20-year NBA veteran has strong words on Mavs duo of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving

In a recent interview conducted by Landon Buford, veteran NBA player Jamal Crawford, who spent 20 years in the NBA, shared his thoughts on various basketball topics, including the on-court chemistry of Dallas Mavericks tandem Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Crawford expressed his admiration for Doncic, referring to him as a "special" player and comparing his court presence to that of a skilled musician.

"On the court, Luka is special. He is a musician, and he and Kyrie [Irving] will be better this year."

Last season, when Irving was traded to the Mavericks midway through the season, he and Doncic were not able to lead the team to the playoffs as many expected them to. However, Irving has shown his commitment to the Mavericks, signing a substantial three-year contract extension worth $120 million, demonstrating his dedication to the team's success.

The notion of Doncic and Irving forming a formidable partnership on the court has captivated NBA fans and analysts alike. Both players are known for their exceptional ball-handling skills, court vision, and ability to create scoring opportunities for themselves and their teammates. The prospect of them collaborating in the Dallas Mavericks' backcourt is certainly an exciting one.

"Now that they have that chemistry of working through things, obviously, pieces. So, when Luka is playing, I'm tuned in."
