Mavs owner Mark Cuban tells national writer ‘[expletive] you’ for calling Luka Doncic a ‘whiner’

When his star player was criticized, Mavs owner Mark Cuban did not hesitate to fire back with some harsh words of his own.

ESPN senior writer Zach Lowe recently criticized Luka Doncic for how often the young Slovenian complains to the officials.

“[Doncic] has become one of the biggest whiners in the league,” Lowe said on his podcast. “It’s become constant. Every time he drives he’s whining.”

Cuban had a response to this criticism when he joined VICE TV’s Cari & Jemele Won’t Stick to Sports,

“I’ll tell you exactly what I think. [Expletive] you, Zach Lowe. You don’t know [expletive],” Cuban said. “I know Luka [Doncic] and he’s not a big whiner.

“It’s just [that] he’s passionate. He cares, he wants to win. He’s got some [expletive] to him where you’ll see him [making pleading motion] all the time and talking in one of five different languages. But no, he’s not a whiner. He’s a baller.”
