Yaxel Lendeborg says he lost all respect for Luka Doncic from his whining: “I had a lot of respect for him, you know, just watching. I didn’t really watch the NBA much, I just watch highlights seeing him kill people all the time. But then being in there first hand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect man. Like, that was awful. Like me getting frustrated, it’s not about the foul being called. It’s about him complaining the entire game. And then you get the foul called, congratulations bro. And then you talk to me like you did something great bro. Come on. That’s just weak you know. It kinda threw me off for a little while cause like I said, I had a lot of respect for him. Gone, man.”

Steph Curry approves of Yaxel Lendeborg’s talking trash with Luka Doncic: “I love confidence. I love that care and passion. From what I’ve seen from him, it’s just about playing basketball. It’s not about anything else other than the competitiveness. So, he’s setting the table for himself to show up, and I like that nature of the game. Whether you do it in between your ears or you let it out, I know he’ll be able to back it up.”

Yaxel Lendeborg on what he and Luka Doncic were going back and forth about: “I was telling him he sucks. He can’t score on me. You talking, you can’t score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that’s why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call, and his only bucket was a banker from half court. Like, I know that it’s a team sport. He had 28 on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked. Probably would have still got a foul call. But, you know, interesting.”
