Luka Doncic's emotional tribute makes fans call out Nico Harrison

The Dallas Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic was one of the most shocking in NBA History. The only ones more shocked than Doncic himself, perhaps, were the Mavericks fans themselves. The Slovenian star had built a homely community in Dallas, and was an icon amongst the townsfolk. Following his trade, one particular Dallas Steakhouse put up a heartfelt tribute for Doncic.

Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse, one of the most popular joints in Dallas located at 3008 Maple Ave, was a spot that Luka Doncic often frequented. The chef, Chef Samir, was among the many Mavericks fans shaken by Doncic’s departure from the Mavericks and the town. Recently, he put up an emotional tribute for the reigning Western Conference Finals MVP.

In my 25-plus year career, I feel blessed to say I have met some interesting and incredible people who have walked through the doors of Nick & Sam’s. But it’s not often that you come across someone as special as Luka Doncic. Luka is one of the most caring, warm, and funniest guys I know. His love for Dallas shined through with every conversation and game… Luka, no matter what stage of life you’re in, I’ll always cheer you on and wish you the very best. Thank you for everything you have done for our community! Looking forward to seeing you again, friend.

The love that Doncic has received from across the NBA community, especially from the city that drafted him, has been a testament to his character. Even though Doncic spent most of his life growing up in Europe and playing basketball for Real Madrid, he took to Dallas like fish to water.

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison’s shocking decision was one that has drawn the ire of not only Luka Doncic but also sports fans across Dallas. As the tributes for Luka Doncic continue to pour in from different corners of the city, the emotions of the moment are starting to show through fans.

The love and appreciation for Luka Doncic resonated within the hearts of Mavericks fans after the heartfelt tribute by Chef Samir from Nick and Sam’s. It showed the love that fans still have for the superstar who was supposed to lead their franchise into the future. However, the animosity that has been developing amongst the fanbase towards Nico Harrison and the Mavericks front office.

At just 25 years old, Doncic has certainly been amongst the most significant basketball stars to play in Dallas, perhaps only second to Dirk Nowitzki. As the love for the Lakers’ latest superstar addition continued to grow, Doncic himself responded to the tribute by Nick and Sam’s. He dropped a heart emoji in the comments section of the post, clearly showing how much the tribute meant to him.
