Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said this.
In an interview with The Stephane A Smith Show on the 8th (Korea time), he said 'Serbian superstar Nikolo Jokic is intense on the court. But when he goes home after the race, he is more interested in harness racing. They take turns living their lives. It's just different. We have to accept the differences between the players of the region (East Europe). I think it's part of our mistake.
I gave the example of Jokichi. Connects with Luca Doncic.
Doncic has been a symbol of Dallas. He was a franchise star and one of the 26-year-old's best players in basketball with a promising future. However, Dallas traded Doncic.
traded Anthony Davis for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Nico Harrison, senior Dallas executive and general manager, said `Anthony Davis, the elite big man of the Airborne Division, will bring our team (Dallas) closer to winning the championship.'
Regarding Doncic, he criticized that there are no off-season weight issues, defensive problems, and the urgency of rehabilitation. It is hard to say that Harrison will arbitrarily trade a superstar like Doncic. It is speculated that Dallas' new owner Dumont is in the background. Local media said the owner of Dumont did not like Doncic's walk-esque.

Former owner Cuban clearly opposed Doncic's trade.
He introduced an episode on the 'The Stephane A Smith Show'. 'When Niko Harrison got a call about the trade, I thought he was asking me. However, General Manager Harrison said it was over, and I wouldn't have done it on the phone if it were me. He thanked me for calling him.
On the background of Doncic's trade, ESPN has already expressed concern about Doncic's durability. 'Disappointed with the negligent approach to dietary conditioning' it was reported.
Dumont also told the Dallas Morning News that `I want to create a team culture that focuses hard on winning every day. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal were the way they were.
It was a roundabout criticism of Doncic's lifestyle.
