The deal raises questions as to how the star duo will fit together. Dončić ranks 2nd in the NBA in usage rate and has been the focal point of the Mavs offense. Irving is also used to having the ball in his hands, so will be interesting to see how he adjusts playing alongside ball-dominant Dončić. by Orangutan in NBA

Yes, the Dallas Mavericks recently acquired Kyrie Irving in a trade. While Irving is a talented player and an excellent scorer, you raise a valid point about the challenges of pairing multiple primary ball-handlers on the same team. This can lead to difficulties in finding the right balance between ball distribution and scoring. However, it remains to be seen how Irving will fit in with the Mavericks, and how the team will make adjustments to accommodate his strengths

The Mavs got Kyrie? I agree that seems like not the best fit. Reminds me of the unsuccessful pairings of Chris Paul/Harden and Westbrook/Harden, in that their value is as primary ball handlers, which they can't do at the same time. At least Kyrie is an excellent spot up shooter used to playing off-ball some with Lebron

The mandate advocates were travelling, not dribbling, and they definitely need a foul called on them.

A change in the New York City Mayor’s office could pave the way for Kyrie Irving to return to the Brooklyn Nets in 2022. Mayor-elect Eric Adams plans to “revisit” the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate rules once he takes office, according to the New York Post. by Orangutan in NBA

in NYC this guy just won, a dem so no surprise, he didn't run on revisting the vaccine mandate though so it's surprising he said this, maybe he was secretly based. Though he is black and most black people don't want the vaccine so that might be why, if so though I support that.

threatened

but I thinl some nba players are woke, and I mean the legit kinda woke, like LeBron wasn't really clueless when he mentioned jew money, he knew he'd be forced to apologize too, but the damage was done, he just reached 50 million young black men and planted the seed, especially right after talking about slave owners too

moon landing hoax is not the same and not as big a deal but it is similar in that these guys are trying to get people to question narratives
