Critics have called Kyrie Irving a 'chaos agent' and 'locker room cancer,' now the Mavericks' guard could be the key to a deep playoff run.
Luka Doncic is 0-2 all-time against the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs.When asked earlier this week about what is the difference now heading into this showdown with LA, Doncic didn't hesitate with his answer: Kyrie Irving.On Thursday, Irving shared his awareness about how complex the narrative has become surrounding his career. He said his critics have called him a "chaos agent" and a "locker room cancer.
"Irving says he and Doncic have now created a similar ability to challenge each other during a game when the moment calls for it."I can look to Luka and be like, hey man, come on turn this up a little bit or he can be like, come on Kai. He'll say it in his language," he said. That connection wasn't immediately there for Irving and Doncic. In their second game ever playing together, they infamously failed to get a shot off in the final seconds of a three-point loss.
