The Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors will begin their battle in the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night. Luka Doncic and the Mavs have been the biggest surprise in this year's NBA playoffs and want to keep their run going against Stephen Curry and the Warriors.

Before the big match, it looked like we got the sequel to the viral “Hookah Doncic” picture from the last offseason. A picture made the rounds of Doncic holding a beer at a restaurant with teammate Boban Marjanovic and assistant coach Igor Kokoskov:

The Mavs kick off the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors on Wednesday, creating some massive intrigue around the picture. A Mavs spokesperson told TMZ that the picture is not from Wednesday morning and insisted the Mavs star was in the gym getting ready for the game against the Warriors.

If this were any other player, it may be concerning to see him drinking a beer before the team's biggest playoff game in years. However, Doncic is so dominant and is so ambitious to get even better that there isn't a reason to seriously be concerned about having one drink before the game. He has been nothing short of unreal in the NBA playoffs throughout his career.

Doncic will have a very tough challenge ahead. The Warriors are a tremendous defensive team led by perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate Draymond Green and have a lot of layers to their offense. The Mavs will need big performances from players aside from their superstar.
