Matas Buzelis on Luka Doncic: “What was my take? … I don’t even know what to say, honestly. He started killing obviously when I started talking to him.” Asked about the experience: “Probably not to talk to him.”
No kidding. Obviously talking trash is Luka’s game. Pull the Tim Duncan and don’t say shit. You never want to play another competitor’s game.
Timmy would hit you with phrases though
“Got you”
“Oooh”
“Almost”
“Nice try”
“You gotta get a hand up, sir”
“I genuinely believe you can’t defend me”
“Does thou not knoweth the bank is open?”
“Thy skills must be questioned”
“grilled domesticated red junglefowl in barbecue sauce”
I played a dude like this once. He’d say things like “too slow!” or “that’s mine” or some other cartoony phrases. Felt like I was hooping against Sonic the Hedgehog or something.
KG too funny man
I think that is more infuriating than a normal trash talker tbh.
Old man trash talk
idk why every time i see this i hear it in princes voice on chappelle show lol
“Excellent contest, my friend. Get em next time!”
Tim Duncan was a polite, trash talker. from experience that is even more annoying.
Same. Big same. It’s maddening.
It’s like that scene where Charlie Murphy balls with Prince and Prince tells Ashy Larry, “Good hustle.” And Larry just looks around mad like, “I am not on your team!”
It seems like you already know exactly what I’m talking about. It is so annoying when somebody basically tells you what they’re going to do. They don’t do it that particular plate so you get all screwed up in the head but then they do it the next time they have the ball so I guess the best thing IS D up and try not to listen, especially when they politely undressed you you like yeah I got 18 points. I got nine rebounds. I got one steel and two blocks. Meanwhile they doubled your points beat you by one rebound. I still play basketball. I started playing in a men’s 50–60 league only basically for the cardio workout and I’m surprised that there is actually an a decent skill level. All of these guys played college a touch of some D league guys that spent minimal time on NBA rosters none of them ever got the big big major money. But it’s just fun and it is competitive first place and 2nd place and third place do win money but by the time you give everybody on the team \(200 there goes the money if you win. Cause it basically cost \)50 and that’s just paying for your shirt as long as you wear black shorts it don’t matter..
You want to play another competitor’s game and beat them anyways. That’s the real way.
Was literally thinking the same exact thing 2 minutes ago, then this post, then your comment.
But Tim would just burn you anyway! That was hisn”talk.”
Luka: “yall better not put a white boy on me ever again. That’s disrespectful!!“🤣🤣🤣
Belokranjska pogača vs wonderbread
Good stuff from the young guy. Can’t be scared, but can’t deny getting cooked.
Luka left the kid speechless for a minute. It has to be hard for these guys who were always the best at anything involving athletics their whole lives. Then boom you get to the pros and there are people like Luka that can make you look like a normal person. It is probably a hard reality check.
I don’t even know why he did it. Draymond doesn’t even do it
We all ate dirt once, even though we never see anyone do it. It’s growing pains.
Also, Matas you are a Bull. There is probably a museum section at your home stadium dedicated to the idea that some people you should not trash talk.
Exactly. Like the franchise goat is like the one guy in the history of the sport who is the paragon of “shut the hell up and just play your game or something bad is going to happen to you”
Can’t hate it, he’s still only 21 and clearly not afraid. Yeah he got cooked but I’m a Matas believer.
First time?
Don’t poke the bear.
Out of the NBA best players, I tink only Jokic doesn’t go apex predator when he is shit talked. The rest pretty much all do. Especially Luka, Gianni’s, and Wemby. I think SGA is also more chill when he is getting poked at.
I mean, if you look at Jokic numbers he’s sort of always cooking. Leading the league in rebounding AND assists.
Today I learned that Buzelis is a regular American with American accent.
LOL same I just assumed he was a euro
Yeah if you remember him crying on draft night when the Bulls were about to pick him that was because he was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs
Oh right on, that’s dope
A scene from the future Luka documentary.
Keep talking your shit Matas. You’ll get em next time
He’s a good player but he won’t do that to Luka again. Did you watch the video? He took it on the chin like a champ. He’s learning the league and didn’t shy away from it. Gotta respect that
Keen to know what Matas said to him haha
‘Nice game Mike’
Definitely about his family situation. You could see it in the game how that comment just woke Luka up.
Buzi Vert is one of my favorite new player coming up, zero media attention at all
It’s a shame that the night he popped off a few nights ago with 41 just happened to be the same night another player happened to have double that.
Same, super fun to watch and he’s a dog
Why wouldn’t you talk to him after this performance luka dropped to 15th on the mvp ladder
He’s top 20 after this disgraceful performance?! Couldn’t even get the triple-double
Ngl first time hearing him talk this whole time I thought dude was born in lituhania lmao
Too late now dawg. You could never say another word, he’s gonna treat you like you said whatever pissed him off every time he sees you lmao.
‘Don’t poke the bear!’ Luka was on fire last night! He was so hot, that Reaves brought the ball up the left side of the court near the end of the game, LeBron was to the right of him and called for ball, Reaves ignored him and passed it to the other sideline to Luka. LeBron put his hands down, Luka got the ball and hit another three! I have NEVER seen anyone ignore LeBron like that! It’s a new day.
And that’s when it got personal.
Everybody loves Luka BRASSI!
Kid looks shell shocked dear gods.
“When keep’n it real goes wrong”
Buzelis speaks English really well, you can barely pick up on an accent
Probably cause he was born and raised in Chicago.
No I’m pretty sure he’s not
Buzelis was born in Chicago on October 13, 2004. Both of his parents played basketball professionally in Lithuania before immigrating to the United States and settling in the Chicago area, where Buzelis was born and raised.
now you know kid.
The face of someone who fucked around and found out.
Good for the kid, he talked his shit and got beat, then took it like a champ.
He says it all sad lol
Cooked boul.
Booker has a step brother now.
First generation he actually has dual citizenship, Lithuania-USA I read something interesting when the mother found out she was pregnant. 1992 Miguel GORBICHEV freed the Soviet Union and all 24 of their so-called country states like Ukraine ,Poland., Lithuania, etc. one thing Europe dislikes them right now so they should not think they can put that back together. The whole point he was smart to go back before he was five and spend 60 days there to keep his dual citizenship.
Bro is shook, saying he doesn’t back down from anyone as he looks like he’s about to cry LMFAO

Dude had 10 defensive boards, 3 steals, and a block to go along with the 51…
No you’re wrong!
It doesn’t matter bro. We got countless scrubs who can maintain NBA positions on 12-15ppg so long as they’re a lock-down defender, but switch it to 35/8/8 and suddenly the person doesn’t deserve to be praised for his skill unless he can also produce DREBs, stocks and be in the top 10% for opponent offensive attempts against him. Oh wait…
Did you watch this game?
Can always see nephews who watch the game or not. Hell, even going by stats you would think that Luka had a great defensive game just because of the stocks. This guy probably is going by narratives + haven’t watched in a while so thats sucks extra lol
At least pick the right game that supports your narrative to post this comment
You clearly don’t watch games.
He has been above his standards this year. What are you talking about?
🗣️💩
