I am still trying to figure out his ceiling and best comparison. Tatum 2.0?

21 seasons with one team. Over 5,000 players have played in the NBA. Nobody else played 21 years with the same team. Loyalty never fades away. Will Dirk ever be pushed from that throne?

Coop in year 2 is already a monster.

It's Luka's 9th season in the NBA and people still don't know that taunting him is like showing lasagna to Garfield. The dude literally feeds off taunts. Jaxson Hayes tries to talk trash to Luka, who then nails a step back 3-pointer.

A 50 burger from Luka. Lakers are 3-0, but you’ll still find some losers who will say “he doesn’t play defense.” One day people will look back and say it was AI.

We’re only 3 games into the new season and the rest/injury list is already looking insane. Here’s just the tip of the iceberg and we haven't even seen a full week of basketball yet: Paolo Banchero Cooper Flagg Jalen Duren LeBron James Joel Embiid Stephen Curry Kyrie Irving Draymond Green AJ Dybantsa Yves Missi I miss the times of Karl Malone. Dude played 18 years for the Jazz and missed 10 games... total.

Kyrie will naturally miss some games (rest, injury). It’s a blessing in disguise. Mavs did well trading up in the draft to get this guy. He’s fearless.

Game 3 and it already looks like we are deep into March 2027. Someone call Dirk, Devin, and JJ to suit up!

Give me 1,000 attempts and I will make that shot exactly 0 times. It's not just about the accuracy but have you ever tried throwing a basketball across full court and even hit the backcourt? That's some pretty strong shit for a fat player, eh?

NBA fandom in a nutshell. Mavs fans: Dirty foul. Nesmith should be suspended for a couple of games. Pacers fans: Common hard foul to prevent a dunk. No biggie. Other fans: Anything from bush-league foul to nothing to see here. Your call?

An OKC fans wonder why everyone hates the way their team plays. This is simply bad for the sport and frankly embarrassing.

Gafford with Luka: good Center Gafford without Luka: Trade Material Kessler with Luka: perfect FG% Luka makes EVERYONE he plays with better. That’s his real superpower which gets overlooked too often. Nobody has that combination of vision, passing, and gravity. Nobody.

What a punk... First day in the league and bitching about a superstar who just kicked your rookie ass. Classy move, bro!

As a Mavs fan, watching that first game went exactly as expected. This will be a long season with a lot of pain. 1) Coop was great. He has taken the next step. 2) Kyrie was good (especially considering it's his first real game back). 3) We have no point of attack defense. 4) We can't shoot threes. 5) We have Rez and they don't (/end sarcasm). Brace yourself for a 0-6 start, lads.

I see a lot of comments that downplay Dwight’s impact and meaning to the Mavs. That’s a sad testament to our time that we live in. Things like loyalty, professionalism, and being a team player seem to have little meaning to the casual fan. You’re a legend, Dwight! 🙏❤️

So where are all the “Kyrie is washed” experts now?

Dwight Powell with 8 assists in 13 minutes as a bench player, while the entire starting 5 of the Mavs has a combined 10 assists. Pre-season stats are nuts.

Better question is who are THEY stopping? Worst defensive backcourt in the league?
