Luka Doncic has undeniably been in a league of his own for several seasons. The 2023-24 season is no exception. In the first six games, Doncic has maintained 32 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. In doing that, he continues to captivate fans with extraordinary plays; even when sharing the court with the on-ball wizard Kyrie Irving.
Nevertheless, a recent off-court moment is generating massive attention from fans. Unlike his on-court heroics, the instance captures Luka’s candid reactions on the sideline, with the game clock halted, as he responds to one of the referee’s calls; resulting in a glimpse into the more human and cheery side of Luka.

The Mavs ultimately clinched the game with a 124-118 victory, and Doncic came close to a triple-double performance, amassing 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists in a 36-minute showcase. His on-court theatrics added a touch of humor to the competitive atmosphere.

@ibezzant suggested that Luka got away with his gesture following the technical foul. The fan claimed that had it been other players instead of a select few, they might have been hit with another technical foul for making a similar gesture.
