Coach Rick Carlisle was asked about it during his media session on July 20. Here is what he had to say.

"“I’m going to guess Luka is good at it because he is pretty much good at anything he tries.”"

Carlisle also told a tale about the epic Spikeball showdowns featuring Luka and JJ against Kleber and Hardaway Jr.

It has been fantastic to see the Mavericks bonding and competing in Orlando. That is certain to pay dividends when the playoffs roll around. There is work to be done before that, though. The Mavs want to move up during the eight seeding games. Expect them to be ready to hit the ground sprinting on July 31.

Fans will get plenty more glimpses of Luka Doncic and the Mavericks enjoying life in the bubble. The team has off on July 21. That usually means players getting out for some fun. Stay tuned to The Smoking Cuban for all the latest.
