Hold onto your hats because Luka Doncic is here to set the record straight! Recently, there have been rumors swirling around about some beef between Luka and Kristaps Porzingis, but Luka is not having any of it. In a recent interview, Luka made it clear that there is no bad blood between him and Porzingis.
But that’s not all, folks. Luka also took the opportunity to call out Chandler Parsons. Luka didn’t hold back, trashing Parsons for throwing lies out there.
Earlier this week on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back,” Parsons stirred the pot by saying Doncic and Porzingis had “actual beef” during their time together on the Dallas Mavericks. Parsons, who played for Dallas before Doncic and Porzingis arrived, suggested that their relationship was far from friendly.
But Doncic was quick to set the record straight during a media session on Tuesday. “That’s why I don’t watch a lot of that – because people don’t know,” he said. “I’ve talked to Chandler Parsons maybe twice in my life, so I don’t know how he would know that. But me and KP have a good relationship. I don’t know why people would say otherwise.”
Parsons didn’t hold back in his comments, claiming, “They do not like Porzingis in Dallas. Luka did not like playing with him; there is an actual beef there. Every time he touches the ball, he’s getting booed. It’s known. It didn’t work out.” He even compared it to the infamous Kyrie Irving-Celtics drama.
Porzingis had a bumpy ride in Dallas, especially coming off a torn ACL from his time with the New York Knicks. His stint with the Mavericks ended when he was traded to the Washington Wizards in 2022 for a package centered around Spencer Dinwiddie.
With the NBA Finals looming, fans are buzzing about the potential tension between Doncic and Porzingis. However, Doncic’s recent comments suggest it’s all water under the bridge. Now, all eyes are on the court to see how these former teammates will face off.
So there you have it, folks. Luka Doncic is not one to mess with, and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. No beef with Porzingis, but watch out Chandler Parsons – Luka’s got his eyes on you.
