Luka Doncic played the Boston Celtics one time as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers last season.

On Monday, the Celtics posted a photo from that game (when Jayson Tatum blocked Doncic's shot).

Their post had over 2,000 likes and 140,000 impressions in four hours.

Many fans commented on the post.

@dsuys1: "JT owns Fluka"

@cooplow33: "Even Celtics hating on Luka "

@rgar9123: "Gotta let em kno who’s superior ☘️☘️☘️"

@MeFanGirlOutlet: "So... Luka is now the Face of The League at this point.
We're all seeing the narrative, right?
This is the kind of post they normally would have done with LeBron. As if "denying" him is some massive accomplishment. Luka's the Face now."

The Celtics won the game (from that photo) by a score of 111-101 on March 8.

Doncic finished the loss with 34 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal while shooting 11/22 from the field and 5/10 from the three-point range in 37 minutes of playing time.
