The American basketball player Kyrie Irving spoke after his arrival in Dallas and was happy about the cooperation with Slovenian national team member Luka Dončić .
Irving did the first practice with the new team, so he shared his impressions.
“Finally I’ll be paired with some of those scary Europeans. It’s incredible how Dončić is dominating in a way that hasn’t been seen since Larry Bird. He is constantly in the running for the MVP award. I’m not at all worried about how we’ll function together. I am ready as much as I can to take the pressure off Dončić because he wants me to be a leader next to him. Nothing is forced. I just want to play basketball and enjoy his talent and the talent of his teammates. “I want us to work together to win the title,” said Irving.
Kyrie could make his debut already in the next match against the Los Angeles Clippers, which is scheduled for February 9 at 4:00 p.m. our time.
“I want to play at a club that celebrates me, not just tolerates me and treats me in a way that doesn’t make me feel respected.” There were times in Brooklyn when I felt disrespected. I’m a hard worker; nobody talks about my work ethic; everybody only talks about what I do off the field. I wanted to change the narrative and write my own story. “In Dallas, I will focus on what I can control,” concluded the new Dallas basketball player.
