Tim Hardaway Jr. was not happy with the Mavericks’ jumbotron operator after replays of teammate Luka Doncic getting crossed up by Jaylen Brown were played in front of the home crowd.
“Don’t show that s—!” the guard said after the embarrassing video flashed through the arena.

The play was certainly worthy of another look, but this particular setting wasn’t the location to be celebrating Brown’s impressive move.
On the crossover, Brown goes behind his back, stopping on a dime while watching his defender slide past. The Boston star then drained his jump shot as Doncic watched helplessly from the floor.
As if the moment wasn’t forgettable enough the Dallas faithful, the home team’s jumbotron operator made Doncic relive his pain.
Hardaway came to the defense of his teammate in hilarious fashion, a reaction that quickly went viral on social media.
He wasn’t the only one surprised by the replay, though.
Jaylen Brown jokes, ‘Somebody needs to get fired’ for showing replay.
In the postgame press conference, Jaylen Brown was told that replays of his crossover were shown to Mavs fans. He had a top-notch response.
“They played it here?” he asked while speaking to the media. “Somebody needs to get fired if they did that. That’s crazy.”
“Somebody needs to get fired if they did that” 😂
