Luka Dončić's beer incident adds twist before NBA finals showdown
Luka Dončić and the other Dallas Mavericks players will compete in the NBA finals. The Slovenian star was relaxing after finishing the semifinal series, holding a can of beer. The idyll was interrupted by the arrival of Michael Finley.
Luka Dončić has been a player for the Dallas Mavericks since 2018. After moving from Spain to the United States, he quickly emerged as a top player in the NBA. Today, he is one of the world's most recognizable and elite basketball players.
Luka Dončić and the other Dallas Mavericks have a great chance of winning the NBA championship. The Dallas team won the semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1. The last game concluded with a score of 124-103 in favour of Luka Dončić's team.
After the game, the Balkan athlete enjoyed a beer from a can. In the arena catacombs, he chatted with his father, Saša Dončić. The relaxed moment was cut short by the sudden arrival of Michael Finley, the Assistant General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks.
The director didn't mince words and swiftly snatched the beer from the surprised Luka Dončić's hand. Luka looked confused for a moment but quickly shrugged off the incident.
The interpretations of the former basketball player's behaviour varied. Michael Finley might have been protecting Luka Dončić's sports image or noticed the beer brand, which the player cannot publicly associate with. It's unlikely he took the can to satisfy his thirst.
Luka Dončić is preparing for the NBA finals. The excitement will begin next week when the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics series start. The Dallas team last claimed the top spot in the NBA in 2011, so their fans eagerly anticipate another victory.
