Tuesday night was all about Luka Doncic and his highly anticipated “revenge game” against the Dallas Mavericks. The stage was set for the Slovenian phenom to face off against the team he once called home, and all eyes were glued to him as he was determined to make a statement. To ensure he did, the Jordan Brand had his back, and fans couldn’t help but notice the new sneakers he laced up as he took the floor. But if that trade had never gone down, the story of the night would have been completely different. Confused? Well, Overtime dropped an exclusive sneak peek at what was really going on behind the scenes in Dallas before Doncic even sported those kicks. Some of it could even shatter the narratives that have been running wild.

So, the shoot for Doncic’s signature Luka 4 was done in Dallas. And the Jordan Brand went all out to make sure it was nothing short of perfect. How? They painted everything white. The court was entirely white. Even the basketballs were clean white with only the grooves left black. Basically, it was a visual masterpiece, with the 25-year-old and his new shoes taking center stage. After delivering some picture-perfect shots, Doncic sat down for a one-on-one interview with Overtime’s reporter.

When asked about the experience, he called it “amazing,” and described it as “it’s nice, it’s clean.” The 5x All-Star was then inquired about his favorite one among the upcoming colorways that the 25.4 billion brand would be releasing after the white and neon green shoe. “The fishing is definitely one of my favorites, you know, something I like to do. So, I’m looking forward to those colorways,” he revealed. And immediately the question came, “So, in the offseason, you fish a lot?” Luka Doncic smiled and replied, “Yeah.” But wait, isn’t his favorite thing something completely different, according to the Mavericks?

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Doncic was reportedly engaged in some concerning habits that led to a whole new drama. “They mention the social habits that The Athletic has reported on — such as a taste for b— and h—– — which have been a point of concern for NBA types since he was a 19-year-old star for Real Madrid who was entering the NBA Draft,” the journalist stated. “They predict his basketball demise, highlighting a health history that, as some see it, will likely lead to catastrophe in the next five years or so.”
