Los Angeles Clippers guard Terrence Mann has been linked to Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic on several occasions. This started in the preseason of Mann's rookie year and has continued regularly every time the Clippers and Mavericks play.
Asked if he was surprised that Doncic would say so much nonsense, Mann, who will face Doncic's Mavericks in the opening round of this year's playoffs, responded, “I'm not surprised, because that's how we started from day one. Because of that,” he replied. One is that it's fun. ”
This is similar to what Mann told reporters in 2022 when asked about fighting Doncic. “That's between the lines, dude. He's a competitor and a great player. We hired the same agent, so that's nothing. That's a problem.” Between the lines, we're competitive and we're mutual. Sometimes I want to win, but it's just the love of trying to win the game. ”
Mann and Doncic, who are high-level competitors, tend to compete against each other but stay between the lines. Mann will likely be tasked with guarding Doncic at times in this series, and he will also have to be used offensively if the Mavericks try to lock Doncic into an MVP candidate.
