Luka Dončić has played for the Dallas Mavericks since 2018. After moving from Spain to the United States, he emerged as a top player in the NBA. He is one of the world's best and most recognizable basketball players.
Luka Dončić and the other Dallas Mavericks players have a great chance of winning the NBA championship. The Dallas players won the semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1. The last game ended with a score of 124-103 for Luka Dončić's team.
After the game, the Balkan athlete enjoyed a beer from a can. He talked with his dad, Saša Dončić, in the arena's corridors. The peaceful moment ended with the arrival of Michael Finley, the Assistant General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks.
The director didn't mince words and, within a few seconds, snatched the beer from the hand of the surprised Luka Dončić. He looked confused for a moment but quickly forgot about his drink.
The interpretations of the former basketball player’s behaviour varied. Michael Finley might have been looking out for Luka Dončić's sports image, or he noticed the beer brand with which the player cannot be seen publicly. He probably didn't take the can to quench his thirst.
Luka Dončić is preparing for the NBA finals. The big excitement will start next week when the series between the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics begins. The Dallas team was last the best in the NBA in 2011, so their fans are eager for another success.
