In the aftermath of this intense battle, Irving took time to share his thoughts on competing against Stephen Curry, offering genuine appreciation for his longtime peer.
The Mavericks guard’s admiration for Curry runs deep, placing him in the pantheon of the NBA’s greatest point guards alongside legends like Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas.
“I’ve gone on record saying that, that’s the guy for us as point guards, outside of Magic (Johnson) and Isaiah Thomas, Steph has etched himself as one of the most legendary players of all-time. For me, that’s me just testing my game against him… When you go against the best of the best you want to play well,” Irving remarked.
