After a Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals that the Mavericks won 109-108 over the Timberwolves, the team took questions in their post-game press conference.
Asked after the game what he officially said to Gobert, Doncic joked that he was speaking his native Slovenian tongue at his downtrodden defender.
Here's how Doncic summed up his own thoughts on the moment to TNT, referencing Gobert specifically:"He's long. He can't move. I can't move fast, but I can move faster than him." Oh, you cry foul on Doncic's claim? Don't worry, you're not alone: Mavs center Daniel Gafford agrees with you. Asked after the game about Doncic's trash-talking ways, Gafford acknowledged that his teammate can spit in various tongues, with his native Slovenian being a regular offender:"Especially when he starts talking his own language," Gafford said,"that's a different kind of trash talk."
But on what language Doncic shouted at Gobert on Friday, and whether it was English? Gafford couldn't argue against that.WFAA would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
