If it was Dirk Nowitzki?s turn to take Luka to a Houston Texans game, another Dallas Legend has taken his time to show Luka his appreciation of his new Jordans.
The $75 Million collaboration.
In his young career, Luka is already rubbing shoulders with the veterans of the sport to be in the list of top 15 earners of the league. His shoe deal has definitely contributed to that cause. But more than the money part, it is the element of creativity and love that one has for a brand that is reflected in this Luka-Jordan association. That dedication has motivated the Dallas Maverick legend and Champion, Shawn Marion, to show his appreciation for Luka?s Jordans. Luka has shared Shawn Marion’s post in his Instagram story.

Shawn ?The Matrix? Marion belongs to a class of elite players like Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, and Kevin Garnett with at least 16,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals, and 1,000 blocks. In 2011, Marion played 80 regular season games and 21 post-season games for the Mavericks team that won the maiden championship for Dallas. He was a four-time all-star, with a career average of 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. Despite his accomplishments, Shawn does not get mentioned or talked about in the media, like the other legends of the game. Yet, he seems to have no qualms about it.
The New Look Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks now have Grant Williams and Markieff Morris, who bring much-needed toughness to the team. Those 2 would have to play the Draymond Green role to bring an edge to the team.

With enough shooting in the team, Dallas would want their power forwards to step up their game. And they would need someone to be that all-rounder who could contribute across all categories of the game. In short, the Mavericks need their next Shawn Marion to step up to be genuine contender.
