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.
