“Luka Doncic such a great teammate for learning to pronounce names right”: NBA Twitter reacts as Mavs 6’7” star learns JaVale McGee’s name

During training camp, Luka Doncic hilariously learned how to pronounce new Mavericks teammate JaVale McGee’s name.

Training camp for the 2022-2023 season is underway. Players and coaches use this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new faces on the team’s roster. Luka Doncic uses this period to get to know his teammates better.

JaVale McGee is one of the new additions to the Dallas Mavericks squad. Now, pronouncing JaVale’s name isn’t all that difficult. However, for the Slovenian, it was a pretty difficult task.

While calling out to McGee, Luka initially called him “Joel”. The 23-year-old soon learned how to rightly pronounce JaVale after a few wrong tries.

Here, have a look at the hilarious clip.

Having a deep postseason run these past playoffs, the Mavericks are a much more experienced squad. Hopefully, the Texas-based franchise witnesses a similar kind of success.
