Former Real Madrid head coach, Pablo Laso, sat down with BasketNews recently to go through some famous moments and lessons he taught Luka Donu010diu0107 during his time in Madrid.

In this viral clip, Laso, very European in his approach to coaching, yells at Luka Donu010diu0107 during his first time really taking over as point guard on Real Madrid’s first team at 16. This clip probably went viral because it may be shocking to many fans how Laso acted, but in reality, this type of behavior is not abnormal in Europe, and in this instance Laso felt that this was a valuable teaching moment for the teenager.
