Luka Doncic Pens Farewell Letter to Dallas Mavericks Fans
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic penned a heartfelt farewell letter to Mavericks fans on Sunday, hours after the team traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. The five-time All-Star and five-time First Team All-NBA guard thanked fans for their unwavering support and made no mention of the team itself.
Seven years ago, Doncic came to Dallas as a teenager to pursue his dream of playing basketball at the highest level. He wrote that he thought he would spend his career with the Mavericks and hoped to bring them a championship. He praised fans for their love and support, saying they made North Texas feel like home, even for a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time.
Doncic expressed gratitude for the support they showed him through good times and bad, including injuries and playoff runs. He thanked fans not only for sharing in his joys but also for lifting him up when he needed it most. He also expressed his appreciation for the organizations he worked with throughout the Dallas community, allowing him to contribute to their important work and join in bringing light to those who needed it.
The 25-year-old superstar expressed his excitement about the next chapter of his basketball journey, joining the Lakers to pursue another NBA championship. Doncic praised the city of Dallas and Mavs fans as “special fans” and ended his letter by saying, “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
