Several examples from this postseason are reasons to believe the Mavericks guard will have a bounce-back performance in the NBA Finals.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving addresses reporters after a team practice in preparation for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics on Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Boston.Their antics included customized T-shirts, expletive-laced chants, and a blow-up doll that was given Irving’s face and former jersey. It’s part of the disdain some Celtics fans feel for the point guard, who left the historic franchise after two seasons to pursue his championship aspirations in Brooklyn.
“But putting into perspective the blowup dolls and remarks that are getting said, that’s basketball. When I leave out of here and I walk around Boston, I don’t hear a lot of the things that I hear when I’m playing on the court. There’s a lot of mutual respect. There’s a lot of eye-to-eye communication that’s built on just being human, and they appreciate the things I do off the floor, as well.
