Given that he’s the man responsible for this whole situation, you might certainly understand why.
At least he showed up and took it on the chin.
I bet deep down he wanted to, but you have to show up at a minimum.
I also give him credit for being visible and not just watching in the back or something.
Good on him for that as well.
Given the fact that the Lakers came away with the 112-97 win, that was the first blow.
As long as you somehow win that game, for the moment, nothing else matters.
Especially if AD played great.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened.
I mean, this was a textbook Luka masterclass right in his eyeball.
As obvious a “fuck you” as you’ll ever see on a basketball court from a player.
Luka has his flaws, but the man is a killer when he’s pissed.
If his 3 ball is locked in like we saw tonight and he’s motivated, good luck.
That was the second blow.
At this point, the night couldn’t get much worse for Nico, right?
Wrong
Again, I would LOVE to know what’s going through his mind during this moment.
It’s so awkward that it almost makes me uncomfortable watching.
Then I started to think, does Nico Harrison just have a humiliation kink?
All of this shit is self inflicted.
Then, after the trade, all the Mavs have done is make things worse.
That has to be on purpose right?
We’re not kink shaming in 2025, I’m just trying to understand the process here.
Again, credit to him for taking it on the chin, but yikes.
All in all, it was a pretty weird night in Dallas.
Surely, this is just how Nico drew it up!
