Luka Doncic did not hold back his trash talk in the Dallas Mavericks’ most recent game against the Utah Jazz. As most members of the basketball community should be aware, Doncic is the face of the Mavericks and has been instrumental to the relevance and success that the team has seen in recent times.
After the addition of Kyrie Irving to the roster, there is no denying that the Mavericks have enough talent and firepower to go deep into the playoffs. In fact, one could argue that the team might just be able to win a championship this season if things end up going their way.
Coming back to the current day situation, Doncic and the Mavericks recently defeated the Utah Jazz. While this alone isn’t too surprising, an interaction between Luka and a Jazz player soon gained traction on social media. With that being said, let us take a closer look and find out more.Luka Doncic dropped a 40-point triple-double on the Utah Jazz
Fans who have been watching NBA stars dominate in the league for several years will know that trash-talking and animosity are inevitable to some extent. Although the league now calls technical fouls for taunting and other forms of confrontational behavior, there is no getting around the fact that talking trash is almost a cultural aspect of basketball.
While Doncic is not known to be much of a trash talker, he decided to fire a few taunts at Kris Dunn from the Utah Jazz after the two exchanged physical contact as Luka drove to the rim. Dunn didn’t want to back off and Doncic appeared to merely laugh it off. Video footage reveals more on what Luka said, ” He’s just mad I’m busting his a*s.”
