ue-c-article--first-letter-highlighted\">Nowadays, it&#8217;s not all that often that professional athletes truly speak their minds and say exactly what they&#8217;re thinking, even if it&#8217;s divisive. That&#8217;s true even more so for rookies, who are just starting out in a league and don&#8217;t want to cause unnecessary distractions for their team.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Yaxel Lendeborg<\/strong> has proven to be an exception to that rule. A couple of weeks ago, the <strong>Golden State Warriors<\/strong> rookie made waves by criticizing the way <strong>Luka Doncic<\/strong> behaved during their game. It was a &#8220;<strong>Welcome to the NBA<\/strong>&#8221; moment for Lendeborg, but not in a good way: <strong>He didn&#8217;t like the way NBA players whined and complained while trying to get foul calls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">That could have rubbed Doncic and other players the wrong way, but it hit with fans, who loved hearing a pro athlete be refreshingly honest. It helps, of course, that Lendeborg is balling on the court to back up his trash talk. Saturday&#8217;s overtime win against the <strong>Orlando Magic<\/strong> was another opportunity for <strong>Lendeborg to continue building his Rookie of the Year case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-player\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption-inner\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Luka Doncic gets the last laugh after Lakers teammate confuses him with Austin Reaves<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Yaxel Lendeborg overtakes Cameron Boozer as favorite to win Rookie of the Year<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Lendeborg dropped <strong>23 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three blocks<\/strong> in the Warriors&#8217; win. <strong>Golden State has now won seven straight games<\/strong>, and Lendeborg has been a major part of that. <strong>He&#8217;s averaging 21.0\/7.1\/4.1 while shooting nearly 50% from the field<\/strong>. It&#8217;s been incredibly impressive, although this was the type of ceiling he showed at <strong>Michigan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>He&#8217;s now the odds-on favorite to win Rookie of the Year<\/strong>. There&#8217;s still plenty to go, and <strong>Cameron Boozer<\/strong> isn&#8217;t far behind at all. But Lendeborg has been every bit as advertised, and more, through the first stretch of his NBA career. And he&#8217;s doing it his way, which Doncic and others will have to get used to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"taboola-art-mid-script\" data-ue-is-premium=\"false\" data-ue-is-basic=\"true\" data-ue-is-mobile=\"false\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__tags-container\">\n<ul class=\"ue-c-article__tags\" aria-label=\"Etiquetado como:\">\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Golden State Warriors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news \" aria-label=\"Art\u00edculos relacionados\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Golden State Warriors <\/span>Jimmy Butler goes wild on sideline after Steph Curry&#8217;s viral moment against Luka and the Lakers<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Golden State Warriors <\/span>Warriors fans are losing patience with Draymond Green and question his value to Steph Curry<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Golden State Warriors <\/span>3-Point Barrage: Steph Curry\u2019s 29-Point Night Sinks Giannis and the Struggling Heat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-popular-links js-featured-links ue-c-popular-links--closed\">\n<ul class=\"list ue-c-popular-links__list hidden-content\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<li class=\"ue-c-popular-links__list-item \">NBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/basketball\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/2026\/11\/08\/yaxel-lendeborg-has-backed-up-his-luka-doncic-trash-talk-with-roty-campaign-far.html&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/e00-xlk-ue-marca-en.uecdn.es\/files\/article_main_microformat\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22\/6ada523220b83.png&#8221;] Golden State Warriors Yaxel Lendeborg has backed up his Luka Doncic trash talk with ROTY campaign so far The Golden State Warriors rookie continues his torrid pace to begin his first season in the NBA.
