NBA: Luka Doncic not only sent the Timberwolves packing from the playoffs, but he also ended the night early for one overzealous Minnesota fan.
Luka SHREDS mother f***er Wolves fan | 00:39In an NBA Finals series full of superstars, headlined by masterful teammate Luka Doncic, Australian duo Josh Green and Dante Exum won’t be getting that much attention.
But at various points during the regular season and even in the playoffs, Exum and especially Green have emerged as key role players in what could be a championship-winning team.Source: AFP Both Exum and Green were at a crossroads of sorts in their careers, still with so much left to give but not sure where the next chapter would take them.the same player he used to look up toBut things could have been very different for Green if he had not put in the work during a “big summer” after the 2022 playoffs, sparking an “incredible” two-month transformation.
Which brings us back to Green, because even from the first time Abunassar met Green — at that point just a 19-year-old draft hopeful — there were already signs of “something special”. The result was that Green moved to Las Vegas about a week after the postseason ended, working with Abunassar for two months on his shooting, ball-handling and finishing.
In fact, former Celtics champion Kevin Garnett put Green’s name forward as one of the secret weapons Boston has to look out for in the upcoming Finals series.‘KG Certified’ podcast“You see how Dort played Luka... he was in his arse making him fall. He really beat Luka up that series. That’s what Green is going to do... he competes, he will run your arse over. “Australians should wake up looking for the smoke, he plays D like a stronger Caldwell-Pope... he’s got fight in him.
Exum had played all 82 games of his rookie campaign, starting 41 of them, but missed the entire 2015-16 season and then later underwent shoulder surgery in October, 2017. There, Exum didn’t see any playing time and was waived in late 2021, seven years after he was first drafted into the league at fifth overall.
“The expectations were off the charts for him when he was drafted at 18,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said, “but sometimes it just takes people a little bit longer”.
