“Insane, bro. I’ve been with some of the best ever, and to see it up close is one thing, but to experience it as a teammate is a whole different world to be in because you’re watching it, and it looks so easy,” Irving said of Doncic, via Grant Afseth of Sports Illustrated. “But you know, it’s a lot of hours put in the gym for that guy—a lot of confidence and ultimately us as teammates. We just want to be there for him and support him. Like if you’re having a good night, a great night like that, man, keep feeding him, and he kept going, and we weren’t playing around tonight, so it felt good, for sure.”
