There was a reason NBA icon Dirk Nowitzki attended the Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers game on Wednesday.
Luka Doncic, the guard for the Lakers, was playing against his old team in Dallas for the first time. LeBron James and the Mavericks won because to Doncic’s 45 points, but a photo of Nowitzki and media personality Taylor Rooks went viral on social media.

It appears that Rooks and Nowitzki, who was selected in the 1998 NBA Draft, made fun of Ja Morant’s previous in-game motions. Morant received a warning for celebrating during games by shooting guns and tossing bombs. In the video, Rooks mimics the gun motion, and Nowitzki then delivers the bombs.
