This NBA meme prompts Instagram users to think about who has more pressure on them this season between Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum. This is one of the biggest debates heading into the new NBA season. Luka Doncic is now the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, and with that comes a level of pressure that almost no player in basketball experiences. Wearing the purple and gold means championships are the expectation. LA Lakers fans don’t celebrate Western Conference Finals, they celebrate NBA Finals. With LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers with Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe, it will be up to Luka, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Deandre Ayton, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Gabe Vincent. Following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Pau Gasol and Lakers legends isn’t easy.

Then there’s Jayson Tatum who is in a similar situation with Jaylen Brown leaving. NBA fans feel like he still has something left to prove, even though he already won an NBA Championship. The Boston Celtics superstar has led Boston to many deep playoff runs, reaching NBA Finals, and has established himself as one of the best players in the NBA. He will have Derrick White and Payton Pritchard to help him along the way, but with one of the NBA’s most intense fanbases, there’s always pressure for the historic NBA franchise. Both players have proven they can lead teams to the NBA Finals. Luka carried the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals before going to the LA Lakers. Tatum has done the same. I wonder if basketball fans who see this Instagram post think that Luka or Tatum have pressure on them headed into this 2026-2027 NBA season.
