In the popular segment of the show “ Gone Fishin,” the Dallas Mavericks were made the center of all jokes since they were eliminated in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs.

The segment saw Phoenix Suns veteran Charles Barkley roast a Mavericks super-fan, who had earlier taken a dig at him for not winning any championships.

This was followed by 4x NBA champion Shaquille O Neal throwing some shots at Kristraps Porzingis, who lately had expressed his displeasure towards the Mavericks franchise.

The Mavericks only had Luka Doncic as their sole offensive tool, who even suffered from nerve damage in Games 4 and 5 but was nothing but extraordinary from the field.
