But Kidd still finds himself looking for new ways to connect with his young protege, including one such moment that took place before Game 2. “You want to get Luka to talk, you talk Real Madrid,” he said of Dončić, who signed a five-year contract with the Spanish club’s basketball team as a 13-year-old in 2012 and played with them from 2015 to 2018. “If you want to piss him off, you talk about Barcelona. If you know about the rivalry with Real Madrid and Barcelona, you know how to poke the bear a little bit. “So today, I’m joking with him, and I go, ‘Man, I think I’m gonna take the Barcelona job. Did you see how they sacked the manager (on Friday)?’”
