The Mavs are giving T-shirts to fans for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with the message "thank you so much" written in Slovenian to honor Dončić. The shirt is just one part of what the Mavericks have planned for Dončić's first game in Dallas as a visiting player.

Luka Doncic’s best games are half virtuoso musical performance and half vicious shark attack. The Slovenian guard knows every trick in the book, gets increasingly bloodthirsty once he has seized the advantage and has an insatiable appetite for eviscerating opponents and demoralizing road crowds.

Luka Doncic entered the court with the Los Angeles Lakers for his first game back in Dallas to cheers in an arena where draped over every seat was a T-shirt with the Slovenian phrase for thank you for everything.
