For reasons I will never understand, people really thought that Luka Doncic would come to the NBA and be trash.
Sadly, for some people in Phoenix, Sacramento, and Atlanta, Doncic has been decidedly not trash. In fact, he has been quite good for the Dallas Mavericks this season — good enough to be worthy of All-Star votes.
In the latest All-Star voting returns, Doncic was second among Western Conference frontcourt players with 2.2 million votes — that’s more than Kevin Durant and Draymond Green combined.
Obviously, that was bound to draw the ire of some folks around DubNation — especially Durant Stans — but there’s little question that Doncic deserves all the attention he’s getting.
