Luka Doncic Is A Fucking Bad Motherfucker - LeBron's Words, Not Mine

Hot mic! But really this just proved what we all know. Last night's game was AWESOME and Luka Doncic is pretty goddamn good. What's scary is that he's improving his game. Coming over from Real Madrid, the majority of people expected him to be successful, but the fact that he's adding to his game and really making a jump in year 2 has been fairly unreal. Note, if people want to bring up the Trae Young trade - I still think it's a win for both teams. The Hawks got a few pieces out of it and Trae Young is pretty damn good too. 

But, back to last night. Luka vs the Lakers put on a show. Especially when you consider Luka was 100% concussed at one point. 

What's bullshit is nights like last night though. Those nights when LeBron decides to stay dialed in to the game and interested in what's actually happening on the court. He ends up pulling shit like this off

Oh and what makes it bullshit? Because there's still Anthony Davis (and Danny Green and Alex Caruso). 

And yes, I know there was holding by Dwight Howard on that game-tying three. But, here's the thing. Why is Maxi Kleber leaving the corner to contest a layup while up 3? On top of that, why are you not fouling the moment you commit to that? Just hack the shit out of LeBron as he drives. Still a ridiculous shot by Green to force OT, but you can't make that mistake. The Mavs also know it was holding. 

But back to the original statement. Being called a motherfucker in reference to basketball is arguably the highest compliment you can receive (make your Delonte West joke here). Luka grew up idolizing by LeBron so you know that means just a bit more coming from him. Either way, that game was awesome. One of those where you just sit back and go yep, those dudes are good and laugh. 

Speaking of mothers (you didn't think I'd forget would you)
