?Today I Blacked Out the Old Mural and Luka Doncic??: After Billionaire Mark Cuban?s Furious Call Out, Maverick Star?s Viral Artwork Taken Down

A recent mural of Mavericks star Luka Doncic by artist Preston Pannek in Dallas became an immediate sensation on the Internet. The artwork in Deep Ellum led to a lot of interesting chatters on social media after it portrayed Doncic holding a sign that read, “PLEASE SEND HELP.” In addition to the three-time All-Star’s picture, his epic performances this season were also in focus, including the unbelievable triple-double where Doncic scored 60 points, ten rebounds, and 21 assists against the New York Knicks a while ago. However, the mural resulted in an unexpected reaction from the billionaire Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Now, the Mavericks star’s controversial artwork has been taken down after a furious call out from Cuban.

The Mavericks owner expressed his displeasure in a recent email he sent to the artist Preston Pannek after the mural became viral across social media platforms. In the email, Cuban seemed to be offended by Doncic’s controversial mural and deemed it a ‘disrespectful’ act. After the frustrated email from Mark Cuban, a response from Doncic has led to the Dallas artist taking down his mural.
