The Dallas Mavericks are picking up speed at the right point. With nine wins in their last ten games, they’ve emerged as one of the league’s most powerful teams.

With five regular-season games remaining, their outstanding performance has propelled them to fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks has a different points of view when playing against Golden State Warriors star player Stephen Curry.

During a recent interview, Kyrie Irving was asked about his strategy for playing against Stephen Curry. He is asked whether he sees Steph Curry as an actual motivation.

“I just show respect to the guys like that, he has put in a ton of work for our league he has set the bar for a lot of us point guards of where we want to be, we are still chasing his legacy. It’s just inevitable as a competitor to want to play well, and as somebody like that, he brings the best out of you, He’s gonna come in and do what Steph Curry thinks. I’ve just tried to take some of his strengths that he does well and incorporate into my game and I’m sure he’s taking things from me and we just learned from one another and that’s mutual respect.” Kyrie Irving said during that interview.
