Former NBA Superstar Calls Dallas Mavericks Player a ‘Wizard With the Basketball’

Over the course of his professional career, Irving has been selected to 8 NBA All-Star teams, won the 2014 NBA All-Star Game MVP award, and been named to the All-NBA Third Team on two occasions. In 2016, he won an NBA championship with the Cavaliers.

In his second year playing for the Mavs, Irving somehow redeemed his reputation by helping the Luka Doncic-led team go deep in the playoffs. While other teams were heavily favored to defeat them, such as Anthony Edwards’ Minnesota Timberwolves , Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets, or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas still managed to reach the NBA Finals. However, the duo of Irving and Doncic came short against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics.

Former NBA Point Guard Deron Williams Says Dallas Mavericks Star Kyrie Irving Is a Wizard With the Basketball

For as long as anyone can remember, Irving has been a human highlight machine whenever the ball is in his hands. In a video shared by PlayersTV’s official account on X, former NBA star Deron William attested to this claim and called the Mavericks star a wizard with the basketball.

During the last regular season, Irving proved his doubters wrong by averaging 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. He continued his production on the court by notching 22.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 5.1 assists to help Dallas reach the NBA Finals.

With the addition of Klay Thompson, everyone will be looking forward to how Irving will play with him and Slovenian star Luka Doncic. If his performance last season is any indication, Dallas fans won’t be disappointed at all.
