The Dallas Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the 2nd time in three seasons. They defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in a thrilling Game 6. The Mavericks and their star man, Luka Doncic were forced to fight until the last second. Fortunately, a pair of crucial free throws from P.J. Washington, one of the team’s crucial trade deadline pickups helped Dallas win 117-116.

Interestingly, Josh Green of the Mavs was interviewed by an ESPN Australia reporter, Kane Pitman. However, the interview quickly turned hilarious when Mavs star man Luka Doncic interrupted Green’s interview. Green invited Doncic to Australia, to which Doncic rejected his invitation by stating there were too many spiders in Australia.

In a video posted by Kane Pitman on X, Green said, “Luka is coming to Australia this offseason.” Doncic replied, “No there’s too many spiders.”

Josh Green and Luka Doncic just now.

Luka: "ESPN Australia!"
Green: "Luka is coming to Australia this offseason…"
Luka: "No there's too many spiders…"
Green: "I've seen none of Slovenia..probably a reason for that…"
Luka: "We have no spiders…"
