Doncic is a five-time All-Star and a five-time first team All-Nba. On average is 28.1 points per game.
He was the face of Mavericks since the team bought it at the NBA draft from Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old is among the upcoming stars that are expected to be the face of the league-but not already. Because of this, the trade itself was incredibly astonishing.
Doncic thanked the fans for their support. He didn’t mention the team myself.
“Seven years ago, I came here as a teenager to realize my dream of playing basketball at the highest level,” Doncic wrote. “I thought I was going to spend my career here and so I wanted to bring you a championship. Love and support you all gave me are more than I could ever dream of. For a young child from Slovenia coming to the US, you made the north for the first time Texas feels at home.

“In good times and bad, from injuries to NBA finals, your support has never changed. Thank you not only that you have shared my joy in our best memories, but the lifting has met when I needed it most.
“To all the organizations I have worked with throughout the Dallas Community, thank you for letting me contribute to your important work and join you in bringing light to those who need it. As I start the next part of my basketball trip, I am leaving the city that will always feel as home away from home.
“Dallas is a special place, and Mavs fans are special fans.
“Thank you, from the heart.”
Doncic will now join with LeBron James and the Lakers while following another NBA championship.
