Then, I got hooked on Dallas when Dirk got drafted. Luka felt like that all over again. He was about to be the face of the NBA and he was our guy.
It just doesn't feel the same anymore. In my prior post I said why I think it went down. But, you nailed it. The Mavs are an asset now. They are looked at like the Lakers were they just get great hired guns and win titles. I think I would rather see Luka go to battle than watch hired guns with no vested interest. I'll probably end up watching some Laker games because of Luka and Dorian.
I was a teenage Kings fan until the series in 2003 when the Mavs won me over
And honestly the only reason I was a Kings fan before that was born out of more of an anti-Lakers bias
can be weird for us people born in states without a single major league team in any sport
