  1. Exhibit 01no flair
    Lou Dort tries to hurt people. Over and over. The league does nothing, so, somebody needs to solve that problem.

  3. Exhibit 03SAC flair
    Dort such a little pussy he never confronts the person he tried to hurt. He always runs away, ignore, look to the refs. A real ass bitch 
    Post · Nikola Jokic on the Lu Dort flagrant foul: "Unnecessary move, and a necessary reaction. There is no such thing — I think there's not supposed to be those things on a basketball floor. So it was just an unnecessary move and a necessary reaction by me."▲ 2,079Feb 28, 2026Source ↗
