Luka Dončić Bids Farewell: A Heartfelt Message to Dallas Mavericks Supporters
It is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to the Dallas Mavericks organization and its incredible fans. My time with the Mavericks has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with unforgettable memories, and I am forever grateful for the love and support you have shown me throughout my journey.
Leaving Dallas is not a decision I have made lightly. The Mavericks have been my home away from home, and the bond I have forged with the city and its fans runs deep. From the moment I stepped onto the court at the American Airlines Center, I felt a connection unlike any other—a connection that transcends basketball and extends to the very fabric of the community.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mark Cuban, Rick Carlisle, and the entire Mavericks organization for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams. It has been an honor to wear the Mavericks jersey and represent this storied franchise on the court. I will always cherish the memories we created together and the lessons I learned along the way.
To my teammates, past and present, I say thank you for your camaraderie, your friendship, and your unwavering support. You have been more than just teammates; you have been like family to me, and I will carry the memories of our time together with me always. I am proud of what we accomplished as a team and the legacy we leave behind.
But most importantly, I want to thank the Mavericks fans. Your passion, your loyalty, and your unwavering support have meant the world to me. Whether cheering from the stands or following along from afar, you have been the driving force behind our success, and I am forever grateful for your dedication.
Leaving Dallas is not easy, but I am excited for the new chapter that awaits me. As I embark on this new journey, I do so with optimism and enthusiasm for what the future holds. While I may be leaving the Mavericks, I will always carry a piece of Dallas with me wherever I go.
To my new team, I promise to bring the same passion, dedication, and work ethic that I brought to Dallas. Together, we will strive for greatness and chase our dreams with unwavering determination.
In closing, I want to say thank you, Dallas. Thank you for embracing me as one of your own, for supporting me through the highs and lows, and for making my time with the Mavericks truly unforgettable. Though my journey may take me elsewhere, know that Dallas will always hold a special place in my heart.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Luka Dončić
