Nikola Jokic-Luka Doncic team-up rumors have started

During Dragic's final basketball game in the big leagues, Nowitzki shared his desire to see both Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic team up. Since he's loyal to the Dallas Mavericks, the former franchise star said he'd want to see the two stars play together in the said team.

Since then, rumors about them playing for one team have taken off. ESPN's Tim McMahon appeared on "The Hoop Collective" and discussed the possibility of the two stars on the same team.

"For many, many reasons, I would put the likelihood at extremely slim. Having said that, they're really good buddies. Like when the Nuggets come to town, Joker's over at Luka's house having dinner, vice-versa when the Mavs go to Denver," MacMahon said.

They're still at the top of their games, and fans want to see the two play together in the NBA.
