Kyrie Irving<\/a>, his former Dallas Mavericks teammate, has seen it firsthand, and not just during NBA<\/a> games.

Luka Doncic\u2019s scoring frenzy leaves Kyrie Irving speechless<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic’s on-court brilliance has never been in question. The Slovenian star has had multiple scoring explosions over his six-and-a-half-year stretch with the Dallas Mavericks. But what happens during those closed-door practice runs? According to Kyrie Irving, some of Luka\u2019s most outrageous moments never even made it to the hardwood under the spotlight.Speaking on TheTylilShow via Twitch, Irving dropped a gem that set Mavericks fans buzzing, “I witnessed him give somebody 24 points in three minutes.” He added that Luka was capable of putting up monstrous numbers on any given day. He gave Irving 60, 18, 18 in practice.This wasn\u2019t just a one-time occurrence. According to Kyrie, Doncic’s practice intensity often mirrored his game-time explosiveness. He was dominating. Fans, naturally, tried to guess who was on the receiving end of that 24-point outburst, with some playfully pointing fingers at former Maverick Grant Williams, who left behind a polarizing legacy in Dallas. But only the team truly knows.What\u2019s clear, though, is how special that Irving-Doncic pairing was, even for a fleeting moment. Their chemistry, both on and off the court, was undeniable. They often referred to each other as \u201chermano,\u201d Spanish for brother. The catchy nickname was a reflection of a genuine connection that never got the full runway it deserved, especially after the surprise midseason trade that sent Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.<\/p>\n
