Breaking news:Jason Kidd makes a controversial statement and it causing serious issue sadly he can’t them back
Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic have been on a tear of late and they helped the Dallas Mavericks secure a spot in the playoffs on Tuesday with a 130-104 win over the Charlotte Hornets. After the game, Doncic spoke glowingly of his co-star, even going as far as to say it has been a blessing to have Irving in Dallas
Having Kyrie here has been a blessing,” Doncic said. “I always say, on the court, everybody knows what kind of player he is. Just off the court, he helps me a lot, not just me (but also) the whole team. He knows how to win the championship. He’s a very humble guy. Great guy. On the court and off the court, it’s just been a blessing to be with him
It was thought that the Mavericks were taking a huge risk when they acquired Irving from the Brooklyn Nets in 2023. The eight-time All-Star had caused some problems at his previous pitstops, but there has been nothing of that sort during his time in Dallas
Irving has been the consummate professional, with Doncic and the rest of the team routinely singing his praises. We can all see how good the 32-year-old has been on the court, with averages of 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, but he has clearly had a positive impact on the team off it as well.
The Mavericks’ gamble has certainly paid off, as of now, and Irving has helped them win 15 of their last 17 games to improve to 49-30 on the season. They are the hottest team in the NBA right now and are peaking at the right time, with the playoffs just around the corner.
Luka and Kyrie are the best duo in the NBA. Their chemistry on the court is off the charts. They complement each other so well and they genuinely like each other.”
When you consider who else is in the conversation, I don’t think it is an outlandish claim. Some of the other great duos you think of are LeBron James-Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo-Damian Lillard, Kevin Durant-Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard-Paul George, and Nikola Jokic-Jamal Murray.
