Fans on social media reacted to the possible linkup between Denver Nuggets star centre Nikola Jokic and Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic.
It has been known for a while that the two have a strong bond and it became clear once again when they both played for the West side in the recently concluded NBA All-Star game.
After the match, a reporter asked Jokic about the possibility of joining the Mavericks to play alongside his friend. He responded by saying: "I don't know. It's possible. I don't want to leave Denver. I like it there and it's a great organization, but if Luka gets pi**ed off in Dallas he can come."
Fans on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — exploded after those comments where one went on to bring it to the notice of the Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban about what Jokic said about Doncic.
Jokic has been a star performer for the Nuggets this season where he is averaging 26.1 points per game. That’s not it as he is contributing 12 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game, which is the fourth-best in the league.
On the other hand, Doncic is currently averaging 34.2 points per game which is the best in the competition. To go with that, he is also averaging 8.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.
