The NBA Finals are set. Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic vs. Jayson Tatum. Jaylen Brown vs. Kyrie Irving.
In terms of notability, this is about as star-studded a Finals the NBA could have asked for. Combined with all the drama of Irving’s return to Boston and Kristaps Porzingis’ return to Dallas, this series is chock-full of top-tier storylines.
But atop the list, yet somehow hidden amongst the brush of the off-court drama, lies the true story of the series: Doncic and Irving vs. the Celtics.
Dallas’ backcourt has been phenomenal throughout the postseason thus far.
