His former teammate Luka Doncic congratulated him on winning the title with the Denver Nuggets last season. Playing as a center, Jordan pivoted a crucial role in the Nuggets’ memorable stint.

The question took Jordan by surprise, and he found it difficult to answer. To run the five, with him at the fifth spot, obviously, he presented his choices that did not include?Luka Doncic.

He says, “Okay I’mma go, me at the five, Nikola at the four, KD at the three, Kyrie at the two, and CP at the point”. It would clearly leave Luka and everyone snubbed!

The choices were indeed tough, provided the big names he played alongside. Some legendary team this is!

DeAndre Jordan’s Stint With The Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks picked Jordan with $22.9 million for one season. However, the journey did not go well, as he was often painted in a bad light. He reportedly portrayed selfish behavior towards his teammates, which did not go well with them. After only six months, they decided to part ways.

Jordan, however, did not start for the Nuggets in their opening or preseason games. This is an indication that he might have to start most of the season from the reserves. The veteran scored 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists in the Nuggets’ loss against the Clippers a week back. He was yet to start against his former team, the Lakers, in their opening NBA match.
