    > I don’t make mistakes, I’m not like the rest of you, I’m stronger, I’m smarter, I’m better, I AM BETTER. I’m not some weak kneed fucking crybaby that goes around fucking apolgizing all the time and why the fuck would you want me to be? All my life people have tried to control me, rich people, powerful people, tried to muzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent and obedient like I’m a fucking puppet. And you know what it worked, Because I allowed it to work and guess what, If they can control me they can control you, they already do you just realize it. I am done, I am done apolgizing, I am done being persecuted for my calls, You should be thanking christ that I am who I am, because you need me, you need me to save you, You Do, I am the only one who possibly can. You’re not the real superstar, I am the real superstar, I am the real reason people watch the NBA

  8. Buddy did it multiple times in the 4th quarter, I’m surprised it wasn’t more

  10. Honestly Luka should be fined like this every other game. The amount of complaining he does is insane.

  13. He did that a handful of times in the conference semis last year too, was he getting fined then?

  24. Biggest flop in the game mad he didn’t get 30 free throws.. meanwhile Steph shot ZERO

  25. Luka is incredibly lucky that they didn’t give him a retroactive technical for that.

    He already has 15, so his next tech will trigger a 1 game suspension.

  31. He was doing it all game. It was annoying and the calls weren’t nearly as bad as he was making it seem.

  32. FVV ruthlessly eviscerates a ref by name, $30k fine.

    Luka makes the money sign, $35k fine

    Lol

  33. Knew that was coming lol He’s damn lucky he wasn’t T’d up and suspended for his 16th.

  34. Funny how they fine him the EXACT same amount that they did Dillon Brooks last week for physically assaulting a camera man. This is why I don’t watch the NBA.

  35. If there is any shenanigans going on with reffing it’s league directed to push narratives and sell to advertisers. I highly doubt individual refs are doing anything they aren’t being told to do.

  36. I still can’t get over Luka Doncic of all ppl with the whistle he gets has the audacity to insinuate the refs were bribed against him lol half his offense is the refs sending him to the line

  37. Tim Donaghy was not an isolated incident. Yes I know he’s persona non grata but read the details of his book that got turfed. Joey Crawford had insanely wild calls consistently and likely got away with fixing games. It was pervasive in the 90’s/early 2000’s and likely hasn’t gone anywhere.

  40. If the same ref worked the game that teched up Kawhi and tossed Mann, he would have had security escort doncic out

  43. Luka Doncic is the most football/soccer player in the history of the NBA.

    The way he complains to the refs and that gesture is 100% football/soccer.

  47. The NBA and the refs really don’t like being reminded that they are corrupt and paid off. Tim Donaghy wasn’t the only ref involved. There’s been more and there will always be more.

  48. I love that players are getting much more blatant in their disrespect of NBA officials because those slimy officials absolutely deserve it. Officiating can never be trusted so long as it is impossible to fire an official or referee.
