FORT WORTH, Texas — Luka Doncic is 23, blessed with the footwork of a ballerina and the 3-point shot of Larry Bird. But he also has a body full of baby fat and the post-shot antics of a pouting child.
The Dallas Mavericks’ first-team NBA player is beyond what the team could have hoped for when they traded Trae Young and a first-round draft pick to acquire Doncic in the 2018 NBA draft.
He’s a top-five NBA player, and one of the few people in sports worthy of a ticket purchase.
