It was Superhero Day at American Airlines Center for the Dallas Mavericks Sunday afternoon game with the Portland Trail Blazers
And for the Mavericks at this moment in 2019, there is nothing closer to a real superhero than rookie Luka Doncic.
The native of Slovenia even had almost 100 of his compatriots in town from Slovenia for the occasion. They came waving Slovenia flags, wearing Mavs shirts and jerseys, and carrying signs of support for Doncic and the Mavs. They couldn’t have picked a better game as Doncic led a furious, fourth quarter comeback for a thrilling 102-101 win in truly heroic fashion.
