Patrick Mahomes, the famous American football player, is very upset about the trade of Luka Doncic, the basketball star, from the Dallas Mavericks. He said that he has seen Luka’s growth up close since he was drafted in 2018.
“It’s tough,” Mahomes said during a major football event. He recalled watching Luka play with Dirk Nowitzki and how incredible it was to watch the young player evolve.
Mahomes, a Texan and Mavericks fan, was a bit confused when he heard about the trade and even posted about it on social media, showing that he shares the disappointment of many Dallas fans.
Despite his sadness, Mahomes said he continues to root for Luka and hopes he shines in Los Angeles. “I’m happy for Luka because he can chase his dream of being a champion,” Mahomes said.
The trade between the Mavericks and Lakers took everyone by surprise, especially because it involved big players like Anthony Davis, who had been playing very well. Many wondered what motivated Dallas to give up Doncic, a star who recently led the team to the NBA Finals.
To help understand the impact of the trade, DeVonta Smith, an American football player, compared the situation to a trade for Justin Jefferson, one of the best at his position, showing that the move in basketball was truly surprising.
Mahomes is living proof of how important it is to retain a great talent, having achieved a lot of success in a short time in the NFL. If Luka Doncic achieves the same in the NBA, the trade could leave a lasting impression in Dallas.
Even with Doncic gone, Mahomes said he is excited to see what comes next with the new players who have joined the Mavericks. He is hopeful about the team’s future.
