Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic and his head coach, Jason Kidd, attended the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Before the game, the Mavericks posted a video on Twitter of Doncic and a horned lizard (who he called Luka Jr.) sending good luck and well-wishes to TCU before they took on Georgia for a chance at the title. The vibes were at an all-time high.
Once at the game, Doncic went on Instagram Live to show his followers his view of Georgia-TCU at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Doncic quickly realized, however, that he didn’t know how to use the app very well. He struggled to make the camera show the field, instead just facing himself:

It didn’t take long for Doncic, who speaks four languages and has an elite basketball IQ, to get increasingly frustrated with technology.
However, even that was a challenge for him as he wasn’t entirely sure how to end the stream on IG Live.
WARNING: NSFW language ahead!

Doncic doesn’t exactly have the type of social media presence that typically goes live on Instagram. He says he usually prefers to just play chess when he is on his phone.
All things considered, this must have been a very stressful experience for the MVP candidate. After putting in all of that work only to see TCU lose in such a blowout, he probably needed to cool down a bit.
Hopefully, someone was able to get him a well-earned recovery beer.
