But after Doncic did this, the situation completely changed.
After going through the successive Grizzlies and Cavaliers dynasties, after witnessing the tragic experiences of superstars James and Durant, everyone in the league knows who not to mess with who, but only Doncic dares to provoke Hansen.
Doncic seemed indifferent to Jokic's reminder.
There are quite a few players who have dominated Europe before coming to the NBA, but he's the only one who did it at the age of 19.
In a way, he is the "Chosen One" of Europe.
Moreover, playing through the preseason, he felt the intensity of the NBA is lower than in Europe, and his consecutive scoring at the start proved this point.
Since that's the case, he has no reason to keep his dissatisfaction bottled up.
Especially tonight, the Cavaliers are cheering and paying tribute to Hansen, which made his dissatisfaction boil over.
