The sports community just lost one of its greatest characters, as Argentina superstar and World Cup winner Diego Maradona recently passed away of a heart attack in his home in Tigre, Buenos Aires. 

Needless to say, the news traveled across the earth in the blink of an eye and no one, not even those who weren't that fond of soccer could help but to tip their hat off to one of the greatest to ever do it.

 

That includes Dallas Mavericks' superstar Luka Doncic, as the former Real Madrid stalwart took to Twitter to pay his respects to the late 60-year-old. Moreover, he was the first of many NBA stars to mourn the passing of El Diego.
