Dallas Mavericks Fans Stage ‘Emotional Support Luka’ Statue After Trade, Only To Realize It’s Just A Very Confused Janitor
In a heartwarming and slightly embarrassing display of fandom, the Dallas Mavericks community has gone viral after erecting what they thought was a statue of franchise legend Luka Dončić outside the American Airlines Center. The tribute featured a pointy-nosed figure with a perpetually confused expression, draped in a Slovenian flag. It took the team three hours and a very awkward press release to confirm that the statue was, in fact, local janitor Gary, who just “really wanted to be part of something” after the trade to the Lakers. “The posture was spot-on, but the mop bucket was a dead giveaway,” admitted one fan, who is now considering a career in art criticism.
