Could Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee have known, when he sold left fielder and pitcher Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in December 1919, that people would still be talking about his decision 106 years later?

Many people have been comparing the Luka Doncic trade to the Red Sox selling Babe Ruth, a transaction that supposedly cursed the Red Sox for decades.

Before the Mavericks hosted the Lakers — and Luka Dončić — on Wednesday in Dallas for the first time since the seismic deal in early February, the Dallas head coach reflected on the trade and called it “kinda cool” that some have compared the trade to the Ruth deal that’s the starting point in the “Curse of the Bambino.”
