Kyrie Irving spoke highly of Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic at a press conference after the big win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
To recap, the Dallas Mavericks have taken a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals series, with the Slovenian being the hero for his team. Luka Doncic finished the game with a triple-double, and the icing on the cake was his game-winning three-pointer with four seconds left.
“I am amazed. I don’t use that word lightly. I think he responded. When Luka Doncic first entered the NBA, there were questions about how he would perform. I know a few people who had to eat their words. Watching him rise and become one of the greatest of all time is incredible”, said Kyrie Irving, adding:
“I don’t take it for granted because I’ve played with some of the greatest of all time. I want to support him, to always be by his side, and let him continue to soar.”
The Dallas Mavericks now lead the series 2-0 and are in a prime position to secure a spot in the NBA Finals.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will need to win at least once in Dallas to avoid being swept.
The next game between these teams is scheduled for two days from now (Dallas Mavericks will be the host).
