During a recent NBA game, some Detroit Pistons fans initiated chants of 'Luka sucks' aimed at Dallas Mavericks' star player Luka Doncic. Unfazed by the taunts, Doncic responded on the court by becoming the first player in NBA history to record six consecutive 30+ point triple-doubles, leading the Mavericks to a victory over the Pistons, who lost the game. Doncic later commented on the chants, noting his amusement and dismissing the claims made by the fans. The Pistons, struggling this season with a record of 10-53, witnessed first-hand the folly of provoking an elite player in top form.
The Pistons are 10-53 this season, but their fans were chanting 'LUKA SUCKS!' during last night's game.... 😅 https://t.co/CXxphOljs6 https://t.co/ZhQCWeJdke

Maybe don't poke the bear when he's on this kind of tear. Some Pistons fans did by chanting "Luka sucks" then got to watch Doncic become the first player ever to have six straight 30+ point triple-doubles (and Detroit lost). https://t.co/yldynem5zH
