Drop a video confirming this. I refuse to believe you aren’t hacked. Put your cool little leather jacket on and confirm it in video if you aren’t hacked. https://t.co/XiDHwG652i

Luka getting traded from Dallas has to have a deeper story behind it. This just doesn’t happen on a random Saturday night.
