With 73 points scored last night in Atlanta, Luka Doncic was particularly upset. Hawks fans can thank Kenneth Roe, this Suns supporter who provoked Luka a few days earlier. This is called “waking up” the monster.
The scene takes place in Dallas this Wednesday, towards the end of the third quarter in the Mavericks – Suns match. Luka Doncic and the Mavs take the water against a huge Devin Booker, and some Phoenix fans present in the room take the opportunity to criticize the Slovenian superstar.
Among them ? A certain Kenneth Roe.
Roe, 22, is currently in the final year of his master’s degree in sports management at SMU in Dallas County. He is originally from Phoenix, and took advantage of the Suns’ trip to Texas to go to the American Airlines Center.
Sitting in the second row and seeing his favorite team kick the butt of rival Luka Doncic, Kenneth Roe – Devin Booker jersey on his shoulders and black cap on his head – allows himself to send a dig towards the Slovenian.
Luka Doncic had a Suns fan ejected for trash talking him mid-game ????
“Luka you tired? Get on the treadmill!,” according to @DuaneRankin.

Translation : “Luka, you’re exhausted! Take your ass to the gym! »
This did not fall on deaf ears.
Frustrated by the turn of events, Luka Doncic spots the Suns fan and asks security to eject him from the room (Luka will regret his action shortly after, aware of having overreacted). But it was really three days later that he took revenge… on the poor Atlanta Hawks.

73 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 25/33 shooting including 8/13 from 3-point range and 15/16 from free throws.
This is what Luka sent to the Atlanta floor last night to guide his team to victory. Something tells us that this Suns fan’s comments had something to do with this incredible offensive explosion.
“Luka is a great player. It will be interesting to see how he responds to that. » – Kenneth Roe, after the Mavs – Suns match.
Luka Doncic therefore responded by releasing the fourth greatest offensive performance in NBA history, and the greatest scoring performance for a European.
As for Kenneth Roe, he is no longer welcome in Atlanta.

The Suns fan who told Luka Doncic he needed to go to the gym to lose weight the day before yesterday?
Merci.
You woke up the MONSTER.
