The Los Angeles Lakers, including star Luka Doncic, recently engaged in a team-building event at a nightclub in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The outing, intended for the players to bond, drew media attention, with reports focusing on the presence of a former Playboy model, Anja Jenko, at the venue.
According to reports from Slovenian outlet Nedeljski dnevnik, the nightclub had a strict no-photography policy, with phone cameras reportedly covered with stickers to prevent unauthorized images or videos. Despite these measures, Jenko, who was featured on the cover of Playboy in 2014, was noted among other attendees. The reports did not indicate any interaction between the model and the Lakers players.
The team's activities were described as a private, exclusive party where players primarily socialized with each other. The media coverage, however, shifted to Jenko's presence, raising questions about the focus of the reports. The article questions the narrative that a celebrity model's attendance at the same venue as the team automatically creates a connection or changes the nature of the team-building event.
