Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki has opened up on the hypothetical idea of Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic playing for the same team. Nowitzki is not sure if it is going to ever happen but hailed the talismanic duo as two of the best players in the world.
Nikola Jokic averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 79 games in the previous season whereas Luka Doncic averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, and 9.2 rebounds in 70 games in 2023-24 and the Sloevnian played a key role in taking the Mavericks to the NBA finals.
Jokic recently said he has no plans of moving anywhere else as he is happy while playing for the Denver Nuggets.
“I like it here, and it’s a great organization. If Luka gets pissed off in Dallas, then he can come,” Jokic told reporters.
“I hope that would happen in Dallas,” Nowtizki said. “I’m not sure if that will ever happen, but obviously, both are two of the best players in the world, if not the best players in the world. They both have a great relationship with each other. They respect each other and like each other genuinely.”
The German added, “I’m not sure, but of course, we want Luka in Dallas as long as we can. Hopefully, he finishes his career there, but I love Jokic’s game, how he plays the game with passion, and the skill level as a big is unbelievable.”
Meanwhile, Jokic also won the Bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. The Serbian averaged 18.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in the Games.
