Frances Tiafoe has undoubtedly showcased his skill on the tennis court, but his passion for other sports, particularly basketball, is also well-known. On Sunday, February 2, the Dallas Mavericks made a major move, trading NBA MVP candidate Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, reserve guard Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round draft pick.

Following his transfer, Dončić shared a heartfelt farewell message with Dallas fans on Instagram, writing:

"For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time, you made North Texas feel like home. In good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never changed. Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when I needed it most.”

Tiafoe later shared this post on his Instagram story, captioning it with the former Maverick star's jersey number and two fist emojis.

Dončić enjoyed immense popularity in Dallas and beyond. On top of that, his No. 77 jersey was the eighth best-seller on NBAStore.com during the first half of the season.
