Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis are teammates on the Dallas Mavericks after the huge trade that sent Davis to Dallas from Los Angeles in exchange for Luka Doncic. Apparently, it was a partnership years in the making.

Speaking for the first time since he exchanged superstar teammates, Irving revealed to reporters that he and Davis have been plotting to wear the same uniform for a long time— along with another fellow superstar. It turns out Irving and Davis wanted to team up with none other than Kevin Durant back in 2018. Irving went on to explain that, ideally, they all would've been on the Boston Celtics, who would manage to keep Jayson Tatum in this imaginary reality so he could grow under the tutelage of the three All-Stars.
