Luka Doncic may live in Los Angeles now, but sports fandom is forever.
It seems the former Maverick was paying attention Sunday when the Cowboys got a huge come-from-behind win over the rival Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, he cheekily mentioned Dallas as he wrapped up his post-game press conference after a 108-106 Lakers win over the Jazz.
“Hey, did you see the Cowboys?” a smiling Doncic asked reporters as he stood up.

Other than the Cowboys game, Doncic had plenty of reasons to smile Sunday, putting up 33 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in a win for Los Angeles.
Doncic, who spent the first six and a half years of his career with the Dallas Mavericks, became a bonafide Dallas Cowboys fan after he moved to North Texas in 2018.
