The American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas, Texas, witnessed a frenzy of fans who had come to watch their former star play against them. Luka Doncic went to the LA Lakers in February this year in a shocking move. Their owner, Mark Cuban, nodded his head in disbelief, claiming he did everything he could. But he could not stop the trade. However, there’s one sports legend in America who also went through the same turmoil of emotions. It’s the NFL legend, Russell Wilson. Even after showing full confidence in the Steelers, they traded him to the Giants.

The quarterback never shies away from sharing his feelings with the public. On April 9, he also tuned in to the NBA to watch the NBA star make his debut against his former team. But there was a surprise that left Doncic teary-eyed. A tribute video! It showed his breathtaking moments during the last 7 seasons.

Russell Wilson also got emotional while watching the video. He retweeted the video on X and aptly captioned it, “This was cool to see.” But the 3-word message that stole the limelight was, “Luka deserves this! @luka7doncic @NBA” That’s right. Over the years, Doncic has undeniably given many memories to the fans.

The Mavericks saw his progress: from a rookie to a lethal player. From 2020 to 2024, he was chosen into the NBA All-Star team for 5 seasons straight. That’s when he earned nicknames like The Don, Wonder Boy, Luka Magic, and El Matador. Last year was something else. He took his team into the NBA Finals while topping the team leaderboard in points, rebounds, and assists. Such a special player definitely deserves this type of special praise.

Mr. Unlimited always praises the players he feels are the best. As a leader of his team, he always makes sure to check on their well-being. That’s his special quality. And now he’s going all out on doing the same for DK Metcalf as he takes a huge step in life.

Russell Wilson and Ciara excited for DK Metcalf!

QB’s former teammate DK Metcalf played alongside Wilson in the Seahawks from 2019 to 2021. Although they aren’t together anymore, the bond is still strong. His wife, Ciara, was the one who introduced Metcalf to his future wife. And guess what? The duo clicked! Just last month, proposed to his GF Normani.

Now, he showed support to his former player as his wife Ciara told the reporter, Erin Lim Rhodes, “Whatever my girl wants, she gets. Whatever DK wants, Russ and I are going to be there for him and Normani.” It’s sweet. The bond is special and both players cherish it.

The power couple in the NFL also chatted with the receiver and his better half when he proposed. Russell Wilson’s wife, Ciara, was even more excited. She also posted a special message, “@Russell Wilson and I knew when we introed yall 3yrs ago ..love was truly in the air!”

It’s the off-season time. The quarterback is enjoying his time with the new franchise, trying to position himself as a leader. It will be worth watching where they land.
