NBA superstar Luka Doncic has been on a tear this season for the Dallas Mavericks. He has made a substantial jump in his points average from his previous season. Doncic has either maintained or improved his performance in other aspects as well. Furthermore, he is leading the NBA in points per game with 33.8 points per game in 40 games. With this, the Slovenian is in the running for the MVP race. While the Mavs fans are enjoying the heroics of Doncic, there has also been some criticism about the lack of help around the point guard.

Doncic is leading the team in four categories: points, rebounds, assists, and steals. The fans are, however, frustrated with the front office for not providing enough help for the three-time All-Star. Moreover, billionaire owner Mark Cuban is not impressed.

Mark Cuban is not a fan of the Luka Doncic mural

The criticism of the Dallas Mavericks fans reached a new height recently. Graffiti artist and Mavs fan Preston Pannek recently created a huge mural of Luka Doncic in Dallas with a “please send help” message asking for help. The mural has been going viral recently and Pannek emailed a picture of the mural to Mark Cuban. However, the billionaire owner was not happy. He reportedly felt the mural was disrespectful.

According to reports from Basketball Forever, “It’s disrespectful,” Cuban said. “But it’s your choice to do what you want. If that’s the way you want to be a fan. Go for it.”
