The relationship between Luka Doncic and Nico Harrison ended very badly, and there’s no way to sugarcoat it. Despite attempts to downplay the conflict, the tension between the former Mavericks star and the general manager became apparent, marking a rift that has not gone unnoticed by fans or the media.
However, the love between Luka and Dallas is still there, and despite everything that happened four months ago, the Slovenian has made no secret of his great affection for the team and its fans.
Luka Doncic’s trade created a tsunami of chaos: eBay searches skyrocketed 1,150% in a single day, and his jersey was crowned the NBA’s top seller for 2024-2025. There is no doubt that this move shook the entire league, because when the rumors started to circulate, no one could believe it.
Mavericks fans were furious with the trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to Dallas. So much so that they have not stopped pointing to Nico Harrison as the culprit for the terrible season. Not only that, they started a “Fire Nico” campaign and even chanted it at Dallas games with Harrison in the front row, embarrassing him.
Some would say that Doncic already got his revenge in the last game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, a pretty emotional game in which he carried his team with 45 points.
Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest stories, and the latest auction at Goldin Auctions is proof of that. Imagine: a one-of-a-kind jersey with the bold message “Fire Nico” signed by none other than Luka Doncic, former star of the Mavericks. It’s a stroke of genius that makes it clear the Slovenian hasn’t forgotten anything.
But that’s not all. It’s clear that beyond Doncic’s signature, this is a clear message from Dallas fans who want a change for the good of the team. They won’t stand for another bad season, and best of all, the item is highly coveted. As of Monday, the bidding had already reached $1,000, with more than 19 days left in the auction. It’s crazy.
