The 32-year-old veteran was effusive in his praise of his teammate's greatness.
Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving are the heart and soul of the Dallas Mavericks, and the duo was once again at the center of another critical playoff win on Friday night.on his team's final offensive possession of the night, burying a three over 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert to give Dallas a 109-108 lead with three seconds to go. That basket ended up being the game-winner, and the Mavericks now head home to Dallas with a commanding 2-0 Western Conference finals series lead.
"I'm amazed," Irving said of Dončić. "I don't use that word lightly either. I'm amazed just on how much time he puts on his body and how much time he puts on his craft. Also, I've been saying it but just that 'no fear mentality,' man. That confidence that he carries. He walks around with it. Of course, the awards come along with that, too and the expectations come along and I think he's answered a lot of calls.
