Why Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving Are Closer to the NBA’s Best Duo Than You Think

Are Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving the best duo in the NBA after the Dallas Mavericks duo combined for 78 points against the Indiana Pacers? Where do the Mavs stars rank against the NBA’s top duos like Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown?

Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down Derek Harper’s claim that Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving are the NBA’s best duo, and what makes the pairing so dangerous with three-level scoring and late-game shot-making. They also cover Dusty May’s comments on Cooper Flagg, the Mavs’ record when Kyrie Irving plays, and whether Kyrie Irving should be called Cooper Flagg’s “sidekick.” Plus, how do Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell, Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, and Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes compare to the Mavs duo?
