I could only guess. Nick was a former Laker so maybe it's that.
He also had quite a bit of a reputation as a malcontent when we acquired him so some Mavs fans were biased against the move when it was made. He wasn't traded from either of his first two teams on particularly good terms. He worked out pretty well for us though. He was huge in getting us past the Kings only to have a real Finals shot ruined by Ginobli taking a cheap shot on Dirk that injured him in a WCF that was looking pretty good for us until that cheap shot. I still hold a deep resentment for the Spurs for that and will always minimize and talk bad about the overrated Duncan, Parker, and especially Vaginobli
