The Dallas Mavericks have not yet started their preseason campaign for 2024–2025. Fans had the chance to witness the team’s unique practice session prior to Monday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. During this session, Kyrie Irving was observed creating a play for his team.
Jason Kidd was thrilled to watch the seasoned guard shoulder his coaching duties. Before the 32-year-old dissolved the team huddle, he supported him from the sidelines.

Irving has spent 13 seasons in the league. He has the expertise to guide the Mavs players as a result. In many ways, Kai is comparable to Kidd as well. Both are classic point guards with championship experience and a great basketball IQ. Additionally, Kyrie has previously expressed interest in becoming a coach. Throughout his career, Irving has demonstrated his ability to draw plays on numerous occasions.
Regarding Irving’s progress in the forthcoming season, J-Kidd has sent a strong warning to the NBA.
