NBA players widely regard Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving as an exceptionally difficult opponent due to his elite ball-handling and shooting skills, particularly impressive for a smaller guard, making him nearly impossible to guard effectively.

Indiana Pacers guard TJ McConnell, reflecting on the toughest player he's had to defend during the Pacers' NBA Finals run, immediately named Kyrie Irving. McConnell described the challenge of guarding Irving as being "on an island," unable to predict his moves. He emphasized Irving's "impeccable" ball-handling, calling it the greatest he's ever seen, and noted Irving's shooting ability, speed, and the significant mental toll of defending him.

Irving was performing at an All-NBA level last season before suffering an ACL tear in March against the Sacramento Kings. This injury will sideline him until at least January or February, rendering him ineligible for any awards next season. Irving did earn his ninth All-Star selection last year. The Mavericks aim to stay competitive during his absence in the first half of the season, having signed D'Angelo Russell to fill his role. However, Russell is coming off a poor season. The team's success will heavily rely on rookie Cooper Flagg contributing immediately and Anthony Davis maintaining his health.
