Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving has been passed the torch as leader of the franchise. The 32-year-old point guard is getting up there in age, but nobody from his year in the NBA is better, according to Bleacher Report writer Grant Hughes.

Kyrie Irving's leadership will prove to be of the utmost importance as the Mavericks hope to earn a postseason spot.

Shortly after last weekend’s All-Star Game in San Francisco, the Mavericks guard was asked if he would consider representing Australia at the 2028 Olympic Games. Based on his answer, Irving seems optimistic about suiting up for the Boomers in the future.
