Since Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic joined forces for the Dallas Mavericks, the team’s trajectory has seen a positive shift. Last season, the dynamic duo led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance in 13 years. Although Irving fell short against the Boston Celtics, his on-court performance became a talking point among fans.
Recently, Irving took to Twitch to livestream and revisit some of his highlights from the season, including an unforgettable lob dunk from a pass by Luka Doncic in a game against the Utah Jazz. As Irving watched the clip, he couldn’t help but express his excitement over the jaw-dropping dunk.
“I really feel like you could throw it at any point; I am going to get it like James White. You could throw the ball anywhere, and I’m going to get it. How else should I feel? Yes, I have bounced,” Irving said.
“That was a nice dunk, though. That’s probably one of the best dunks I’ve caught in the league, for sure, for sure,” he added.
Keon Ellis Names Kyrie Irving as the Toughest Player to Guard
Sacramento Kings star Keon Ellis recently revealed that Kyrie Irving is the toughest player he has had to defend on the court. During an appearance on The Deuce & Mo Podcast, Ellis shared his thoughts on what makes the Mavs star such a challenge to guard.
“Kyrie Irving is probably the toughest to guard. Because for me, I am the most worried about guarding guys who can shoot it from deep. If you can shoot the 3 at a high clip, it’s like, damn, because now I have to press up and I can’t use my wingspan,” Ellis said.

After Irving’s standout performance last season, Ellis’ claim seems more than fair, though Gilbert Arenas slammed him while comparing him with Allen Iverson. The Dallas Mavericks star averaged 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game throughout the regular season. Irving continued to shine in the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, putting up 19.8 points and 5.0 assists per game.

However, Brown’s luck in the offseason didn’t suit him well, as he was not selected for the Team USA roster in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite this, the 2024 NBA champion, who was recently praised by Grant Hill, is enjoying his free time in the offseason. He was recently spotted with a Miami Heat star player at a party.
Bam Adebayo, the center for the Miami Heat, was recently spotted on the street outside a Club with Brown. Both stars were surrounded by several photographers and reporters. Brown and Adebayo greeted each other and took photos, as seen in a video uploaded by the NBA Central on X (formerly known as Twitter).
However, Brown and Adebayo’s meeting sparked excitement among the fans, who continue to speculate that both stars will play together on the same team in the future.
One fan said, “It’s time for Jaylen Brown to come home to Miami.”

Another fan said, “The forbidden duo that would dominate the league.”

Another fan said, “Trying to find a new team cause he hates the Celtics?”
Jaylen Brown’s Dominance in the 2023-24 Season

During the 2024 playoffs, he averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 19 games.
