Despite the arrival of Kyrie Irvingby time in the franchise, Luka Doncic He is the logical leader of the Dallas Mavericks. However, no one thinks that way and even puts the former Cavaliers, Celtics and Nets player far above the Slovenian. This is the case of Kenyon Martin, who put Irving well above ’77’ on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast:
“On that shitty list (referring to the ESPN ranking) Doncic is the fourth player. In the conversation for the MVP I don’t think he is the best player of his. If you give the ball to Kyrie, Luka may not touch it. Look who he can defend…” Martin justified.
The one who was an NBA player during 15 years between Nets, Nuggets, Clippers, Knicks and Bucks, he referred to Doncic’s criticized defensive ability to also put Irving ahead, despite the fact that defense is not the controversial point guard’s strong suit either.
