Walt Frazier is going from colorful suits to colorful language.

The retired New York Knicks great and commentator had harsh words about Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic during Wednesday’s Knicks-Mavs game.

“He’s one of the biggest crybabies in the league,” said Frazier of Doncic, per Knicks writer Tommy Beer. “Look at him, he’s always crying.”

At the time of Frazier’s remarks, Doncic was complaining to the referee for not calling a foul in the act of shooting during the fourth quarter. Doncic was assessed a technical foul for his protests. It was also a very frustrating game for Dallas. The Mavs were losing by 23 points at the time and ended up falling to the Knicks by a 107-77 drubbing of a final score.

Having just turned 23 years old, Doncic is already one of the most talented players in basketball, but he does have a tendency to squawk at the officials and now leads the NBA with 14 technical fouls this season.

Frazier is not the only one who thinks Doncic is a whiner either. Mavs owner Mark Cuban once fired back at someone who said the same about Doncic.
