The NBA suspended Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic for one game without pay on Saturday for receiving his 16th technical foul this season, and he will miss Monday's game against the visiting Washington Wizards.
Heroes run the NBA, but every story also needs a villain. For some franchises, it's a particularly hated opponent, but every now and then, it's one of their own.
Basketball has changed so, so much since it was first played in the late 1800s. The NBA has a lot to do with this, and there are even a handful of players who can be credited with influencing significant shifts on their own.
