On Saturday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban raised some hairs when he made rather controversial comments about young basketball players in America, saying how they are more concerned with taunting and making mixtapes than actually learning the game. Luka Doncic has since reacted.

He then suggested that America should send all of its young prospects over to Slovenia so they can become educated about the game of basketball and develop more polish.

Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes was not too fond of Cuban's comments, essentially saying that he was flat out wrong.

Obviously, Cuban was referring to Dallas rookie Luka Doncic with his statement, as Doncic is from Slovenia and appears to have a terrific knack for the game.

This season, Luka Doncic is averaging 18.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the floor, 36.7 percent from three-point range and 75.9 percent from the free-throw line.

It has been a very impressive showing for Doncic thus far, and after his solid game in a loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, he explained the main difference between basketball in Europe and basketball in the NBA:

So, basically, the only thing different is that Doncic has longer water breaks here than he did in Europe.

Awesome.

Cuban is probably going to have some explaining to do, as his statement is not being well-received throughout the league.

It's understandable that he is proud of Luka Doncic, not to mention German star Dirk Nowitzki, but he has to remember that he is owning a team full of players who came up through the American system.
