Dallas Mavs Highlight with Luka Doncic & Kyrie Irving Most-Viewed Play in NBA Season
During a Dallas Mavericks win over the Utah Jazz in March, an exciting sequence between Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Derrick Jones Jr. ended up being the most viewed video on NBA social media for the 2023-24 regular season.
Out of all the exciting highlights the 2023-24 NBA regular season produced, the Dallas Mavericks provided the one that got the most views across social media.
During the Mavs' 113-97 blowout win over the Utah Jazz on March 21, there was a sequence where Luka Doncic dove on the floor to get a steal, then passed it ahead in transition to Kyrie Irving, who threw a lob pass behind him for a thunderous Derrick Jones Jr. dunk.

According to NBA PR, it was the most-viewed play of the season, as the highlight racked up 250 million views across social and digital media platforms.
That play is a microcosm of the energy and chemistry the Mavs played with over the last two months of the regular season. Dallas won 16 of its final 17 games that both Doncic and Irving played in. With a highly-anticipated first-round series against the star-studded Los Angeles Clippers set to begin on Sunday, the Mavs hope that hot streak can roll over into the playoffs.
