Controversy Surrounds Luka Doncic for Not Passing to Kyrie Irving

Luka Doncic is coming under fire on social media for his refusal to pass the ball to a wide-open Kyrie Irving. With the clock winding down at the end of the second quarter in their game against the Utah Jazz, Doncic opted to shoot a heavily contested three-pointer, instead of passing to Irving who was open.

Fan Disappointment: Doncic's Decision Sparks Backlash

NBA fans certainly did not like how selfish Doncic was here. They were rather critical of the Slovenian for not passing the ball to Kyrie. One can't believe how someone won't pass to a wide-open Irving. LeBron James is often brought up as a counterexample of someone who would have made the pass, emphasizing teamwork over individual plays.

The start of this season gave you some hope, that Doncic and Irving had figured out how to play well together. Luka's usage rate had gone down and the Mavericks were 6-2 in the first eight games that they both played in. The next nine, though, have seen four wins and five losses. The latest loss came to the Jazz here, as they blew out the Dallas Mavericks 127-90. As the team's performance fluctuates, the effectiveness of Doncic and Irving playing together remains a topic of discussion.
