NBA 2K Acknowledges Mavs Superstar Backcourt

Kyrie Irving is arguably the most superb ball-handler of all time. The wizardry displayed in Irving's game marvels even legends of the game. On the heels of winning Handle of the Year for the NBA's regular season, Irving continued his Gandalf-esque dribbling during the 2024 postseason.

NBA 2K recently revealed a list of players with the highest ball-handling statistic, with Luka Doncic and Irving finishing in the top five.

As mentioned previously, Irving's dribble moves during the 2024 postseason set an example of how he turns it up in the most precious moments.

In Game 6 , the closeout contest in the first round vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, Irving converted on a four-point play thanks to the outstanding ball-handling skills at the expense of try-hard P.J. Tucker.

Not to be forgotten, Doncic's underrated dribbling attack won games for the Dallas Mavericks during the magical 2024 NBA Finals run. In Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, at the Target Center vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert locked on Doncic.

Still, it wasn't enough as No. 77 dribble-danced for a game-winning crossover to a step-back three-ball to win the game.

Doncic and Irving tormented Houston Rockets wing Dillon Brooks, utilizing their elite handles and play-making moves.

NBA 2K diligently observed the Mavericks' elite backcourt talents and acted accordingly. Irving is the highest-rated player with handles at 99, with Doncci finishing out the top five, tied with James Harden at 95.
