Fans go to extreme lengths to meet their idols, whether they are movie stars or sports athletes. And this story is no different. A fan gave up a steady paycheck to meet one of Luka Doncic’s teammates recently. The Dallas Mavericks stopped by a fast-food franchise ‘Raising Canes’ to sign a few autographs and a fan made sure to stop by, even if it meant that she would be fired from the job.

Luka Doncic’s teammate Christian Wood was along with the team as they had stopped by Raising Canes to do a meet and greet with fans. Wood was signing the autographs of fans when he may have had an encounter with one of his biggest admirers.

Christian Wood met his biggest fan

Christian Wood started off his career with the Philadelphia 76ers. But it wasn’t until he joined the Houston Rockets that he finally flourished as a player. He was at the center of a lot of speculation early in his career. 

Even NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal eventually took back his words once he saw Wood play. But since his move to the Mavericks, Wood is now finally coming into his game since he was moved to the starting lineup.

“Holy Sh*t This Was Fire”: NBA World in Shambles as Luka Doncic Turns on the Razzle-Dazzle vs Grizzlies

As Wood was signing autographs for fans, one lady came up to him and told him, “I got fired just for coming here.” Telling him that she got relieved of her job just to attend this event and meet Wood.

Wood made sure to fist-bump her and give her respect over it. The Nevada product couldn’t help but say, “That’s crazy.” And then he went on to continue signing autographs and jerseys for fans.

Luka Doncic finally got some help

Christian Wood had a slow start to his career. He was traded multiple times before finding his home in Houston. However, the Rockets’ front office decided to trade away Wood as they hit the reset button.

Wood was initially the team leader of the second unit on the bench even though he had what it takes to be a starter. But the injury of Maxi Kleber forced head coach Jason Kidd to make some changes to the starting lineup.

Since Wood has been moved to being a starter, the Mavericks have been on an absolute roll. The Mavericks have won their last seven games in a row and are not looking to slow down anytime soon.
