Blinksportsnews247According to an NBA executive, Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are the best tandem in the league and might be unbeatable throughout the playoffs.
According to an unidentified NBA official, Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks are the strongest backcourt combination in the league.
“The NBA’s best duo is Kyrie and Luka. On the court, their camaraderie is unmatched. They genuinely like one other and they complement each other so beautifully.”
The executive also asserts that Kyrie and Luka’s offensive prowess might make the Mavericks unbeatable in the postseason.
“If Dallas makes a deep run in the playoffs, I wouldn’t be shocked. In a seven-game series, I don’t see a defense stopping Luka and Kyrie.
The Mavericks are on a roll right now, having gone 16-2 in their previous 18 games, with only one defeat occurring when Doncic was not starting. They jumped up from the Play-In Tournament to have a 95% chance of finishing the season at the No. 4 or No. 5 seed, thanks to their offseason moves to acquire P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.
With a late push for the MVP award, Doncic is averaging 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists this season. With his current average of 25.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, Kyrie only needs to raise his field goal percentage by 0.4% to secure his second 50-40-90 season.
Former Mavericks player believes Luka and Kyrie need an additional elite player to complement them.
Diminish Jamal Mashburn, a former No. 4 overall choice chosen by the Mavericks, recently spoke with World and shared his thoughts on the team’s prospects for success. Even though he regards Doncic and Irving as a Hall of Fame backcourt duo, he still thinks the squad is one piece away from winning it all.
They’re not exactly a team that can win a championship, in my opinion. They have two players who should go into the Hall of Fame in the backcourt, in my opinion: Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. They certainly need to focus a little more on defense to become a real contender, but they are still one piece away from being one.
Mashburn gave a detailed explanation of the addition that was required, citing Khris Middleton as an example.
“They will need to include an additional component. Not necessarily an all-star player, but a winger who can create—not make his own shot, but create off other guys—will do just fine. Someone who is comparable to Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton, yet perhaps a slightly better defender overall.
The Mavericks, with their revamped squad, also appear to be quite competitive. Last month, they prevailed in a thrilling match against the robust Nuggets, which Kyrie sealed with a buzzer-beater.
The Mavericks, who defeated the Rockets in overtime last night, added another feather to their cap as Kyrie and Luka took them to a new level as the NBA’s finest clutch team. Despite having an easy remaining schedule, they will cap out the season with a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which will serve as their toughest pre-playoff test to determine their level of competitiveness.
