While Kyrie Irving still thinks about what could have been with LeBron James, he's content building something new with Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks.
Kyrie Irving had just routed the LA Clippers by 30 points. His Dallas Mavericks were one win away from the Western Conference semifinals. But the question made him momentarily ponder an alternate reality. Did he seriously consider reuniting with LeBron James in this very building last season? 'Everything was considered,' Irving told FOX Sports after Game 5 on Wednesday in Los Angeles, flashing a smile.
He was a younger player, so I knew of him. But I also knew he was a killer on the court. And I knew what I could expect when we were both healthy. I went in with a great belief that this could really work.' The Mavericks superstars struggled to find a rhythm last season, and the team went from making the Western Conference finals in 2022 to missing the playoffs altogether in 2023, with both Irving and Dončić struggling with injuries.
