Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is going to have to pay up some real money after rubbing his fingers together at a referee.
Y’know, like the universal sign for money.
It happened with less than 2 seconds to play in the Dallas Mavericks’ 127-125 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The Slovenian superstar was frustrated about what he deemed to be a couple of missed calls and decided to let one of the refs know it.

The final two top seeds fell Friday, and the Big Dance descended into chaos of unprecedented proportions.
An upset-filled Friday night in the men’s NCAA tournament has set the stage for a wide-open race for the national championship.
No. 1 overall seed Alabama and championship betting favorite Houston were both shockingly bounced from the Big Dance on Friday. For the first time in tournament history, all four No. 1 seeds have been eliminated before the Elite Eight: Purdue in the first round, Kansas in the second, and now the Crimson Tide and Cougars in the Sweet 16.
No. 5 San Diego State upset top-seed Alabama to clinch the program’s first-ever berth in the Elite Eight.
Houston’s dream of playing for a national title in its home city came to an end on Friday in a 89-75 loss to Miami in the NCAA Tournament.
Is there any better occasion to bust out some dance moves if you’re 73 years old than eliminating a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament?
There’s not, and that’s exactly what Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga did on Friday night after bouncing the Houston Cougars.

Far be it from me to critique someone else’s dancing. It was unorthodox, but dammit, it got the boys going and that’s all that matters.
He’s no stranger to dancing after a big win.
The Gonzaga star had quite the moniker during his first year with the Bulldogs.
The jokes about Drew Timme’s mustache or the length of time he played for Gonzaga never get old.
However, as the senior forward continues his final run with the Bulldogs—who will face UConn in an Elite Eight matchup in the West Region on Saturday—Gonzaga coach Mark Few took a moment to reflect on his players’ nicknames over the years in Friday’s news conference ahead of the big game.
The Hurricanes and their longtime coach had plenty to celebrate on Friday.
With a stunning 89–75 upset over No. 1 Houston on Friday, No. 5 Miami is now locked in as one of the eight teams who will keep dancing in the men’s NCAA tournament this weekend. And, apparently, the upset win inspired coach Jim Larrañaga to get in on the theme.
Following the Hurricanes’ historic Sweet 16 win, CBS cameras caught a classic moment in the Miami locker room showing Larrañaga breaking out some hilarious dance moves as his players cheered him on.
It’s a sign of the times that isn’t going away, as coaches have reiterated this March. And it has a direct impact on the upsets and parity around every conference.
The East’s play-in seeding continues to heat up, as Toronto got back in the winning column against the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
The end is in sight Columbus Blue Jackets fans, but before this miserable season comes to an end, Kent Johnson had something up his sleeve to get you excited.
If you haven’t been keeping tabs on the Blue Jackets, they’ve had a terrible season – their first in the Johnny Hockey era. As it stands, they’re at the very bottom of the NHL standings.
Hey, at least finishing in 32nd place means a just-under 20% shot at getting to choose which franchise-changing player they want: Connor Bedard or Adam Fantilli.
Hey, speaking of Fantilli, he’s a Michigan Wolverine.
