NBA fans are taking shots at Dennis Schroder after the hooper tried to punch Luka Doncic during the matchup a day earlier. Schroder was apparently fed up of the Slovenian continually calling him a ‘b**ch’ and was reported to have swung at him on the court.
Fans have been joking about the situation, with hardly anyone taking Schroder’s side. Many are actually supporting Doncic’s taunting and that Schroder deserved to be called a ‘b**ch’ if he let some mere taunting get to him on the court.
“Luka Doncic has reportedly been calling Dennis Schroder a ‘b**ch’ since the Olympics, and Dennis finally got fed up and attempted to swing on him (shocked face emoji), per @ShamsCharania,” NBA Central tweeted.

“He mad cuz Luka is right,” one fan said.
“International hoops trash talk always hits different. This feels less like a one-off moment and more like months of simmering tension finally boiling over, elite competitors, big egos, zero chill, once pride gets touched. (smiling face with cold sweat emoji)” one fan stated.
“the start of a friendship,” one fan added.
NBA Fans Feel That Luka Doncic Is In The Wrong
Meanwhile, many NBA fans feel that Luka Doncic is pretty insecure and jealous about Dennis Schroder’s prowess on the court. Some even mercilessly trolled the Lakers hooper in the comments.
“Luka is mad that Dennis is a greater international player than Luka can ever dream of being,” one fan said.

“I swear Luka had a black eye not too long ago I can’ find the proof anywhere almost like he got it erased (thinking face emoji)” another fan said.
“Can’t defend himself, balding at 26 and addicted to food. Luka better thank god he was blessed with height and the ability to hoop,” one more fan stated.
Most recently, Luka Doncic and the Lakers took on the Kings and lost. Doncic himself managed 42 on the board as the team’s lead scorer, with King James adding another 22. While Doncic may be looking up to Schroder as a much better player than himself, it looks like the Slovenian has made himself at home with the Lakers.
After being traded from the Mavs in shocking news heard around the world, fans were worried that Doncic may not acclimate himself soon enough to LA. However, the baller has managed to wrap LA fans around his finger, even amidst the tiffs with Dennis Schroder of the Kings.
