Today marks the 1-year anniversary since the Luka Doncic trade was reported.

The deal wasn’t approved until Feb. 2, but what happened 365 days ago was a night that @townbrad & I will never forget.

Check out all of our coverage in today’s special Sunday section of @SportsDayDFW.

I would have been paralyzed with writer's block with this assignment: Write a profile of the legendary @skiphol.

@sarahhepola not only pulled it off; she wrote a profile worthy of Skip. (Alas, it's paywalled, but worth the price of a @dallasnews sub.)
