EuroLeague MVP and Eurobasket champion Luka Doncic is bringing more than just a European flavor in the NBA. “I am excited to play with a legend like Dirk Nowitzki, the best ever European in the NBA”, said the young star in his first official interview and when he was asked about his number, he explained that he chose “77” because he couldn’t get his favorite “7”. “I grew up watching a European player named Vasilis Spanoulis, that’s why I like to wear “7” when I am playing”, said

Powell, we needed you to be a hero. I like 7 a whole lot more than 77.

Well Airport '77 is one if Luka's favorite movies. He can quote Christopher Lee verbatim.

The worst part about Doncic picking 77 is that our font sucks and it looks like 11.

Also, Dwight Powell was 33 at Stanford. Really, he cant be moved to give up 7?

See guys... this is the problem with 'Murica today! Kid comes from overseas and hasn't done shit yet and everyone is plotting and guilt tripping an established hard worker to give up his number. Keep the number Powell! At least make him earn it. He can have the number when he beats him 1v1 in a 3 game to 15 series.

Must spread rep.
Also makes no sense to trade Powell. Jerseys are already manufactured. People have purchased #77 jerseys. Doncic seems fine with it.

In the world of basketball Doncic at age 19 has done WAAAY more shit than Powell at age 27 and probably more shit than Powell ever is going to accomplish. Powell can be happy if he is in two years still on the roster when Doncic is minimum a top-3 player on the roster.
So yeah he can have his number allready

Who gives a crap what number he wears as long as he’s good. He could run out there wearing 69 if he wanted to as long as he’s helping the team win.

I like Doncic, thought it was a quality pick. I still think we need two more parts to make this a playoff caliber team. I hear DeAndre Jordan could be a possible trade partner to Dallas. That would be a very interesting team right there.

With the #3 pick (!) in the NBA draft, the Mavs get Luka Doncic
How long before Luka is sleeved out in tats?

He's in the right city for it -- Dallas has some of the best tattoo artists in the world... Looks like he's already got a bit of a head start:
Dude liks his tats...

Yea, once he’s actually moved to Dallas and gets to explore the city I fully expect his number of tats to increase. I also expect he’ll be pretty popular around Uptown. Hopefully he doesn’t follow the path of Zeke Elliott though.

Drinking age in Spain is 18. I'm sure the dude has witnessed the insanity of Madrid club life. Luckily he's not coming to the US and suddenly going to hear the call of the club.

I’m not suggesting that. I’m just saying that he’s been part of the party scene already in Spain. The nightlife in Dallas is a lot of fun and athletes have been known to get themselves in trouble around town. I just hope that he’s one of the smart ones and keeps his nose clean. If he does he’ll be revered around town like Dirk is. If not he’ll see a lot of what Zeke Elliott has seen since he’s been in Dallas.

I still think we pick Ayton at 1, but they def go Doncic at 2. I personally would have gone with Bagley at 2, but hey, I'm not complaining.

I gotta say.. I regret making last year (of all years) the year that I finally fly out to Dallas to see a game. And two times in one year, even! :/
I'll definitely hit both Portland games this year.

Might also consider driving 90 minutes to see the Legends and Nothern Arizona Suns play if we see Brunson, Spalding, and Kostas
