Did Luka Doncic cuss out billionaire Mark Cuban during Lakers vs Mavericks game?

Luka Doncic and Mark Cuban

The Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks matchup featured a list of celebrities and famous personalities in attendance. Not surprisingly, Mark Cuban attended Luka Doncic‘s first Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena. This occurred after the startling exchange at the beginning of February. Naturally, during the Lakers’ 107-99 triumph, Cuban and Doncic had some “playful trash talk.”

In addition, Cuban and Doncic shared a great bond while the latter was a Mavericks player. However, since his move, Cuban has shown no remorse towards Doncic. On Wednesday, former Maverick Chandler Parsons shared some play-by-play details of the Doncic-Cuban exchanges while attending the “electric” game with Cuban. According to Parsons, Cuban jeered Doncic each time he made contact with the ball.

Every time Luka would touch the ball, Cuban would start booing him. At one point Luka looked over at him and literally said, ‘Mark, shut up!’

It never occurred to Cuban that he would find himself on the other side of Doncic. The Slovenian superstar became one of the NBA’s top players after the longtime Mavericks owner traded him to Dallas on draft night in 2018. Cuban was left shocked and confused when he came to know about the Doncic trade, just like the Mavs’ fanbase.

However, the minority owner no longer has a voice in basketball operations after selling the franchise to the Adelson family. But if Cuban were to lead basketball operations this season, one thing was for sure: Luka Doncic staying at the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving opens up on playing against Luka Doncic

Mavericks supporters were perplexed by Luka Doncic’s exit. Mainly because their hope of seeing Kyrie Irving and Doncic win an NBA title together will no longer become a reality. In the previous season, the two nearly helped the Mavs win the championship.

Now, just days before they played for the first time as opponents. Irving in particular felt ‘awkward’ as he revealed to the media after the game. Kyrie Irving told the media, “I felt awkward as sh*t.” Irving joined the Mavericks in the hopes of playing with the Slovenian star. However, he will have to continue without him moving forward.

Additionally, at least one more on-court meeting between Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic is planned for this season. On April 10, the Mavericks and Lakers will play each other again. The game in April will be Doncic’s first time back in Dallas. This game will be one to watch as the Lakers are starting a top-2 seed in the West after gaining form.
