Talking about the Kyrie/Luka stuff we’ve seen so far in the minutes they’ve played together. Super fun duo, and Kyrie looks really locked in.

Classic shot quality game flow (All Star Game 2014, New Orleans edition).
West lead ballooned to 18 as they broke 100 early in the third but Frank Vogel and the East closed with LeBron, Kyrie, Melo, PG, and 🚫Joakim Noah🚫 to clamp down on the easy shots and secure the win. pic.twitter.com/Nfczmud6aw – 4:44 PM

And now, after Dallas traded with the Nets for Kyrie Irving this month, Luka Doncic may have the dynamic partner he has been missing as he has tried to lift the Mavericks to their first championship since 2011. He’s slowly stepping into the spotlight, opening up about how he got to this point — and where he wants to go. “I’d rather have the championship than M.V.P.,” he said, “but if you win an M.V.P., it’s amazing, too.” -via New York Times / February 16, 2023

Alberto Angulo, a former Real Madrid player and director of the Real Madrid Academy, said in an interview in Spanish that Sasa Doncic saw it as a good development opportunity. Mirjam Poterbin, Luka’s mother, was more reluctant, he said. Doncic was wary of leaving the familiarity of his home and mulled the decision for months. “Then the last week came, I made a decision,” he said. “I just decided to.” -via New York Times / February 16, 2023
