CHICAGO – On the only day Luka Doncic wasn’t part of the NBA’s three-day All-Star Weekend, the Dallas Mavericks’ point guard still was a topic of conversation around here.
During his annual press conference with the media on Saturday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver – without being asked – repeated a conversation he had with Doncic. Silver was in the middle of discussing the late Kobe Bryant when he slightly veered off course and said:
“Luka Doncic told me recently that he was being trash-talked courtside at a Lakers’ game earlier in the season. He looked over and there was Kobe (talking) in Slovenian trash-talking him with his wonderful daughter, Gigi, by his side.
