When Luka Doncic is in the zone, he can become a flamethrower on the court.
The Dallas Mavericks fans witnessed that a plethora of times during his six and a half year stint with the franchise.
While Luka Doncic’s scoring outbursts are rather spread out during the regular season, one may wonder how much Luka scores during practice sessions.
Well, Mavericks star Kyrie Irving recently shed light on it by narrating a story about one of Doncic’s scoring streaks.
Irving recently did a live stream on Twitch. One clip of the stream went viral on X, where Irving talked about witnessing a phenomenal scoring run from his former teammate.
“I witnessed him give somebody 24 points in three minutes,” Irving stated.
After listening to Kai’s revelation, the Mavs Nation could think of just one player – Grant Williams.
“It was definitely Grant Williams,” a fan wrote. While another added: “Luka is that guy.”
“It was Grant wasn’t it?” a third Mavs fan added.
“I know Grant Williams was talking in practice I know it was him for sure lmao,” a fourth fan stated.
“My gawd what did Grant say to Luka,” a fan asked.
Every fan below the tweet on X thought of former Mavericks forward Williams. But what was the reason behind it?
Williams was on the Mavs for 47 games during the 2023-24 NBA season. However, during his short stint, Williams apparently developed a beef with Doncic and the Mavs.
Mavericks’ assistant GM and vice president of basketball operations, Michael Finley, narrated the story during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan.
“[Grant Williams] decided he wanted to get under Luka’s skin. He felt that Luka didn’t come that day ready to practice.
So to make a long story short, they had a scrimmage going and he’s talking trash to Luka up and down the court. Finally, Luka says ‘OK’ and I tell you, Luka went on a 26-6 run by himself,” Finley said.
He added: “You can ask anybody, I’m not exaggerating. It was like a 26-6 run by himself. He showed everything. The 3’s, the post-up, the floaters, everything by himself.”
Williams poked the bear and paid the price for it. It’s no surprise that the Mavericks traded him in the middle of the season after he made Doncic angry in practice.
