Though their team fell short of the playoffs last season, it’s hard to ignore the pairing of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. Both are two of the best offensive players in the league right now, and few duos can rival their combination of self-creation skill and shot-making ability.
While some fans and experts doubt how well Irving and Doncic mesh together, many believe in their skills and see great potential in them as duo. The 2023-24 NBA season is also seen by these enthusiasts as their chance to prove the critics wrong.
Caught up in the talks about the two Mavericks stars, former NBA guard Jamal Crawford offered his two cents. While team success is still up in the air, when it comes to skill, Crawford feels no other backcourt duo in NBA history rivals Irving and Doncic.
Per Brad Townsend, The Dallas Morning News:
“You can make an argument that these two are the most skilled backcourt players to ever play together. Ever.”
