Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum or Tyrese Haliburton will win their first NBA title this year. What would a championship mean for the legacies of these young superstars?
tipped off their series inside TD Garden on Tuesday night, the 2024 NBA conference finals had already made league history.
"He's better than Dirk," Kidd said in a matter-of-fact tone during an appearance on the Mavs' flagship radio station, meaning no disrespect to his teammate from the 2010-11 championship run. You certainly can find skeptics who say Doncic will never lead Dallas to one title, much less the multiple required to join the exclusive company of Michael Jordan,and Kobe Bryant. Some rival executives, scouts, coaches and players will happily express their doubts -- as long as they're granted anonymity, because nobody wants to draw the attention of the ruthlessly competitive Doncic.
But if Edwards can deliver the Wolves' first title since their inception in 1989-90, he would not only ascend to a height greater than Garnett in Minnesota but he could cement a path toward potentially becoming the face of the NBA. Edwards isn't the complete package -- yet. But what he is adding is invaluable playoff experience, including the knowledge of what it takes to eliminate a defending champion.
After winning Game 7 at Madison Square Garden, Haliburton walked into the postgame news conference wearing a hooded sweatshirt featuring a photo of Pacers legend Reggie Miller's famous choke gesture toward Knicks superfan Spike Lee in 1994.
