Luka Doncic is only in his second season in the NBA and is already one of the toughest players to guard in the NBA, so it makes a ton of sense that he’d get a lot of foul calls.
Not to Luke Walton, though. The Sacramento Kings coach got so mad last night at a foul call for Doncic while the Mavericks’ forward was dropping 33 points on his team.
He was so mad about the call he took a technical foul for it. As Doncic was walking up to the foul line, Walton told the second-year star that the ref who made the call was actually a fan of his.
Kings coach Luke Walton after picking up a technical in the 3rd quarter, calls over to Luka Doncic and says:
"Hey Luka, do me a favor, give him your autograph after the game. (points at official) – He's a fan, he's a fan of yours." 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/HU1SQ5oQe7

“Give the referee your autograph after the game. He’s a fan of yours.”
YO. I’m legitimately cracking up at this.
In the ref’s defense, Luka is good! I’m a fan, too. And, to be honest, so are the Kings, probably! It’s just too bad they weren’t big enough fans to draft him.
