The league calendar might be in the middle of the NBA Cup, but the Dallas Mavericks have another tournament to worry about.

On Monday, the Mavs participated in a playful 1-on-1 style "King of the Court" tournament, with the winner slated to take home a UFC-style belt congratulating them on their prowess, per the team's X account. Not unsurprisingly, star guard Kyrie Irving walked away victorious, and you can watch him take on his teammates—including Luka Doncic— in a video of the tourney that Dallas shared online.

This belt will definitely go great with his championship ring.

The NBA veteran made his way to Dallas in 2023, following a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. He's had a great season so far—averaging 24.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game—and has played a strong role in the Mavs' 16–8 start to the year.

The team will now have a chance to move onto the NBA Cup semifinals should they defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.
