This Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving Connection Is Why the Dallas Mavericks Are Suddenly So Good

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder as Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving led an unselfish Mavs attack with 30 assists, 11 turnovers, and zero fast break points allowed. Is Cooper Flagg already one of the best forwards in the NBA, and are Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg the most unselfish star duo in the league?

Nick Angstadt and Slightly Biased break down Cooper Flagg’s 26-point, 8-assist, 0-turnover night and Kyrie Irving’s defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They also cover Zaccharie Risacher’s rebounding and defense, Caleb Martin’s return from a thumb injury, and Morez Johnson Jr., Marcus Sasser, and Walter Clayton Jr. stepping up with Dereck Lively II, Naji Marshall, Santi Aldama, and Sergio de Larrea out. Plus, how PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, and Dusty May’s 3-point and offensive rebounding identity have the Dallas Mavericks off to a 3-2 start.
