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 star Kenyon Martin Sr. now offered a very controversial take. Martin said that Kyrie Irving is a better player than the Slovenian superstar.
“He’s in the MVP conversation, and in my opinion, I don’t think he’s the best player on his basketball team.”
