Time and time again , I'll think of those moments . . . . like . . . "Luka Magic", or, "He Ain't No Ordinary Rookie" . . . and that will make me smile, Thank You Mark
Just came here to say that I love you guys, Mark, Brian. I will not be following the Mavs anymore and don’t care if they have success. I’ve unsubscribed from this channel, unfollowed Mavs on sports news apps, deleted Twitter because I only kept it to be up to date with the fandom. It’s been really fun but no longer.
A shit thing was done that only the smallest handful of people knew about. Don't punish all the good people working there. The organization is bigger than the shitheads that made this decision.
I wish you all the best Mark and Brian. I've supported Mavs for more than 2 decades. since we played Utah in the playoffs with Dirk, Nash and Fin. I know you all can't say your disappointment on air because y'all are not allowed to but I'm sure we all feel your pain too. But right now I can't stand the Mavericks org. It makes me sick just thinking what Nico did to the franchise specially to their fan bases.
Whenever I watch a Dallas game on League pass, I always choose the Mavs broadcast because of the play-by-play of Mark Followill. I can relate to his enthusiasm for having an exciting player (Luka) on my favorite NBA team. Luka Magic is unique and he was taken away from us #MFFL. O-M-G! This is really harsh for us die-hard Mavs fans and for Dallas Texas. Nico underestimated Luka's value to the Mavs fan base and Dallas community.
It’s not just about Luka; we understand it’s a business. But the real betrayal lies with the fans-the ones who pour everything into the team, only to watch their loyalty dismissed in favor of cold, calculated decisions. That’s a wound that doesn’t heal easily
What a sad day for the game and the people all over the world connecting with this joyful representative of Dallas, Slovenia, European Basketball and the flair of luka magic. Respect the fans and relationships created over the years. I sadly unfollow this organisation after over 25y and look forward to dirk’s second career as a tv analyst
Mavs deserve to suffer for this. Nico betrayed Luka, the team, the coaches and the fans. Idc what happens anymore and I’m out. 20yrs of being a fan is over. Idc about Basketball anymore
Feel bad that the guys have to think about PR on this one, shocking lack of empathy from the higher ups of the org and I still can't fathom how this trade was allowed to happen. I'll jump ship now before this team jumps to Las Vegas!
I just want to say this will be the last week I actively listen to Mavs realted podcasts. I was a fan since Nash, Finley, Dirk era, I didn't come here as a "Luka stan" but you dont have to be that to understand how special he is and I will never get over what went down. Best of Luck to Mark and Brian but to the Mavs I hope they realize defense isnt all that wins championships. Top 5 guys in the NBA do too.
This is the worst trade in the NBA history. This is betrayal to one of the greatest player. We picked him from the draft, he took over the torch from Dirk. We all expect Luka stay until he retire. This decision is a complete disaster. It hurts the feeling of Luka and others play around him, ruin the culture and lose the entire fanbase. No one who has a positive IQ will make this decision. Nico has a fking problem. Mavs is now a totally disgusting team, no one would want to stay with you. You should feel shame to all of us who open our heart to the team. Sending Luka away will be a start of the curse for this team.
one thing for sure for me at least. luka may haunt the mavs organization for the next 10 years, but he sure as hell wont be hauting me. ima try to be at every mavs game when he's in town to root for him to BEAT THAT ASS. ive become a Los Angeles Lukas fan.
You'll always by my favorite play by play announcer Mark. Your voice has been a part of my life for 20 years and I just can't watch NBA basketball anymore. I feel hopeless, and have to walk away in order to move on from this feeling. Thanks for everything, take dat wit you!
Nico is a snake in my opinion, i would understand and respect it if he would be just upfront and say this is a money move, that he didnt want to pay the supermax at 70mil a year - i get that.
No matter how it does or doesn’t help the team. It shows that the new management doesn’t have the fans or the team in mind. This was a silly personal, selfish cheap decision. I’ve been a Mavs fan my entire life. But it’s time for a break. Too much anger involved now.
This is a bizarre situation for a lot of fans. I didn’t know until Luka got traded that I wasn’t a Mavs fan. I started watching basketball when people started talking about this kid named Dirk who was fun to watch. That lasted a decade or two until Luka came along. Now, Luka is gone and I have zero interest in watching the Mavericks anymore. I don’t care if they win a championship with AD. I’ll be watching Luka play with LA. I thought I hated LA. Turns out I only hated LA because they made life difficult for Dirk for so long. Same with San Antonio. So long, fellas. Love y’all.
American sports are special but the idea that sports are a business in the first place is making me puke. Europe could never... we would burn the arena to the ground if something similar happend. Basketball is not a business its a passion and a way of life.
I know it’s not the hosts and analysts fault but have to unsubscribe…Dallas is loyalty, not whatever Nico is trying to pull. It was a cardinal sin…boycotting moving forward
Love you Mark but Nico betrayed Luka,he betrayed the players and he betrayed the fans. As long as he is the GM I will never buy another jersey,attend another game or watch another game. He is about to learn decisions have consequences. Luka deserved better,the players deserved better and the fans deserved better and he sold all of us out.
It will be hard to comoprehend this...imo...awful sucker punch. It doesnt make sense for almost any reason to just ship off a generational talent that loved his team, loved his fans, loved his city. it hurts. and in return we got a great player but i dont think that really helps the future of the franchise. beyond the next 2 years, im scared of receding back into mediocrity. He like us the fans was blindsided. I hope one day we can reunite with that joy of Luka Magic. Until then, hes going to kill us on the court everytime he sees white and blue.
Il mio compagno ha cercato di sorprendermi con un bagno di schiuma. È stato romantico finché non ho capito che le bolle non erano tanto "spa sensuale" quanto "schiuma party andata male". Scivoloso quando è bagnato, infatti😛

Kyrie for AD would have made more sense
That would’ve been believable from the intial news, this was crazy and Luka just bought a mansion in Dallas for 15 million
The Lakers would never have done that deal. For some reason Nico presented the Nico with their future while fucking up ours.

It's a DAMN SHAME. Nico and the new owners RUINED this team for half the fan base. so disgusting. BOYCOTT ALL SEASON
A lot of season ticket holders will definitely be selling next year.
I wouldn’t wait until next season if it’s possible

Along with Kidd and Kyrie it was deep than what it has been sold

Why would Nico f up Kyrie by trading Keef too?
I need to see the therapist, I can’t handle all the news about Luka anymore.
I know it’s not the hosts and analysts fault but have to unsubscribe…Dallas is loyalty, not whatever Nico is trying to pull. It was a cardinal sin…boycotting moving forward
it's a shame that you trade luka to make new boss's gambling legal in dallas or move the team to Vegas, shame on you!
A championship without Luka is meaningless. Nico and Adelson should leave the Mavs.
I’m done with the Mavs organization! I’m out after almost two decades!!!
I’m done with this team for good.
Luka just bought a mansion in Dallas for 15 Milvtwo weeks ago.
I love you guys but im done with the Mavericks.
Snakes! Traded the franchise player for what.
I am done with Mavs, bye
Love you Mark but Nico betrayed Luka,he betrayed the players and he betrayed the fans. As long as he is the GM I will never buy another jersey,attend another game or watch another game. He is about to learn decisions have consequences. Luka deserved better,the players deserved better and the fans deserved better and he sold all of us out.
And somehow Dwight Powell is still on the team 🤦🏾♂️
It will be hard to comoprehend this...imo...awful sucker punch.

A new DISASTROUS beginning.
The beginning of the end 😆😆

I feel bad for Mark. Love ya dude. Sorry you work for a snake organization
Goodbye and good luck
Badest Trade of all time!!!
Christie Omax and Lively are good for the future
It’s not just about Luka; we understand it’s a business. But the real betrayal lies with the fans-the ones who pour everything into the team, only to watch their loyalty dismissed in favor of cold, calculated decisions. That’s a wound that doesn’t heal easily
