Friday morning I received a message from my long time internet friend Ian Levy of Fansided: “I thought you might like seeing this” and a link:
“How Luka Doncic saved my life” opened on my browser but I didn’t read it immediately. Before lunch I made time and settled in to read. Ten minutes later, I’d finished Collin’s moving story and started sending it to everyone I knew. Within a few hours, Collin’s story of loss and perseverance with a hint of basketball as an anchor somehow filtered up to traditional media, then Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks twitter account, and overnight, Luka Doncic himself.
