After being LeBron James' Lieutenant for four years, Kyrie Irving is today that of Luka Doncic. Author of 20 points in Game 2, with a nice 4 of 7 3-pointers, the All-Star leader played an essential role in the Mavericks' victory. Particularly with this 3-pointer in the corner to bring Dallas within two units 65 seconds from the end, on a superb pass from his friend.
And then, we know the rest with this “game winner” from this same Doncic on the head of Rudy Gobert. ” I am impressed ! » Lance Irving. “I don't use that term lightly…I think he answered a lot of criticism. When Luke arrived in the NBA, many wondered what he would become. I know some people must regret what they said…”
At 32, Irving assures us that it is a privilege to witness, from the front row, this rise to the highest summits.
“It’s incredible to see him become one of the greatest players in history” continues Irving. “And I don't take that for granted because I played with one of the greatest players of all time, arguably the greatest of all time [LeBron James]… I want to support him and continue to be by his side as he becomes one of the best players in history alongside him. I want to continue to show him the ropes, and help him stand on his own two feet. »
