Dennis Smith Jr:
The ESPN report included other anecdotes that illustrated an abrasive, demanding culture during Carlisle’s last few seasons with the Mavericks:
The players reached a near-mutiny in 2018 that led to Carlisle giving former assistant coach Jamahl Mosley more communicative responsibility, though Carlisle came to view Mosley’s close connections with Doncic and players as a threat.
Carlisle failed to help the Mavericks’ two stars bond because he had poor relationships with Doncic — who at times shouted and cursed at Carlisle in public view during games — and Porzingis
Rookie Card:
Smith, whom the team had drafted ninth a year prior, had shown Doncic around the city and invited the new guy into his social circle. They lived in the same apartment building and had spent hours playing video games together.
If one was spotted during a Mavs road trip, chances are the other would be there too, along with young swingman Dorian Finney-Smith.

Shoes:
When Luka Doncic first signed with Jordan brand in late 2019, the NBA fashion world knew it wouldn’t be long before the young Slovenian would have Jordan merch with his name on it.
Doncic isn’t the only person employed by the Mavs to inspire a shoe.
