Former Mavs player roots for Luka Doncic to win the finals
Fans have made their picks on which team will win the best-of-seven NBA Finals. Christian Wood, a former Dallas Maverick, posted on social media about how he's rooting for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to win the championship this year.
"I want Luka and KY to win a chip those my dawgs.. who yall got winning the finals?" Wood posted.
Wood only played for one season with the Mavs. The shooting big man spent the 2022-23 season in Dallas where he was supposed to be the third option. But his stint with the team didn't work out. Dallas missed the postseason despite trading for Irving.
Wood averaged 16.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists for the Mavs. He only had 17 starts, and the team expected him to take over the sixth-man role. The big man also shot 51.5%, including 37.6% from beyond the arc.
