One of the best offensive duos in the NBA has a secret weapon that helps a lot to surprise opponents.

Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis are fluent in Spanish and use the language to communicate on the court. Both learned the language playing in the Spanish Basketball League and when they want to hide something they start talking in this code:

“Both,” Porzingis said when asked if he and Doncic talk in English or Spanish. “Sometimes, when we don’t want somebody to find out what we’re saying, then it’s Spanish. But most of the time, I’d say it’s English.”

Porzingis is slowly regaining the good form that earned him an All-Star game nomination two years ago. Doncic, the rookie of the year of last season, shows to be adapted to the speed of the game in the NBA, and more than that, he has been breaking scoring records, leading the Mavs offensive plays and is a strong candidate in the conversation for the MVP of the season.

Answering about who they’d be concerned about overhearing their English conversations, Porzingis said:

“The opposite team. Sometimes the coach.”

The Dallas Mavericks have been showing great chemistry on the court, and perhaps for this reason Coach Rick Carlisle is not concerned with understanding everything their duo says when they speak Spanish:

“They can talk and I wouldn’t know what they’re saying,” Carlisle said. “That would be great.” – Said Carlisle
