Los Angeles Lakers superfan Snoop Dogg recently ventured into new NBA territory, attending Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves. In that game, where Luka Doncic’s performance was stunning enough, the Mavericks secured their ticket to the finals. Doncic’s dominant play not only impressed the crowd but also won over Snoop Dogg himself.
In a podcast appearance, the renowned rapper recounted an intense moment during the game where Doncic engaged in some trash talk directed at a heckler.

“It was somebody that was talking shit to him. Every minute I was there, he was like, ‘Luca, you cry, baby. You cried.’ And then when Luca took the lead, he said, ‘Who is crying now, motherfucker?’”
However, Snoop Dogg admitted that Doncic’s prowess on the court that night turned him into a fan.
“So I became a fan of Luca that night,” he added.
Doncic indeed delivered an impressive stat line in Game 5, scoring 36 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out five assists. Such outstanding contributions throughout the Western Conference Finals series earned him the well-deserved title of WCF MVP.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Doncic’s performance in elimination games is his scoring output. His average of 34.1 points per game in these situations is the highest in NBA history.
In Game 4 against the Celtics, Doncic scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
“People Forget He’s a Rookie”- Luka Doncic Eases Expectations on Dereck Lively II Following Game 4 Performance
The Dallas Mavericks had the last opportunity to remain in the NBA Finals, and they made the most of it by snatching a 122-84 win in Game 4 over the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving mostly looked after the offense. However, they needed a third player who would come through to make an impact. The player was none other than Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II. His outstanding performance earned him praise from the franchise’s superstar.
During the post-game press conference, Doncic’s face lit up when asked to share his thoughts about Lively. Praising his teammate for the double-double contribution, the Slovenian said, “I think people forget he’s a rookie doing this stuff. He’s been amazing the whole season, just watching him grow has been unbelievable.”
Friday night was the first time since mid-November last year that Lively attempted a shot from behind the 3-point arc. But when Doncic passed him the ball, the 7-foot-1 center could hold himself back and shot a marvelous bucket from the deep. He finished the night with 11 points and 12 rebounds by shooting 4-of-5 from the floor.
However, his on-court performance helped the Mavs maintain their supremacy in the game, and his off-court actions also benefitted the team.
Dereck Lively’s Pep Talk to Luka Doncic Revealed
During the game, Luka Doncic appeared more focused and wasn’t seen arguing with the game officials about any decision. The secret behind this was Dereck Lively’s pep talk to the five-time All-Star.
