However, winning is […]

The Phoenix Suns pulled off a big win on Sunday against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, and it was thanks in large part to another dominant display from new superstar recruit Kevin Durant.

In the Philadelphia 76ers’ first matchup of the season against the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were too much for them to handle.

To say that Jalen Brunson has been a worthwhile signing for the New York Knicks would be a complete understatement at this point.

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

Luka Doncic didn’t have the greatest birthday on Tuesday night. The Dallas Mavericks guard turned 24 the same day his squad lost a 124-122 nail-biter to the visiting Indiana Pacers.

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.

The Dallas Mavericks became a much more dangerous side on the offensive end with the mid-season arrival of Kyrie Irving.
