Luka Dončić rejects Austin Reaves’ friendship during postgame interview
"He wants to be my friend, but I'm not allowing it."
"He wants to be my friend, but I'm not allowing it."
"This move should have probably happened this summer, honestly... This trade just made no sense."
"Nico was right to trade Luka, and the Mavericks were very, very wrong to fire Nico."
"Say it with me: LSU athletic director Nico Harrison."
JJ Redick appeared to shut off his microphone during Wednesday night's ESPN broadcast before speaking to Luka Dončić on the sideline.
"You're the last guy on the roster. You should be there, show support."
"I always looked up to him, the way he approaches the game, his professionalism"
"It's AI slop that the author got wrong"
"[LeBron's] on the downside of his career."
"Why does this Devers deal feel like the Luka deal?"
"And like I said, I know I'm hurting some people's feelings today. But it's just idiotic."
The mass reaction to Charania's Dončić's news overheated his phone.
"Do you miss that spare tire that he keeps around his midsection?"
"This was not the worst trade in the history of basketball. Unless you want to flip it around and say it was a bad trade for the Lakers"
“Ant Man, Batman, Superman, Lakers in 5"
Harrison can barely explain his vision for the Mavericks as is.
"It should be a fine. I wouldn’t suspend him, but it was a dirty play."
"It's very important that guys make an effort to be social."
"I knew Luka was important to the fan base. I didn’t quite know it to what level."
"I never said anything bad about him. And I just want to move on."
"You build a Finals team and you traded the guy who led that Finals team?"
Mavs fans probably don't think it's "kinda cool" to have their franchise compared to the pre-2004 Red Sox.
The audience peaked at 2.79 million viewers.
"That’s too emotional for him. Man, he can’t take it, dog. Look, he about to cry. He’s crying! Told y’all."
