Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here with the final Sports Report of the week for ya! And we’ve got a lot to cover! We’ll look at the scores from Major League Baseball…we’ll recap the insane streak that the New York Rangers are on…we’ll give ya a story about some controversy between New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former Pats head coach Bill Belichick…and we’ll look at the NBA Postseason games tonight! But first…
…This is hysterical. The amazing star for the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic, is one of the best best players in the game. Luka had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists in the Mavs’ 119 to 110 win over the Thunder last night in the NBA Playoffs. But it was the press conference after the game that has people talking. Because when Luka hit the podium, apparently one of the reporters in the room accidentally had porn playing on their phone (or computer)…it was then picked up by the room’s Bluetooth…and then played for all (including Luka) to hear.
Poor Luka is having a tough time on the Social Media. I mean…the guy is an amazing basketball player…and his team is advancing in the playoffs…but this is the second viral moment he’s had in a few days. Earlier this week…Luka went viral when a Thunder fan threw the ball down the court rather than giving it to the Mavs star.
Oh, well! Anyway, Luka will get the last laugh if his Mavericks teams upsets the favored Thunder (the series is currently tied at one game apiece). I’m Davey Mac…now on to the rest of the Sports Report!
