Luka Doncic

The Dallas Mavericks have two starters in the NBA All-Star Game, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, in this year's event in Salt Lake City.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are not only Mavericks teammates, they're also starting together for Team LeBron at the All-Star Game Sunday in Salt Lake City.

After several years of letdowns, the 2023 version of the Daytona 500 was a step in the right direction in bringing the race back to its legendary status. And his chance to get the kind of contract he wants—for all the reasons they traded for him, they were at a shortage of talent around Luka Dončić; hopefully this thing goes well enough, it’s never going to be perfect with Kyrie Irving—but given what they gave up and Dallas’ track record of being willing to pay players who want to be there, I think it’s more likely than not Kyrie Irving is in Dallas.” As Wojnarowski mentioned, Irving is satisfied enough with his current contract compared to what the Brooklyn Nets were planning on giving him. A lot of that had to do with Bill Belichick’s decision to hand control of the Patriots’ offense to former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. The deciding factor in all of this is if the Steelers are willing to go all in for a Super Bowl or not. How big of a desire is it for the Steelers to bring in another wide receiver? Whether the Steelers decide to bring in Mike Evans or not, wide receiver is going to be a position that is heavily looked at in 2023. He rode in the middle of the pack for much of the afternoon and didn't take the lead until making. Pressure is going to be on this position and all of the players involved in it. With many speculations that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to look for an additional wide receiver, Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan has one guy on his mind on who he wants to bring in for the black and gold. Given the young core of talent on the roster, and its significant improvement in its rebuild, why wouldn't the Orioles want to make an effort to be competitive around that young core and make a serious push? It is with the teams that make no effort to win. According to ESPN's Matt Williams, Tatum is the first player to post games of 50 or more points in the regular season, postseason, and All-Star Game.

LeBron James and Luka Doncic are two of the best NBA players, and thanks to the All-Star Draft, they'l; team up for an exhibition game.

SALT LAKE CITY — When the NBA's Western Conference All-Stars gathered for a mock practice Saturday morning, Clippers forward Paul George had some good news.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum on Doncic and Irving as a duo: “It’s going to be scary. Kyrie and Luka put the ball in the basket better than anybody that we’ve seen, so to see how they kind of work together and use their mind is going to be fun.” Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday on how to defend Doncic and Irving together: “You have to choose who you want to guard or who’s the strongest one. And a person, he is a really good guy, a guy you can hang out with.” It’s going to be tough to guard them.” 10 on the second night of a back to back, and then by three to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Feb. Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown on how Irving will fit with Doncic: “I think the world is going to wait to see how it transpires. “Those are two of the toughest one-on-one covers in the league, and those two together present something very, very, interesting,” Haliburton said. Luka hasn’t had to do it yet, but he’s one of the highest-IQ guys in the league, so he’ll figure it out.” But those two are going to be special together. They’re going to be special together. 5 and quickly sparked the busiest and most surprising trade season in NBA history.

Luka Doncic spoke with the media after the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night. The Mavericks return to action Thursday.

The greatest players in NBA history have all had one thing in common—as their career progresses, they constantly add new dimensions to their game.

Leonard is one of the strongest players in the NBA at the time, and Doncic just moves Leonard with his body. For now, bullying the NBA at a young age is fun enough to watch. It will be interesting to see what other tricks Doncic adds to his repertoire as he gets older. The difference is they did it at a much older age, when they weren’t as athletic. The Mavericks ended up losing to the [Los Angeles Clippers](https://www.clipsnation.com), but not before we got to see the beginning of Luka Doncic, bully. Luka Doncic has done that this season, adding a wicked post game to his repertoire.

Luka Doncic enjoyed the NBA All-Star weekend and the company of his fellow basketball icons — and one particular mascot.

Damian Lillard made a half-court shot and all Doncic could do was [shake his head](https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-damian-lillards-50-footer-at-all-star-game-leaves-luka-doncic-speechless). During the 2023 game itself, though, Doncic was unable to connect on a shot from long distance. The [Dallas Mavericks](/nba/dallas-mavericks) superstar made his fourth appearance at the mid-season festivities and enjoyed the company of his fellow basketball icons — and one particular mascot.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving clowning each other on the bench during the NBA All-Star Game will have Mavs fans excited.

Both players, however, had some antics going on while they were seated on the bench, and it will surely put a smile on the face of any Mavs fan. Kyrie fell for the prank 100% and both men’s reaction to the joke is the perfectly wholesome content Dallas fans need right now. Kyrie made his presence felt during the game, while Luka was happy to [let his other teammates take over](https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-kyrie-irving-reacts-to-luka-doncics-lack-of-all-star-game-effort-with-cabo-joke).
