    Obviously Dallas fans are enamored with Luka, as they should be, but Dirk has given Dallas sports fans something that grows rarer and rarer in pro basketball: loyalty. We Dallas fans can only hope Luka gives us near as many great years as Dirk did. Growing up and rooting for this humble superstar was an absolute pleasure.
