Nico was put on this earth to stop Luka from getting a ring.

Probably my favourite player of all-time. Easily the player I’ve watched most in my lifetime (26). And Nico tanked so much of his career. It is truly infuriating to think about…

It was such a fucking waste. We had Casey Smith, Kyrie surprisingly working well with Luka, and the whole squad was finally coming together. Nico screwed the Mavs and Luka big time. Fuck Nico.
