VIDEO: LeBron James Pays Respect to Luka Doncic Postgame With NSFW Compliment
By Parker White
In one of the best games of this young NBA season, the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Luka Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks in an overtime thriller, as both stars ended with triple-doubles. LBJ noticed Doncic's impressive skill on the floor, leading to him dapping up the young star and calling him a bad m*****f*****. His words not mine. Take a look:

Even though LeBron ended the game with 39 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds, Doncic matched him with 31 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds, making it the first time in NBA history that opposing players had 15-assist triple-doubles.
This doesn't mean the contest was without controversy, however, as the Lakers were gifted a no-call on a three-pointer by Danny Green which forced overtime. The Mavericks were understandably salty about what should've been an illegal screen on Dwight Howard.

Still, this takes nothing away from the accomplishments of the two stars. Doncic is a bad man and LeBron knows it.
