Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are considered one of the best backcourt duos in NBA history after leading the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals. Last season, the duo combined for an average of 59.5 points per game, leading many to believe they are at least the most talented offensive backcourt in NBA history.
On Saturday afternoon, former Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons took it a step forward, crowning Doncic and Irving, "arguably the greatest backcourt in NBA history."
