In the Lakers' season-opening win over the Warriors on October 21, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg spent an eight-minute stretch jawing with Luka Doncic. After his first NBA game, Lendeborg said watching Doncic's constant complaining cost him all respect for the star. The discussion weighs whether the rookie popped off too early and whether the feud is good for the league, and it now also holds the detail that Lendeborg held Doncic to 1-of-6 shooting as his primary defender while Doncic scored 28.
