"It's all business and marketing": Fans respond as Ludwig reveals shocking video message from Luka Dončić
Image via: x/LudwigAhgren In a turn of events mixing sports and streaming culture, Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren started a firestorm of responses online after revealing a video message from NBA star Luka Dončić . The video is being considered by many as a sincere apology from Dončić for having to miss Ludwig's Basketball Jam event, but others view the message as a calculated move, which leads to fan theories and meme creation on the internet. A Tournament With a Twist Ludwig's Basketball Jam 2025, on July 12, is no typical sports event. The tournament unites six teams consisting of only content creators and internet personalities in a basketball face-off. The event will be streamed live and thrown open to fans, free, first-come first-served, a trademark Ludwig mix of accessibility and showmanship. In the excitement, Ludwig caught fans off-guard even more when he aired a recorded message from Dončić on a recent stream. Fan Split: Real or PR? Though many fans commended the act, labeling it 'wholesome' and 'unexpectedly sweet,' others weren't so sure. One Redditor encapsulated the doubtful camp with the comment, 'It's all business and marketing.' Others pointed out that the clip came off as a strategic PR play, particularly given Dončić's increasing prominence in the esports and streaming worlds. Fueling the crossover chatter, another fan brought attention to Luka's gaming skills, noting that he's one of the top 500 ranked Overwatch 2 players. For some, this was eyebrow raising, was this message a connection between his gamer self and his athlete celebrity? Ludwig's Genius Move? Whether it was genuine friendship or business coalition, Ludwig's choice to broadcast the missive accomplished its objective: it got attention. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [지원]여성 갱년기 영양제 무료증정 이벤트로 신청자 몰려.. 소나무 더 알아보기 Undo Famous for blurring the lines between online entertainment and real-world events, Ludwig once again demonstrated why he's leading the way in streamer-hosted spectacles.
