The Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics will go had-to-head against each other in the 2023-24 NBA Finals this season. Both sides have a strong roster, with talent and experience combined among themselves. However, Nick Wright on the First Things First show made a bold claim regarding the Boston Celtics, which would not go down well with the Celtics’ players and their fans.

On the First Things First Show, Wright claimed that even if the Celtics managed to beat the Mavs, they would not become an all-time great team. Interestingly, he has also tipped the Mavs to beat the Celtics as he is not a big fan of the current Celtics team. In addition, if the Celtics managed to win against the Mavs, it would be their 18th NBA championship, 16 years after winning back in 2008.

No no no, it would cement them as champions, it would cement them as maybe throughout the year, slightly underrated and a lot of quarters including this one, it would cement all of that. But all-time great team is such a ludicrous bridge too far.

However, the Celtics’ fans could well and truly argue over this claim made by Wright as it would see their side claiming a title after 16 long years.

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks are in the form of their life this 2023-24 NBA season. With their star players, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving performing consistently for them, the Celtics will have to be at their flying best in the NBA Finals. Also, the showdown between Celtics’ star duo Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and the Mavs’ star duo Doncic-Irving will be a cracking game to watch for fans around the world.

Nick Wright heaps huge praise on the Mavs’ Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic and his side, the Dallas Mavericks are in the NBA Finals this 2023-24 season. However, the road to the finals has been immense for Luka and Co. They defeated top teams with quality rosters to reach the finals, with Doncic outperforming almost every team he faced this season in the NBA playoffs and throughout the season. Notably, Nick Wright praised Doncic for his Game 3 performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves during the WCF Playoff Finals.

Also, Doncic and Co cruised past Timberwolves 4-1 in the WCF Playoff Finals to line up the NBA Finals contest against the Boston Celtics.

In Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Doncic and Irving had 33 points apiece. In addition, Wright has also claimed earlier that Doncic is the face of the Mavericks’ franchise. It remains to be seen who comes out on top between the Mavs and the Celtics in this season’s NBA Finals.
