Had the Dallas Mavericks pulled off a miraculous, come-from-behind victory against the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night, the headlines might have been different. They would would have sung the praises of Luka Doncic who fell his idol, LeBron James, at the Staples Center. Instead, they were peppered with Wesley Matthew’s egregious mistake in the waning seconds of the game. There is, however, a Doncic and James story of note and it’s one that seems like it’s taken straight from a movie.
After the game, as the Mavericks sulked in defeat, Doncic did something reminiscent of a fan, groupie, or contest winner.
