Luka Doncic on “NBA’s best team” ahead of Mavs-Celtics finals series

The Eastern and Western Conferences have been decided and now Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals is almost upon us. The Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics go head-to-head for the title in what will be decided over a maximum of seven Games. And one of the expected stars for the Dallas team has shared his thoughts on who the best team in the league is.

Doncic highlights Celtics as number one

Speaking to the media just days before we get underway, Luka Doncic appeared keen to push the pressure over onto his Boston rivals.

“I mean, they’re the best team in the NBA,” the Slovenian said about the Celtics after coming through a convincing series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Of course, this isn’t just him playing mind games... the numbers show that Boston are top of the NBA based on the season’s records.

“They had by far the best record and they have some incredible weapons on offense and defense,” the 25-year old continued. “We’re gonna have to play really hard and amazing basketball to beat them.” He’ll also remember the regular season challenges.

Who will come out on top in the finals? Your guess is as good as mine. What we do know is either Doncic or Jayson Tatum will be spending this summer with a new ring, and pictures of them celebrating with the Larry O’Brien trophy for the first time in their careers.
