Doncic and Porzingis might have some words for each other if the NBA Finals get heated.
Mavericks fans don’t need any extra reasons to get amped up for the upcoming NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, but you have them anyway.
Dallas is playing for its first NBA championship since 2011, Kyrie Irving is playing for vengeance against Boston, Luka Doncic is trying to take his reputation to the next level AND apparently Luka and Kristaps Porzingis aren’t each other’s biggest fans.
Chandler Parsons revealed Monday that Luka and the Mavs don’t like Porzingis on “Run it Back” on FanDuel TV.
Hopefully this adds some fuel to the fire in what should already be an exciting matchup.
Doncic vs. Porzingis Beef Adds Intrigue to NBA Finals
Porzingis hasn’t played since late April, but the extra time off in between the conference finals and the NBA Finals might give him enough time to return to the court.
If he does, expect some animosity between him and Doncic, according to Pasons.
“It will be way more violent towards Kyrie Irving and Boston, no doubt, but don’t get it twisted, they do not like Porzingis in Dallas,” Parsons said on Monday. “Luka did not like playing with him. There is an actual beef there. It’s gonna be where every time he touches the ball, he’s getting booed.”
Parsons wasn’t on the Mavs at the same time as Porzingis and Doncic, but there’s some evidence out there to back up his claim.
Porzingis addressed his relationship with Luka on JJ Redick’s podcast, ‘The Old Man and the Three’ back in December of last year.
