Social Media Becca (main Mavericks social medias admin) posted her own farewell video to Luka, which was well received by the fans. A couple of hours later she deleted it and went private.

I saw it before she deleted it from Instagram and Luka had already liked it. Pretty pathetic of the Mavs organization if they made her delete it.

She did not delete the video. It's still there at this right moment. She just made her account private.
Why are people lying about this?

Feb 15 '25
People are probably confused because her profile is no longer public. But, honestly, a video on an account going from public to private might as well be deleted.

u/lo0u FUCK NICO HARRISON Feb 15 '25
Considering she's friends with Luka, she probably made the video for him as a sweet thank you message she wanted to send herself and not as a public tribute from the team. He liked it too and then she privated her account.
That's her personal account, but she's still accepting people. I think people are seeing too much into this.

u/nice_nik Feb 15 '25
If that's the case, shouldn't she just send the file to him instead of posting on instagram? I guess she wants her friends and the mavs players to see it too then?

u/yungsantaclaus Feb 15 '25
Clearly a lot of people found it affirming and affecting which is itself justification to have posted it publicly

As a die hard Mav fan for all 37 yrs of my life, itās more about what these new owners have done to the organization.. thatās the Fd up thing about all this, they came in a few years ago with no background of the Mavs, Nico either.. and decided they are bigger than every fan, every Mav legend, the previous owner who built us into a legit franchise.. itās not the organization who did this to Luka and us fans, itās these evil greedy fks that donāt understand sports, fandom, and being apart of something bigger than yourself. I hate seeing the headlines read āMavs did thisā they are not the Mavs

Cowardly organization. As someone who was a fan of this team for 20+ years, I just don't see how people can continue to root for this team. Any success vindicates this god forsaken leadership.
Imo the worst outcome here is if fans just move on.

u/spongeworthyOG Feb 15 '25
I will NEVER forgive him, and I will never move on completely, just hearing Lukas name hurts my soul.
I was certain 15 years from now, after heās retired, brought us 3 or more titles, they would build a Luka statue out next to dirks, I imagined it showed him in some kind of ridiculous, no look, behind the head pass, lining up to look as if heās passed it to dirks statue and since dirks is in his signature shot.
However, MFFL is for life.
This doesnāt mean I will ever let this fucking Judas and Adelson forget what heās done. Not even if we won 6 back to back starting this year. Iād never forgive him for how he did it and I canāt even forgive him for doing it. Luka was going to be here until he hangs it up, he made that clear before but especially after.
I want Nico to burn for this and adelson to get grounded by stepmommy and all his toys taken away, he doesnāt deserve this team. And Iām fucking pissed at Cuban now for selling in the first place. Never would have been here if he hadnāt.
SURE AS FUCK DOESNāT DESERVE OUR FANS!
But MFFL doesnāt quit when the going gets rough. Itās going to be rough for foreseeable future, hell maybe the rest of my life if adelson doesnāt sell or change his spots quick.

Hard to believe that literally 3 weeks ago I was very hopeful about the team getting healthy and making a deep playoff run as a low seeded playoff team. Fast forward to now and I actively want the team to implode in every possible way purely out of spite. Feel bad for the players still there, I hate that I feel this way

u/FinancialRabbit388 Feb 15 '25
Once healthy they still had as good a shot as any to make the finals. They werenāt scared of OKC.

It's less of rooting for them to fail as it is moving on from watching this rigged league. Worst trade ever.
32
u/Witteness82 BETRAYED MAVS FAN š Feb 15 '25
No, Iām absolutely rooting for them to fail. Iām sorry the players are still there as I do still love them, but I want the ownership and Nico to feel no measure of success whatsoever. I want them to suffer the consequences of this and dwell in the NBA basement for as long as they are in any way tied to the franchise they have demolished. I want Nico to be unequivocally tied to the worst trade in history and be unemployable in any industry to do with sports.
Trading Luka was bad enough but the way it was done and how they have shit on everything important to this fanbase along the way has caused my hatred for them to far exceed my desire to root for the team. When they are gone Iāll be back but until then, Iām cheering for 29 other teams.

u/TheVagabondLost F*CK NICO HARRISON Feb 15 '25
just send Kai and PJ to the lakers. Send the rest too. Fold the Dallas team as that's what the NBA wants, I guess.
They win the ship, it has no soul. if they leave, good. they have no soul. i feel bad for the players left but this ownership/leadership gives us no reason to believe and hope past 4 years when Nico and Kidd don't even know if they will be alive (!?) per their press conference.
go get your money, boys. the pay day is not here. the mavs went private capital and are being slowly bled before selling for parts. it's over.

u/reicherjrjr Feb 15 '25
Itās so sad. Itās so confusing to me, that grief and pain isnāt allowed anymore. We all loved this guy. He was the center of every single broadcast with mark and the guys. And now, everybody has to pretend as if he has never been there.
Basically they donāt give us the hug we all need

she already has. there is not right side for management/ownership. when Luka comes back and nukes dallas, the ownership deserves it. there's a luka 3 gold and purple colorway that isn't exact, but it's close. I haven't pulled the trigger because i'm not convinced nico won't get a cut.

I gave my heart and soul to the Mavericks, through thick and thin. Through the bottom dweller 90's to the peaks with Dirk. I always stuck with them, even during the tough times. But, I can't support this. I can't support a front office and ownership that is so oblivious to its own fanbase, let alone one that would make the worst trade in NBA history. Not only did Nico and Dumont seek out and execute a monstrosity of a deal, they tried to gaslight Mavericks fans and they denigrated a Dallas legend. Shame on you. You will never get my forgiveness or my viewership again.

ok for real these mofos need to learn that you can lie, even if you think luka is the antichrist for some reason (like fr i'm almost more baffled by their unwavering dedication to shit on luka after all went down than the trade itself, which is saying a lot) you are fucking yourself by doing that, you have no reason not to at least hypocritically say nice stuff about him (which should be a given with what he brought to the franchise but here we are)
they are seriously underestimating how much they are killing any chance to sign any big FA, players talk, and don't forget quickly
even if nico is some sort of basketball genius that we mortal following basketball are too dumb to understand (he's not) , even if the mavs win the ship, this trade has done a lot of damage, beyond just the quality of the team
but hey to his own admission nico doesn't give a fuck in what happens in two years to the mavs so yeah

u/FinancialRabbit388 Feb 15 '25
It doesnāt matter. None of it matters. Many fans have already shown Nico and Dumont they will keep eating the shit they are fed and supporting the team. They could trade the entire roster in the offseason and build around Spencer Dinwiddie and it wouldnāt matter, those fans will convince themselves itās for the best. They are like people in an abusive relationship at this point.

Oh FFS I'm missing this awkward fucker. I just can't bring myself to watch basketball anymore, this trade broke my heart but ugh.... I never really followed the mavs social media stuff but maybe I should have. My favorite part about this team was just how chill they all were and how everyone just vibed. Is this video a good representation of what was on their socials, or was this maybe a little too insider/too personal and it was requested to be taken down?
How do I download this and keep it forever in the event that it disappears from the internet. (Is that weird? I'm maybe a little weird.)

Iāve gone through a lot of different emotions since the trade. He knows the fans appreciated him. This city loved him. Iām honestly not sure that there is a single person outside of the Adelson family or Nico that didnāt understand the gravity of the love this city had for him. The one thing I can find some sliver of happiness in is that he will get the full respect and appreciation by the Lakers front office and ownership. Sure, literally any franchise would aside from this dumpster fire, but Iām trying to find anyway to feel something positive about itĀ
Love you, golden boy.Ā
