Luka Doncic signed a three-year, $165 million maximum contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers. He celebrated with team GM Rob Pelinka dancing at a Backstreet Boys concert.

It’s been quite the offseason for the Lakers superstar as he’s gone viral for his extreme body change, losing weight and looking like a whole new man. He also had a great time in New York that teammate LeBron James had a suprising reaction to.

Now that he’s back in the U.S. after being in Europe all summer and his new deal is behind him, Doncic is letting loose a bit. He headed to Vegas to watch the Backstreet Boys, who are currently in the middle of their "Into The Millennium" at the Sphere. He even met Brian Littrell, showing off what it’s like to be 6-foot-6 and Littrell needing a table to see eye-to-eye.

He’d also pose with Nick Carter.

The real story, though, was Doncic and Pelinka really vibing to the hit “I Want It That Way”.

That’s awesome.

The 26-year-old Doncic also looked like he was finally getting to enjoy a beer without someone taking it away from him.

Congrats to Doncic and the Lakers on his new deal. The future is bright in LA.
