I think if Luka plays the way that Luka can play and Kyrie plays like Kyrie, they have as good a chance as anybody of winning it all.” From highlighting Derrick Jones Jr.’s defence prowess and P.J. Washington’s all-around game, Mahomes divulged information in a manner that only a true Mavericks fan could.
