Detroit Pistons fans clearly messed with the wrong one this weekend.
The Pistons met the Mavericks for a home game on Saturday. During the contest, the Detroit faithful decided to serenade Dallas star Luka Doncic with a (very lame) chant. They were heard chanting “Luka sucks!” to the four-time All-NBA first teamer.
Regrettably, though, the Pistons fans quickly learned that Doncic does not, in fact, suck. He ended up posting a 39-10-10 triple-double to lead Dallas to an easy 142-124 victory over Detroit.
After the game, Doncic was asked about the chant and gave a brutal retort.
“In Detroit? Come on man,” Doncic savagely quipped.
“I’m good,” he added. “I don’t know why they would do that. I love it. They know it’s not true and they keep going, so I love it.”
Doncic is well aware that the Pistons have the worst record in the NBA at 10-53. In fact, Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks officially eliminated them from playoff contention. … with 19 games left to play in the season.
A chant of “Luka sucks!” isn’t even remotely creative either. But that said, at least Pistons fans are pretty good when it comes to taunting their own team.
