Crazy to…’ – Fans call out Dallas Mavericks after Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson win NBA honour

Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson have been chosen for an NBA honour, and fans think the only losers in the equation are the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson are two of the league’s premier superstars. Doncic has begun this season seemingly wanting to wrap up the MVP race as early as possible, and Brunson is the reigning Finals MVP and the ‘King of New York’. In 2026, it is now hard to imagine that the two were on the same team for four years. The Dallas Mavericks drafted both Doncic and Brunson during the 2018 NBA Draft. And now that they’re starring for two different franchises altogether, the Mavs’ mistakes continue to be pushed into the spotlight. Jalen Brunson and Luka Doncic being named NBA Player of the Week in the East and West has fans roasting the Mavericks Both Doncic and Brunson have enjoyed stellar weeks for the Lakers and Knicks respectively. Both led their teams to three wins and zero losses. Luka averaged a staggering 45.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 8.3 assists, while Jalen put up 27.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. And with the announcement that they have won Player of the Week in the Eastern and Western Conferences, NBA fans took the opportunity to make fun of the Mavs. “Dallas Mavericks punching the air right now,” one fan wrote. “Crazy to think that these two were teammates at some point. Just insane,” another fan added. “Ex-Mavericks players doing well for their teams… Nico messed up,” a third fan pointed out. “They’re like Romeo and Juliet. But instead of the Montagues and Capulets, it’s different conferences,” a different comment read. “Mavs could still have both if not for the horrendous management,” a fifth fan said. “The Dallas Mavericks are a cursed franchise, how could they fumble this?” another fan asked. For a team to draft this backcourt and somehow manage to lose both while they are still very much in their primes is truly absurd. Dallas fans may have Cooper Flagg now, but this image is a stark reminder of how good things might have been if not for some horrible decision-making by the hierarchy.
