Luka Doncic hit Rudy Gobert with some absolutely ruthless trash talk both on and off the floor as the Mavericks beat the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
Luka Doncic roasted Rudy Gobert so hard on the court on Friday night that it’s already becoming a meme, but he might have burned him to a crisp even harder off of it after leading his Dallas Mavericks to a 109-108 comeback win over Gobert’s Minnesota Timberwolves.

Marcus Mariota of the Washington Commanders — wait, he’s a Commander now? — will become the first quarterback in NFL history to wear No. 0 starting with the 2024 season.
