Luka Doncic was absolutely locked in against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
The Dallas Mavericks star — and new father — set an NBA record by becoming the first player to record a 25-point triple double in the first half. Yes, you read that right. Doncic got all that done in just 24 minutes.
He finished the game with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists despite resting for the entire fourth quarter as the Mavs pummeled the Jazz, 147-97. It was the 60th career triple-double for Doncic, which moved him past Larry Bird on the all-time list.
So between making Utah look like a G-League team and his newborn child at home, it’s safe to Doncic was not thinking about what he was going to say on the Bally Sports broadcast when it came time for an on-court interview after the win.
Which means what he did say is not safe for the workplace. Yeah, Doncic dropped an F bomb. But it’s his reaction to the mistake that might be even better. Upset with himself for cursing on live TV, Doncic cursed again.
Take a look (preferably with headphones in).
