NBA TODAY | Doncic & Irving are most feared duo in league – Perk: Mavericks will win West champions

To or Lebron Anthony Davis they take on the Raptors Toronto has lost their last 13 games all right so the Lakers they are nine games over 500 for the first time in three years Danny these are two teams you won championships with both so dust your shoulders off who you got

Tonight I’ve been bless I’m been lucky I got the Lakers I think this is an easy one for them obviously there’s no easy night in the NBA but this is going to be 14 games lost for the Toronto Raptors in a row they’re not really playing for

Much in the Lakers every game matters I see them coming out with a little energy and fire tonight well let’s go from the 6 to the 305 the Knicks they in Miami in a huge game that will have playoff and play in implications the Knicks are the

Only they’re only a half game out from the Cales for the third seed Miami is a game out of six so Professor low who you got something about these heat every time you’re worried about the heat bam they come and sneak up on you I’m smelling a heat wind tonight don’t let

Me down heat can I do this there there it is all right from the East to the West the Clippers they’re in zck tonight to play the Kings LA sits two G GES above the Pelicans for that all important fourth seed where you get to keep home court advantage so no kawhai tonight

With right knee soreness that’s a little bit concerning Ramona who you got I am going to go with the Kings I know I don’t sound all that confident but look they home I think sometimes when people have injury news that is not so good as the Kings have

Had the last week or so they actually rally behind who they do have and so bonis and fox are still on the court they’re playing at home they know they need to win I like that all right the real answer is who you got who are you

Picking download the ESPN BET app to get started new customers received $100 in bonus bets when they placed their first Sportsbook bet with ESPN betet I never get tired of that photo Kendrick so arguably the biggest game though tonight is the Mavericks against the Warriors

That’s in the bay the Mavs they are the hottest team right now in the NBA winning 11 of 12 they have voled themselves out of the playin they are in sole possession to fifth right now the Warriors they return home after going 4- one on their five-game road trip they

Sit two games above above the Rockets who are chasing them for that last play in spot so speaking of the Mavericks and the Warriors right Luca and Kyrie theyve made a serious impression the season scoring wise the duo has combined for more points per game than any season of

The Splash Brothers which is wow pretty shocking but what really matters right when you’re talking about the Mavericks it’s the postseason right they’ve proven that they are one of the best teams since the trade deadline but how far Zack L do you think that Luca and Kyrie

Can carry this Dallas Mavericks team it all depends on the Denver avoidance scale and how long you can avoid Denver who is but the favorite in the West for yeah the Denver avoid the yic avoidance scale uh but I think they could make the Conference Finals if they avoid Denver

Until then I think they’re that good and to me their defense is really picked up and that’s the biggest change of the team Kyrie and Luca are unbelievable their chemistry is unbelievable but the center play they’re getting from Gafford and Lively over 48 minutes uh there’s the rim Defense number one after the

Trade deadline I mean like it’s they’re like one combined super super center it’s like 25 points 12 rebounds great Rim defense totally changes their team catching lobs from Luca it’s a great time being at a Dallas Mavericks center I mean and they’ve also Gotten Good perimeter defense back like and I I

Think this is the formula they had when they went to the Western Conference Finals a couple years ago against these warriors uh but they didn’t have Kyrie Irving back then and I they had Jay Brunson of course but but they had this team I think is all of a sudden sneaky

Dangerous in the Western Conference depending on their matchups because of how deep they are and because they’re playing what is sneaky dangerous I I think they match up with anybody I mean I I wouldn’t pick them in a series against Denver but I think they could

Give him a I think they can give him a series so other than Denver if they are somehow able to avoid Denver you think they could go to the Western Conference yes I mean look with the way they’re playing Clos his ey I he hit the shot

Off the backboard the other night like I’m I’m with you too on that I think they have the potential to be wherever they want to be with Kyrie and Luca but the pieces they’ve added after the deadline have definitely made a big jump for them Rim protection and PJ

Washington stretching the floor a little bit I just give him Luka and Kyrie more weapons around them to make them harder to guard I think the the the yic factor the Denver factor is the same for many teams good about even some of the younger teams Oklahoma City the

Minnesota Timberwolves unless they have to face Denver in you know the second round and this is a strange season I don’t remember the last time we had a three- team Race for the number one seed that was this close you’re not going to be able to game the seeds like you had

In the past it’s something that I cannot wait to see but I have some video that we all need to see before we head out for the day know this is not an U oh this is Iowa moments ago taking photos they have landed in Cleveland uh but

Really they are already represent your home state of Maine but you’re going to be playing college ball in Sarah’s home state of North Carolina so I want to do a little this or that with you too which one are you taken lobster rolls or North Carolina Barbecue I would take North

Carolina Barbecue personally just because I actually don’t like lobster wow is that yeah I’m taking the barbecue is that allowed in in Maine you’re not allowed to are you allowed to not like lobster is that something that’s okay um I’m not sure um I mean it’s all right

I’ll I’ll eat the lobster rolls on your behalf then who has the better beaches Maine or North Carolina North Carolina I think Maine main beaches yeah repping for repping for the home States okay which one of you is putting up the most points tonight definitely me definitely

Me we’ll see oh all right we’ll see Cooper I’m playing I’m playing I’m playing I’m playing Cooper Sarah thank you so much for joining us and good luck tonight thank you thank you so much I’m still shocked about the lobster roll thing you think they’re overrated too Zach I think Lobster’s

Overrated Lobster overrated all right this is what we can all agree on though the future of the game is really showcased in the McDonald’s All-American Game here are some of the notable players to win MVP in the NBA and WNBA it isn’t just individual success either every player listed here has also gone

On to to become a champion during their pro career so legendary track record there the Legends we thought we’d do a little top of the top high school McDonald’s allam we’re going to start with top Legends you know we need to start with Shaquille O’Neal this is in

1989 he’s running back down the court doing one of these I’m surprised he didn’t break that backboard I’m a little strong baskets for young sh and if we’re showing Shaq we have to show the late great Kobe Bryant LeBron little reversed in 2003 and then some top creativity that’s our next does

That dunk I saw that like last week I know in year 21 this is 20 years ago this was 2001 TJ for a little an1 mixtape oh wow I I love the three of you guys are just standing up here speechless I don’t think I’ve ever seen that I think
