NBA legend Tim Hardaway Sr. made some critical comments about Luka Doncic, calling him a ‘crybaby’ and saying that the Slovenian superstar is not a leader.
His son, who plays alongside Doncic, requested to speak to the media to make it known that he disagrees with what his father has said.
“I disagree with it 1000%,” Tim Hardaway Jr. said, via Callie Caplan of Dallas Morning News. “I’ve come out numerous times and told you all how much leadership Luka has shown throughout my whole entire time here in Dallas.
“He shows it on and off the floor, and a lot of the situations we’ve been in as a team, we wouldn’t be in without him, so let’s just set that straight.”
The 31-year-old small forward also defended Kyrie Irving, saying that he has demonstrated leadership as well.
