer is no, despite what viral posts suggested. The confusion stemmed from a now-deleted parody content that claimed Kardashian had posted Instagram stories and comments expressing interest in meeting Doncic after his move to Los Angeles.

Those posts, including one that allegedly featured Doncic shutting her down, were created by NBACentel, not by Kardashian or Doncic themselves.

The account is notorious for “Centel’ing” fans by presenting jokes in a format that closely resembles real news.

Once the origin of the posts became clear, the narrative quickly unraveled. Kardashian’s podcast appearance effectively shut the door on the rumor, confirming that there was no flirtation, no outreach, and no behind-the-scenes interaction between her and the Lakers guard.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
