Last night, the NBA held the much-awaited 2023 draft last night, and it’s become a raging, hot topic in the hoops community. Though the Dallas Mavericks had a lackluster run in the last season, they landed the much-coveted 10th pick in this draft. Picking Cason Wallace, Dallas traded him to OKC and landed Dereck Lively II to play alongside Luka Doncic. Amid the iconic draft night, one of Luka Doncic’s former teammates, to whom he owes money, took a hilarious jibe on live TV.

Hours after the live TV ridicule, Luka Doncic’s ex-teammate and debtor broke the silence on the mockery. Interestingly, the former NBA star came up with a remark for the one throwing jibes at him the other night.
