Whereas most athletes are experts in equivocating PR-speak, Draymond Green has never been afraid to let it rip.

When the Dallas Mavericks added Kyrie Irving to give Luka Doncic a co-star and a player talented enough to relieve him of some of his otherworldly offensive burden, some expected there to be a bit of an adjustment period as they try to integrate another ball-dominant player. However, the early returns on the Doncic-Irving Mavs […]

For most of his time playing for the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic has always shouldered the burden of carrying his team to a win.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is clearly disappointed with their performance on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
