Naji Marshall received an MIP vote with the Mavericks this season, well deserved after his strong improvement. 🔥

Luka Doncic's reaction on the bench after Reed Sheppard missed the free throw late in OT in Game 3 😂

“What about the Dallas Mavericks? You’ve got Cooper Flagg… Kyrie Irving is coming back…” - Brett Siegel, Clutch Scoops, per ClutchPoints on X. A potential Flagg-Kawhi-Kyrie trio could reshape Dallas into a serious Western Conference threat.

The Dallas Mavericks’ future is bright with Cooper Flagg, Ryan Nembhard, and a top draft pick on the way. A playoff return feels inevitable. 🔥

What should Dallas do? clutchpoints.com/nba/dallas-mav…

Wow, Devin Booker absolutely RIPPED the referees postgame tonight when asked about his technical foul: "It's definitely something that has to be looking it. I heard Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James [Williams] was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."

Cooper Flagg is built to win games and looks ready for the playoffs after missing it in his rookie season. Expect him to be there next year. 🔥

Klay Thompson on returning to Dallas: “That's a hard hitter. I'm not sure. I'm under contract so I do, but l've definitely learned in my time in Dallas that things can change on a dime.” Is Klay’s time in Big D coming to an end?

"I got the chance to have the ball in my hand a little bit, got a chance to come off, be on the wing. So whatever the team needs me to do, I'm going to do it." Azzi Fudd following her first practice with the Dallas Wings. (via @sixfivelando)

We are officially witnessing a "Blue Devil" takeover of the NBA 👀 For the first time in the history of the league, two rookies from the same college have averaged 18+ points per game in the same season. 🤯 Flagg has lived up to every bit of the generational hype, leading all rookies with a staggering 21.0 PPG. Meanwhile, Knueppel has turned into one of the league's most lethal sharpshooters, matching that production with 18.5 PPG of his own. Usually, when two stars leave the same school, one takes a backseat in the pros. Not these two. They aren't just the future of their respective teams they are a historic anomaly that we may never see again. One school. Two superstars. Zero precedent. The Brotherhood is officially running the league 😤

Only 2 players have had 32/7/7 seasons in NBA history 🪄🐐 Michael Jordan did it once. And Luka has done it 3 times - including this year. Sure, it's a little bit of a cherry-picked stat. But it just shows how wild Luka Doncic has been in the past few years: 2022-23 Luka: 🔥 32.4 PPG 🔥 8.6 RPG 🔥 8.0 APG 2023-24 Luka: 🔥 33.9 PPG 🔥 9.2 RPG 🔥 9.8 APG 2025-26 Luka: 🔥 33.5 PPG 🔥 7.7 RPG 🔥 8.3 APG Not to take anything away from MJ. The fact that Jordan did this in 1988-89 and put up a 32/8/8 line is wildly impressive. No one else in NBA history has done that. Usually, those who score 32 PPG aren't also snatching 7+ rebounds and dishing 7+ assists. Luka and MJ are just different. And next year, Luka will be back - and will continue his dominant run as one of the best players in the world 😤

In an exclusive with ClutchPoints, Mark Cuban exposed the league's most controversial dynamic. "The [refs] on a power trip are the ones that are the most difficult to deal with." The Maverick isn’t just watching the game, he’s auditing the power of the whistle.
