Luka Doncic trash talks a Rockets fan in the middle of live play

Luka Doncic engaged in a favorite pastime of his during Wednesday’s game.

Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers were at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas to face the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. During the first quarter of the game, Doncic was getting chastised by a Rockets fan who was sitting courtside at the arena.

Not long after that, Doncic managed to get his revenge. The former NBA scoring champion stole the ball away from Houston star Kevin Durant by picking off an entry pass. Doncic then turned to yell at the fan … while dribbling up the court in the middle of live play.

Here is the priceless clip.

Doncic is known as one of the NBA’s best trash-talkers and takes it very personally whenever anybody yaps at him. In fact, he recently managed to traumatize one young opponent who dared to provoke him during a recent game.

On top of that, Doncic especially loves talking smack to opposing fans while on the road. The six-time NBA All-Star had one especially infamous incident last season with the Lakers in which he was actually ejected for getting into it with a rival fan who was courtside.
