The Irving gift came in the form of personalized electric golf carts, each customized with player names and jersey numbers, adding a thoughtful and personal touch to the surprise. The Mavericks’ Christmas gesture unfolded at the team’s practice facility, where players were first brought together inside before being led outdoors to see the carts lined up and ready to drive. The reveal immediately drew excitement and laughter, capturing genuine reactions that reflected the group’s chemistry and camaraderie. For fans, the moment offered a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the locker room dynamic, highlighting the lighter side of a team navigating a demanding season.
The team shared the moment on its official X (formerly known as Twitter) account as the rest of the Mavs realized what their point guard had gotten for them.
“Kyrie surprised the squad with golf carts for the holidays. Yes, really 🎄
Catch us ridin’ in style this holiday season.”
Rookie Cooper Flagg stood out in the video, reacting with excitement as he tested his cart in the parking lot. Veteran Klay Thompson also appeared, joking while driving and inspecting the ride. The lighthearted reactions helped the clip gain traction, turning it into a feel-good Mavs moment during a difficult season.

Irving has not played this year due to a torn ACL suffered last March, making his injury status a frequent topic among fans. Even while sidelined, his presence continues to resonate inside the locker room. The gesture followed a community event earlier in the day, highlighting his continued engagement with both teammates and Mavericks fans.
At 10-17 and currently outside the playoff picture, the Mavericks have endured injuries and mounting pressure. Still, the moment briefly shifted the narrative, reminding fans that leadership can emerge in unexpected ways—especially during the holidays.
