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.

REPORT: Chiefs Emerge As Clear-Cut Favorites To Land Star Wide Receiver From AFC Rival Ahead Of The NFL Trade Deadline

The Kansas City Chiefs are thought to be the favorites to land a wide receiver who is expected to be on the move this month.

The reigning Super Bowl champions just brought Mecole Hardman back, reuniting with the wideout after he joined the New York Jets earlier this year. But they could still be in the market for another receiving option and, according to BetOnline odds, are the favorites to acquire Jerry Jedy from the Denver Broncos.

Said platform has the Chiefs at +400 to trade for Jeudy ahead of the deadline, though there’s nothing else to suggest that they’re the frontrunners, and the Indianapolis Colts are reported to be in concrete talks.

It’s understood that the wideout is very likely to be placed on the trade block by Denver after their disastrous start to the season. The Broncos are 1-5 under new head coach Sean Payton, who could make moves to overhaul and bring his own players in for next season.

Jeudy, a first-round pick out of Alabama by the Broncos in 2020,  has only managed 20 receptions on 29 targets, registering 222 receiving yards
