Snoop Dogg reveals what really happened behind Luka Doncic’s VIRAL trash-talk moment
Snoop Dogg has become a fan of Luka Doncic after seeing him play at a superstar level and trash talk at the same time.
Snoop Dogg reveals what really happened behind Luka Doncic's viral trash talk moment in Dallas Mavericks Minnesota Timberwolves game
Snoop Dogg loves a superstar athlete who has a dog mentality in him. Someone who can take some trash talk, say something back, and then back it up with a play to silence that back-and-forth tussle. Luka Doncic had one such incident during the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A clip of that incident went viral, suggesting the rapper had a part in it. But the Grammy-nominated artist has now revealed what truly happened with the Dallas Mavericks superstar.
Snoop Dogg was a guest on the DJ Whoo Kid‘s podcast. During the conversation the hip-hop DJ asked the rapper if he had any beef with Doncic. To this, Dogg made it clear that there was no such thing between the Mavs superstar and himself.
I’m a basketball fan. I never seen Luka play live. I wanted to see him get down, Kyrie is a friend of mine. Just want to see some good basketball. And Luka wasn’t talking to me. It was somebody that was talking sh*t to him. Every minute I was there he was like, ‘Luka you cry baby, you cried’. And then when Luka took the lead he said, ‘Who’s crying now motherf*cker!’. I was like this n****’s a dog. He get down, cause he meets the press. So, I became a fan of Luka that night.
Snoop Dogg clarified that the viral moment was not between him and the Dallas Mavericks superstar. Rather it was with a Minnesota Timberwolves fan who was heckling him the entire game.
The rapper had the best seat in the house to watch what unfolded between the Timberwolves fan and Luka Doncic. From that experience, Dogg admitted that it showed the mentality of the 25-year-old superstar.
Many players succumb to heckling and taunts by opposing fans. But the great ones know how to use that as motivation and talk back. However, the rapper has yet to see it in the NBA Finals.
Snoop Dogg has hopes for Luka Doncic in NBA Finals
After talking about the incident, Snoop Dogg carried on the conversation about the NBA Finals. He knows the situation the Dallas Mavericks are in and sounded optimistic about the Mavs.
Right now they down, but it's a long series. You never know.Snoop Dogg said
It should be noted that this podcast was recorded when Luka Doncic and his team were down 0-2 in the series. They lost Game 3, but Snoop Dogg for sure would have been pumped after seeing how the tables were turned in Game 4.
The way Luka Doncic and his teammates stepped up their level of energy and desire would have impressed the rapper. He likes it when superstars take a game over and the Slovenian superstar took the onus of defending the best players on the Boston Celtics on the night.
It will be interesting to see how Doncic and his teammates tackle Game 5 on Monday. If they manage to beat the Boston Celtics with the same fervor they showed in Game 4, it won’t be surprising to see Snoop Dogg grace Game 6 in Dallas.
