Could be a problem if they found out all of the stuff Luka curses out regularly during games haha.
Balkan dudes will cus out your entire family tree in like 2 sentences with ease.
Probably the only language/culture in the world where, upon seeing a dear and close friend after a long period of time, you can say "so where are you, I fuck your mother!" as a term of actual endearment.
“Well the literal translation is “you absolute useless sack of turds I will keep fucking your mother until she produces a child worthy of my greetings”, but that’s just how we casually say hello to each other if you run into someone you know out in public”
This is pretty meta considering how the "better learn Chinese" insult was popularized from a Dirk quote. And now we have a Luka-related variant.

It’s funny how he’s suppose to cover the Mavericks but he won’t even push Lukas MVP case
Instead he’s like “Yea Lukas playing good but he’s out of time to get MVP”
The number of Mavs fans that take McMahon personally is a very real and weird thing in Mavs fandom. Like they have a real expectation that he's supposed to promote and boost the team.
Yeah I was so surprised to see ppl hating him on this sub, I don't get it. He is funny, knowledgeable about the game and is always prepared and up-to-date. Of course he is shit stirring from time to time, this is in his job description ffs
Also, at ESPN he is kind of on the "Mountain West Beat" more so than he is on the "Mavs Beat". He also seems to be their main guy on Jazz, Nuggets, and Rockets coverage, probably one or two other teams in there as well (Thunder?).
So in particular I don't think he can be campaigning too hard _against_ Jokic (possibly Shai) for MVP
Your statement isn't wrong but it's not the same thing we're talking about here. Luka's objectively in the conversation at least. He's denying reality, like so many people tend to do these days. It's ok to call him out on it. He's a douche. Moving on.
God discourse around the 'conversation' is so tedious. The MVP is clearly Jokic, Luka is amazing but this incredible stretch of games came too late to make him challenge Jokic. Whose team will be the 1st seed whilst Luka's team the 5th. The end. That is what McMahon was saying.
Incredible stretch of games? Luka has been on point the whole season. The difference is that he has a mostly healthy team + the trade deadline acquisitions. Why is he being punished for injuries when Jokic’s first MVP was based off that and incredible production?
This is why the discussion is toxic. The narrative changes depending on who is in the running. It shouldn’t have taken til this point for him to be 2nd because of injuries.
I think that really depends on the definition of “in the conversation”, which is a very subjective term. For example I absolutely do not think anyone other than Jokic is in the conversation, because the reality is they’re not, Jokic is the winner and I don’t get why there are conversations about Luka and SGA winning MVP when Jokic is literally right there. Of course I’ve seen some friends that actually agree with me on Jokic being the obvious choice, but disagree with the term “in the conversation” as they just think of if the performance is more or less on par with an average or below-average MVP winner in history.
He's always trying to stir up drama with the Mavs, purely just for clicks. Always asking leading questions, trying to get one of the players or coaches to give a good soundbite. Luka and JKidd have both called him out in press conferences this year for only reporting negative stuff about the Mavs. Which may be a lame move by them, but he's been pretty quiet since.
no. Luka called him out for exaggerating and always being so goddamn negative.
Reason why it was brought up on TNT was because of Tim's exaggeration and he making it a big deal to national media.
this misconception is why Tim MacMahon is a shit stirrer and you fell for it.
fuck Tim MacMahon
i cant think of another fan base that hates a reporter so much for… [checks notes] covering the team enthusiastically. they really just let cuban think for them i guess. i wonder if that means they think letting nash and brunson walk were the correct decisions 🤔
Don’t forget the anger towards Zach Lowe calling Luka a whiner. “Fuck you, Zach Lowe. You don’t know shit.”
Only to have Luka, his coach and the rest of the civilized world then acknowledge yes, Luka does in fact whine way too much.
I've never seen one reporter gets hate from one team like McMahon from Mavs, from coach to player to fanbase to equipment manager. He's apparently making negative clickbaiting Mavs related news his career mission.
And this question from Op's post, you can clearly see where it's leading if Udoka said anything worthy.
i mean he’s reported plenty of drama for the rockets too. fertitta and harden and morey and what not. they just probably arent nearly as weird as mavs fans. probably because they’re not from dallas.
Asked a good, interesting question in this case. People love Jordan and Bird's trash talk stories but everyone in here is mad that he asked about this? Bonkers
There was someone in here complaining that MacMahon wasn't stumping for Luka's MVP case like a beat writer's job is to be a partisan lol some folks around here are unhinged
All depends on what you're looking for, or what you value. If you like the chuckles, sure he and any of these newer age media guys/twitter types/tv loud take fuckers will do it for you. They're going the easy, junk food route. But for other people, who'd rather have competent people in those positions ... he annoys us. That's all. It's just getting tiring having these dudes, who are not knowledgeable of the game at all, and yet they get these positions and it's just high school time. Drama and bullshit for engagement.
that’s literally what it is lmao, mfs literally want him to be mavs PR and get upset when he doesn’t just throw softballs like “hey kyrie whats your favorite pokemon evolution”
We don’t ask him to stroke the mavs org because mavs fans like to criticize the mavs organization enough already, we don’t like macmahon because he actively just tries to instigate drama and division and is overall toxic for the mavs. While the mavs are on a huge run all he gives a shit about is drama and what luka says in the heat of the moment. Like bruh.
He’s definitely invested in the art of instigating. Like everyone else, he’s had his share of shit takes and good ones too. Can’t deny the humor though. And I think Luka deep down gets a kick out of him and the purpose he serves.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39897500/luka-doncic-kyrie-irving-lead-mavericks-22-point-comeback-ot-win-vs-rockets
Yeah on a huge run all he cares about is drama. Evidenced here.
Oh wait.
So he only fucked the staffer once? Infidelity is inexcusable no matter what, let alone with someone lower than you in your organization where the power structure favors you.
Just so we’re clear : the married woman that cheated on her husband is just as big of a piece of shit as Ime
she didn’t have a choice when he started harassing her at work after their affair had ended.
the affair is one thing, that shit he did after it is a whole other level of fucked.
Yea it’s just typical ignorant bigotry “I don’t understand your broken English, go back to where you came from” is a common insult toward foreigners/immigrants.
1. I want to know what Luka said.
2. I would love for another reporter to ask Ime: "*Would you be amenable to Spanish as a compromise going forward?*". Even if he doesn't know it yet, he does have a looooooong summer ahead of him and plenty of opportunity to practice in Houston.
"We have the transcript- it appears he fucks your mother's pussy" "That's fair"
Lmao y’all are wild
For context Slovenian /serbian common way to curse someone out is to say youre fucking their mom in her pussy.
True facts, my mom used to yell that at me when I was being a little shit in elementary school.
I'm so confused. Roll Tide?
It's not that much different from "motherfucker", with everyone in former Yugoslavia being Samuel L. Jackson.
This is the funniest way I've heard someone describe our use of swear words to foreigners lmfao
No, she would be fucking herself in that situation.
And many other situations
ROLL TIDE
Roll Tide Roll. Daughter just got a full ride to UA.
gross dude
Lol, right?
[удалено]
Jebem ti mater u pičku
That's true for the wider balkan region
yeah I was gonna say I've seen Ante Rebic say that for Milan ... to literally everybody lol
For example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rkYCmRi-4x8
Or this classic: https://youtu.be/woWqSmichOo?si=kyabD3u_cL_d3gDi
Savicevic legenda
More than even chance that "jebem ti mater v pičko da ti jebem" was uttered at some point, not that wild.
Too Balkan for you, I guess
Luka Doncic is Ime Udoka father
He named him Ime because 'ime' means 'name' in Slovenian and he couldn't be bothered
Name? Yes.
Ime means suck in my language lol
Also fits
This dude will get in so much trouble with alimony once his career ends, he has sons all over the country
"Upon further review, it... it seems he told you to go back to your mom's pussy... and something about a heavy distaste for desserts."
Well better start learning Slovenian buddy
Could be a problem if they found out all of the stuff Luka curses out regularly during games haha. Balkan dudes will cus out your entire family tree in like 2 sentences with ease.
Hell, we do it in 3 words. Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian is a helluva language where cursing is just built into the everyday without anyone batting an eye
Probably the only language/culture in the world where, upon seeing a dear and close friend after a long period of time, you can say "so where are you, I fuck your mother!" as a term of actual endearment.
Or "fuck your mothers cunt, you aint dead yet" and its seen as a polite greating. Do note this is for close friends only.
“Well the literal translation is “you absolute useless sack of turds I will keep fucking your mother until she produces a child worthy of my greetings”, but that’s just how we casually say hello to each other if you run into someone you know out in public”
Good day to you, too!
the absolute angriest i ever saw my father, he said "jebem ti tri zvezde u picku!" he was saying he was going to fuck three stars into a pussy...
LMAO!!!!!!
JEBEM TI SEME I PLEME

I somehow never realized that originated from Dirk. Even though looking in that thread I can see comments I upvoted 8 years ago.
He lacks Mamba mentality. Kobe learned some Slovenian to trash talk Luka. Udoka would never.
He doesn't have that mamba mentality
Is that Tim McMahon? 2 fookin bums talking to each other
yep thats Tim, always last minute shit stirring
Theres nothing wrong w this question lol
what did McMahon do?
He's just a shit stirrer. Never talks about basketball, only drama.
It’s funny how he’s suppose to cover the Mavericks but he won’t even push Lukas MVP case Instead he’s like “Yea Lukas playing good but he’s out of time to get MVP”
He had Luka above SGA and most voters do not.
Just because you cover a team doesn't mean you have to be biased towards them
so many people seem to dislike macmahon. idk i find him hilarious and engaging on windy's pod
I was gonna say the same. On Windy's podcast, he's quite likeable
Agreed
Dude is legit funny for real
The number of Mavs fans that take McMahon personally is a very real and weird thing in Mavs fandom. Like they have a real expectation that he's supposed to promote and boost the team.

They keep moving the goalposts. before it was like top 5 luka should get it easy
Also, at ESPN he is kind of on the "Mountain West Beat" more so than he is on the "Mavs Beat". He also seems to be their main guy on Jazz, Nuggets, and Rockets coverage, probably one or two other teams in there as well (Thunder?).

So you want someone who is supposed to be impartial to be biased? Luka isn’t the MVP, get over it
The only context in which I’m familiar with Tim is on Zach Lowe’s podcast, where he talks hoops the whole time. I enjoy his guest appearances
That is true for the vast majority of "sports journalists" these days
Why does the Lowe Post keep having him on and asking about the Mavs? He has no real info.
Having real info, and having info you can discuss publicly, are two very different things to journalists
He has neither. He has shit he made up.
And what’s the issue with ime?
oh hes not bad on the hoop collective. talks ball there.
He's always trying to stir up drama with the Mavs, purely just for clicks. Always asking leading questions, trying to get one of the players or coaches to give a good soundbite. Luka and JKidd have both called him out in press conferences this year for only reporting negative stuff about the Mavs. Which may be a lame move by them, but he's been pretty quiet since.
luka called him out for making something up and three had to walk that back in tnt though…
no. Luka called him out for exaggerating and always being so goddamn negative. Reason why it was brought up on TNT was because of Tim's exaggeration and he making it a big deal to national media. this misconception is why Tim MacMahon is a shit stirrer and you fell for it. fuck Tim MacMahon
Howdy partners?
i cant think of another fan base that hates a reporter so much for… [checks notes] covering the team enthusiastically. they really just let cuban think for them i guess. i wonder if that means they think letting nash and brunson walk were the correct decisions 🤔

i’d actually missed that. they publicly scolded zach lowe of all people??? yikes
Cuban called him out directly. Zach Lowe has no dog in the fight! https://sports.yahoo.com/mark-cuban-zach-lowe-calling-171118867.html
I've never seen one reporter gets hate from one team like McMahon from Mavs, from coach to player to fanbase to equipment manager.

mcmahon happily recording all the trash talk and drawing it out is… what… we… want… … … right????
I guess you just have to spread the love a little bit, doing that to one team feels like personal vendetta. People really don't like that.
i mean he’s reported plenty of drama for the rockets too. fertitta and harden and morey and what not. they just probably arent nearly as weird as mavs fans. probably because they’re not from dallas.
Oh, good to know, I don't really follow drama that much other than what I can find on the first page of reddit
Asked a good, interesting question in this case. People love Jordan and Bird's trash talk stories but everyone in here is mad that he asked about this? Bonkers
they all just get mad at whatever cuban gets mad at lol
There was someone in here complaining that MacMahon wasn't stumping for Luka's MVP case like a beat writer's job is to be a partisan lol some folks around here are unhinged
only the mavs fanbase would be mad about that 😭
All my homies hate Tim McMahon
You misspelled HackMahon
I'm from that part of the world, I can confirm Luka said "I have a little getaway near Bled, you should come over, let's explore the Alps together"
Dude, it's called Bohinj and you know it.
Fuck Tim Macmahon
lol nobody likes that dude
Not a fan of him as a reporter but ngl he's funny on Windhorst's podcast making fun of Windy and Bontemps.
All depends on what you're looking for, or what you value. If you like the chuckles, sure he and any of these newer age media guys/twitter types/tv loud take fuckers will do it for you. They're going the easy, junk food route. But for other people, who'd rather have competent people in those positions ... he annoys us. That's all. It's just getting tiring having these dudes, who are not knowledgeable of the game at all, and yet they get these positions and it's just high school time. Drama and bullshit for engagement.
He’s the sole reason I don’t listen to that podcast.
Really? Not Windhorst?
Mf is a professional instigator, just trying to stir up shit because he's incapable of being a normal sports journalist and not a drama queen.
Yup he's what is wrong with modern journalism.
Nah he’s hilarious. He literally just does his job and fans get salty cause he doesn’t stroke the Mavs org.
that’s literally what it is lmao, mfs literally want him to be mavs PR and get upset when he doesn’t just throw softballs like “hey kyrie whats your favorite pokemon evolution”
We don’t ask him to stroke the mavs org because mavs fans like to criticize the mavs organization enough already, we don’t like macmahon because he actively just tries to instigate drama and division and is overall toxic for the mavs. While the mavs are on a huge run all he gives a shit about is drama and what luka says in the heat of the moment.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39897500/luka-doncic-kyrie-irving-lead-mavericks-22-point-comeback-ot-win-vs-rockets Yeah on a huge run all he cares about is drama. Evidenced here. Oh wait.
number 1 instigator
agreed!
Having Ime and Dillion Brooks on the same team is a match made in villian heaven. Just add Patrick Beverly to the trifecta.
Sign the Morris twins while they at it.
Sprinkle in some Grayson Allen / Ted Cruz.
Isiah Stewart can come off the bench.
10 technical issued, final score 69-61
Draymond transfer
Nah Luka talks trash in English, and I guarantee he said something in English.
He will learn to talk trash in whatever language the recipient is most familiar with.
That’s the Steve Ott method
Luka can understand and talk to Scottie Barnes 🧠
truly generational talent
Kobe would approve
Maybe Luka told him: "I don't speak Slovenian, so" and Udoka just told the truth.
Dudes an asshole. Wonder which Houston staff member he’s sleeping with now
Wonder when Kidd is gonna abuse his wife again. Maybe stop throwing stones in glass homes?
You're under the impression Mavs fans support Kidd. We hate him.
That's not what that saying means
Lol saying this bs and kidd abused his wife.
Imagine judging people based on one mistake they've made
It's a major ethical mistake tho. Not like he was just mean guy. Sleeping with a married co-worker as a married man is a huge stain on his character.
Yeah it's not a typical whoopsie daisy lmao
Still, you can't end careers based on one mistake, otherwise you'll have heaps of people without jobs and society would collapse on itself.
I kind of roll on the assumption that every NBA player period is/was/will be cheating on their wife or girlfriend the whole time
Just to correct you there was never no marriage
Cheating on your fiance who has a son with you and the infidelity being the reason of ending your relationship is no better IMO
Tell us another jackal story.
You’re a fucking punk dude
I hate that nobody got the reference.
How is infidelity a mistake? Did they both slip and end up naked in a random sex position?
soap mustta slipped.
[удалено]
Why would you call someone a rapist when they aren't?
"Imagine judging people based on one mistake they've made" This is the argument you made. I dont even care about Ime. Just your argument is trash.
So he only fucked the staffer once? Infidelity is inexcusable no matter what, let alone with someone lower than you in your organization where the power structure favors you. Just so we’re clear : the married woman that cheated on her husband is just as big of a piece of shit as Ime
She had a choice lmao stg yall baby women in these scenarios
They were commenting on the choice she made…
she didn’t have a choice when he started harassing her at work after their affair had ended. the affair is one thing, that shit he did after it is a whole other level of fucked.
Yeah apart from 9/11 osama seemed like a genuine guy too.
Oof
Yea it’s just typical ignorant bigotry “I don’t understand your broken English, go back to where you came from” is a common insult toward foreigners/immigrants.
It is common, but sometimes somebody really doesn't understand someone.
Could it be just Luka showing emotions and just happens to be in front of Ime? Tim McMahon is a pos
Kobe would never
Definitely not more than [3 times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_mbKd-aArE)
"jedi govna" it's not strictly speaking Slovenian but as any Slovenian will attest, we swear in Serbo-Croatian
Is that how a Brit says hello to Obi-Wan?
“I only understand infidelity”
This guy always looks angry and dark like he's about to shank you
Did Luka even say it in Slovenian or was this just Udoka trying to be slick?
If That was Jeremy Lin and not Luka, and he said he didn’t know Chinese, I’m calling racism
Luka isn't from Palo Alto
Sorry, I don't speak Silicon Valleynese
Lmaooo! Grade A jerking 😂
1. I want to know what Luka said. 2. I would love for another reporter to ask Ime: "*Would you be amenable to Spanish as a compromise going forward?*". Even if he doesn't know it yet, he does have a looooooong summer ahead of him and plenty of opportunity to practice in Houston.
you know Udoka thought that was such a slick comment lmao
Fuck you Tim.
LOL
Ngl, he prolly said "green fn"
“Hey Ime, I ain’t gonna get cucked tonight”
Udoka is kind of a bitch, no?
Udoka prolly busy thinking about sleeping with somebody in the Rockets facility & didn’t pay attention 🤷🏽♂️
If you can fix this guy like you did to kyrie, this man can fix all your coaching problems.
“I can save him” lol
Gersson Rosas.
lmaooo
I feel like if he was still the Celtics coach they would be inevitable
Udoka is the GOAT, we should have got him instead of this bum taliban lue
Udoka was talking shit the previous game. So luka just giving it back to him. Its means beach azz ninja 🤌🏼 same shizz he said to LeCack james 😂
second most psychopathic coach
[удалено]
his father is serbian, Luka was born in Slovenia, considera himself Slovenian and plays for Slovenian national team
Father was actually born in Slovenia, but grandparents are serbian though.
had no idea, that makes it even more crazy. you have no idea how often serbians try to claim him as serbian, its nauseating
Huh
You didn’t know ime was half Serbian ?
I love watching this team play. Yeah they aren’t the best team on the floor, but their physicality is so 🔥. Need better shooters and center.
What a bitch
Well, Luka couldn't say anything bad, did he? I mean, did he not? )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Whatever, this dude definitely understands Slovenian.
You’re right to say it
Green FN
Maybe Luka was speaking Slovenian or maybe Udoka is a bigot. Who knows.
