Luka Doncic got a little too excited after demolishing the Utah Jazz and accidentally dropped the F-bomb during his post-game interview. “We just can’t f*ck around… aw sh*t.” Luka hilariously said. He immediately realized his mistake and apologized for the slip-up. “My bad.” The reporter laughed hysterically and blamed the Mavs star’s blunder on not getting enough sleep after the birth of his daughter. Luka quickly defended his daughter and said, “She’s a great baby.” The 4-time all-star claimed he was getting good sleep despite his increased responsibilities as a new dad.

Luka Doncic continues to dominate on the court
Luka Doncic has continued to elevate his game this season as well. He shocked the NBA world after he scored a historic triple-double in the first half of tonight’s game. His stat line at the end of the first half read 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Luka scored 11 more points in the second half and called it a night. While Doncic continues to dominate his opponents on the court, fans have gotten used to him putting up historic numbers every night. Tonight was his 60th career triple-double, which puts him above Hall of Famer Larry Bird on the all-time triple-double leaders list.
Luka is averaging 31.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists this season, which is at par with all the MVP contenders. This might be the year the 24-year-old takes home his first MVP trophy. That will only be possible if Luka retains his elite form throughout the season and Dallas finishes among the Top 4 seeds in the West.
