Doncic himself should have gotten wind of it, and particularly known as out the reporter throughout his postgame, following Dallas’ 132-109 loss to Phoenix.
“I know, I saw you when you said about the fan, you know,” Doncic said. “That was not true in any respect. That was not the one factor he mentioned, however I knew you’ll be the primary one to level out one thing like that. I’m not going to say what he mentioned, however I knew you’ll be the primary one to place out one thing like that, so, I simply noticed it man, it’s humorous, you appear to be the primary one to out some dangerous stuff about me.
To which MacMahon responded with, “First of all, 99 percent of the stuff I’ve written about you has been good.”
Luka interrupted by saying, “I don’t know”.
MacMahon continued, “I was sitting two rows behind us”.
Luka went on to ask, “Alright so that was the only time he said something?”
MacMahon mentioned, “That was what you reacted to”.
Luka continued, “Yeah, ya’ll was hearing the whole first half right? Or you didn’t hear anything?”
MacMahon acknowledged that the fan was positively hollering within the first half.
Reporters then enquired why Luka requested safety for the fan to be ejected and he answered, “Because he was cursing me the whole first half too.”
MacMahon then requested Luka why he didn’t ask for the fan to be ejected within the first half.
Luka mentioned, “Because I would never eject a fan, they pay for tickets, but I had enough, you know, it’s a little bit of frustration.”
Looks like a beef between MacMahon and Luka is nicely and actually brewing!
