The Dallas Mavericks shocked the world on February 1 by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis in one of the most high-profile trades of the last decade, as it was unexpected and because of the weight in the NBA of these two superstars. The Slovenian was shocked when he found out and the Dallas franchise was beset by its fans, outraged by this inexplicable move, who lashed out at management and threatened to break their season tickets.
Their discomfort was justified. Overnight they had lost their great idol and no one was willing to justify it. All the spotlight was on Nico Harrison, the architect of this operation and since then the official villain for the Mavericks fans. And it was then that this executive, general manager of the franchise, started a dirty war to discredit by all means the former Real Madrid player and thus justify in some way the almost suicidal movement he had provoked.

The shit fan is on
Harrison then set the shit fan in motion to try to wash his image by shitting on Luka Doncic’s, leaking to some media that the Slovenian was out of shape, overweight (he insinuated that he had arrived at preseason four kilos overweight), and that he was also lazy and did not take care of his physical condition.
Even the Mavericks’ management hinted that the wrist sprain diagnosed on November 20 was a ruse by the player and his entourage to cover up his alleged poor fitness. It was the argument used by the Slovenian to avoid traveling with his team on a five-game road trip.
And although the Lakers were eliminated early in the first round of the playoffs by the Timberwolves, Doncic’s good performance in the 28 games he played with the Los Angeles team, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 35.1 minutes per game, accentuated the Mavericks’ fans’ discontent and the feeling that their team had made a mistake in trading him.
Dallas intensifies dirty war against Luka
Maybe that’s why Nick Harrison stepped up the dirty war by leaking alleged outrages by Luka Doncic. In this regard, The Athletic published citing sources from the Dallas franchise the off-field causes that would have led them to decide to trade him: “He liked beer and hookahs. In Dallas they predict his decline in basketball, highlighting a health record that, as some see it, will probably lead to a catastrophe in the next five years,” the media outlet reported.

These were very serious accusations that irritated Doncic a lot, although he never stooped to defend himself against them publicly. A close friend did so through social networks: “You don’t perform like that if you’re a fat, drunk pig”. The player went about his business and this summer has taken extreme care of his physique sculpting a surprisingly lean body that earned him the cover of Men’s Health magazine. And a couple of weeks ago he renewed with the Lakers for three years and 165 million dollars.
Bitterness, anger and envy in Dallas
In this soap opera with his former team, it goes without saying that anything that is a reason for happiness for Doncic is one of bitterness, anger and envy for the franchise that betrayed him and that, according to the prestigious ESPN journalist Marc Spears, could reactivate the dirty war against the former Real Madrid player to try to tarnish his image again, although they will no longer be able to use the hackneyed argument of being overweight or his supposed unwillingness to work.
“In the Dallas case you heard a lot of negative things, but there are probably a lot of things that they haven’t said yet
According to Marc Spears, “I think in the Dallas case you heard a lot of negative things, but there are probably a lot of things that they haven’t said yet. There are stories that I’ve heard that they’re not telling,” said the journalist, who does not rule out that Dallas, in another fit of spite and envy at seeing Doncic physically so fine and fit, will bring out more trash to defame their ex

Tom Brady’s NFL Power Rankings: A New No. 1 Emerges After Eagles, Bills Losses
Tom Brady has said all season long that the No. 1 spot in his power rankings won't change until the defending Super Bowl champs go down. Well, the Philadelphia Eagles finally lost in Week 5, which means we have a new team at the top in the GOAT's newest top 10. In fact, there were plenty of changes in Brady's power rankings this week as the Buffalo Bills, who were the only other undefeated team entering Week 5, also lost. The Kansas City Chiefs were on the wrong end of an upset as well. "There are probably about 15 teams that deserve to be in the top 10," Brady said after a chaotic Week 5, causing him to put four new teams in his top 10. But who is No. 1?
