Kyrie is a good dude the media just dont like him because hes not a follower and thats what gets people so mad
Yep . Not because he gets paid for not showing up to work . Voice of the voiceless . I'm sure it has nothing to do with accountability. I'm sure you're not required to show up to work but can collect your check whenever you damn well please. Yep its the media.
@@claymorekwaramba6937 bro he worked hard to be in the nba so he can do that
@@jaypc6680 my problem with him is he acts like he was taking a stand by not getting the vaccine but really he was just not going to work and still getting paid 😂 voice of the voiceless my ass
@@jaypc6680 you sound IGNORANT. Your job requires you to show up to wk. Just like everyone else. That's why his GM said we want players who want to be here and can be dependable to be available. But you already knew that though .

“ When you start believing what other people say about you, you become a shell of yourself.” Kyrie 💯 Deep Thoughts

This is pretty damn narcissistic. This is basically saying I can’t and won’t hold myself accountable and I won’t listen to wut anyone says about me even if what I did is morally wrong.
@@trenhen4311 what did he do that is morally wrong?
@@xuanhieulanpham904 “this is basically saying” I was making an example of that statement. I get wut u mean yk don’t let ppl bring u down but if ppl call u out for doing something wrong and u just don’t care. Ur not gonna have many friends.

Hands down Kyrie is one of the most authentic, honest examples of what it means to know one's true self, being self-aware without becoming self-absorbed which sadly quite often happens to "celebrities" and sports stars. To put it plainly, he's unapologetically the man Kyrie has chosen to be. Much respect, Mr. Kyrie Irving.
This is the best interview I’ve seen with Kyrie. Felt like a true sit down rather than media propaganda. Respect ✊
Facts but my son shady fat now 😔
Why are people acting like it's just the media's fault that Kyrie is seen the way he is? Kobe was loved for a reason. It isn't so mysterious why Kyrie gets hate, look at the way he carries himself.
@@VeritableVagabond kobe was hated at one point too. very badly
@@VeritableVagabond Kobe have one mvp because the media really hated him for a long time
@@VeritableVagabond kobe wasn’t loved for most of his career, he was hated from the start
I be watching Kyrie on twitch. Love my guy Kyrie. He's misunderstood because he's different by being himself & believing in what he believes in. Society wants you to conform to what they are doing. Keep doing you Kyrie.
Fuck all that. Since he can't show up to work like everybody else he needs to be released from the nba
Well said
He’s not misunderstood 😂 he’s a rich entitled spoiled brat who thinks he’s smarter than he is.
What’s his twitch
But he also says some pretty dumb stuff... and that's just being real.... we don't need a coach... loses 4-0 in the playoffs
It’s actually a shame that people keep having to say Kyrie is different. He is a black man who has gained knowledge of self. Far more of us SHOULD be vested in knowing our history, being proud of who we are, and interested in working together to better our community (and others eventually).
Fax fax
Because we should is why he different because he actually did it
@@hpg8477 He is DOING it. Nothing is done. The mission is infinite. Even when we transition, more life occurs. He is in fact different. I hope we all can become more different, by uniting with the same purpose. Uplifting our black communities while understanding our identities & the history that was lived before us. Asè my brothers 🙏🏾
💯
People grieve differently. Kyrie can leave his teammates hanging, hate Jews, and believe in anti-science. If Kobe were still around maybe he wouldn't have gotten off the path.
I like this version of Kyrie, confident, but humble at the same time. Not a defensive demeanor, just casually talking. Taking ownership but also letting you know his mindset which is understandable. Basketball is a different topic lol
It's who Interviewing him and they energy
kehlani ivring is soft
@Bala Chow players today are soft
@@mikewilliams9069 players today just have a better and healthier heart
@@mikewilliams9069And MJ has no friends.
I needed this video. I’ve been dealing with the worst hurt and pain I could ever imagine, it’s been one week since my big brother committed suicide, damn, that was hella hard to say, on everything I love, pain ain’t even the word, my mother is sick and just got out the hospital one day before that and being strong when you have no strength is hella hard, damn, if y’all got someone close to y’all that’s going thru it, man, get to them and talk to them, even if you can’t imagine them doing something like that, even if they’re the strongest men in your family, you just never know, and now shit is beyond fkd up, this positive video helped me try and find peace.
You got this I love you and stay strong life will get better for you just trust and believe 🙏🏽
Stay strong pray and see it through
May God bless you and give you closure, both of my best friends did the same thing. So I know its hard. But each day will get better slowly but surely
Life is hard man, stay praying to God for guidance, peace, and strength.
Praying for you and your family bro 🙏🏾 stay strong 💪🏾
This was possibly the best IAA interview. Kyrie has my respect. He's "A hell of a man!" 😉
I wish Kyrie Irving actually learnt something from Kobe's work ethic: Play the games you are paid millions to play instead of missing games whenever you feel like it.
@@YourSweetPotato man shut up go watch Luca or something
@@YourSweetPotato he wasn’t playing because of the mandate great reason
@@jaybandz9479 exactly
@@YourSweetPotato imagine thinking you’re in a position to determine if someone learned something or not, without even knowing them🤦🏾♂️
One of the best interviews y’all had. Kyrie mentality is what makes him such a great human. Basketball is a job and he is great at it but using that platform to do what he does is the real greatness. Salute. Solace.
he doesnt do his job properly. otherwise yes, he is good.
@@paajithillai your nobody and don’t make nearly enough as him to tell him how do his job
@@yoookhari-1478 do you know that he earns because of us? i am a big kyrie fan and got fed up last 2 years. i can tell him as a fan.
Using your job as a platform to inspire others to succeed is fufilling.
Muhammad Ali used his boxing platform to inspire the world and teach others to connect to one another as a Muslim and truly teaching good character to the world as stated in the beautiful religion of Islam That’s real success.
Cryrie Irving is a diva and a LOSER
The thing that resonates with me the most is when he said it took him 6 years to get to a point where he was comfortable talking about his decision and that it mad him question it because he started listening to other ppl. I felt that cause I've been there myself
Anthony T. Browder changed my life by reading his book and after my mother passed when I was 16 and locked up on rikers island for 13 months I came home changed my life got my GED went to school for 4 years and became a professional basketballer overseas for 4 years . That mental alignment is everything ! Shout out Kyrie Irving the God ! 💯🖤🙏🏽🏀

This might have been the greatest thing Kyrie has done to recoup his image. Incredibly engaging and open conversation.
Nothing wrong with kyrie image smh
@@seonwallace Lool
You never have to recoup your image if it was never lost...
@@seonwallace Right.. His image is crafted by the media we don't really know him
Well the thing is. Most folks perception of Kyrie comes from a false narrative media members like Stephen A Smith have attempted to build. Kyrie hasn’t hurt anyone , disrespected anyone , and they’ve tried to place this negative cloud over him which he has constantly made into his sunshine. The media has tried to force Kyrie One way by driving opinions another way. But he gets the upmost respect for not folding. Nothing is wrong with his image at all.
Kyrie is honest and being real , holding himself accountable. Mad respect 👊🏾
What is accountability, he ruins our season then says I'm accountable. Sry bruh that don't cut it!!

What I appreciate most about Kyrie is he's willing to learn and grow. What I dislike is the media painting him as selfish and ignorant.

Monumental interview, Kyrie Irving uses his platform with purpose and intent. Such a smooth and open episode
Kyrie is a man trying to figure it all out. I can always respect a MAN who can admit his mistakes and learn from them,especially when the world is watching. Well done!
Bro i would love to see an interview with Derrick Rose after this. He deserves to tell his story.
Hell yes!
Damn Yes!!!!
Read his book if you haven’t ! It’s amazing 💕
I would love that too 💯💙 i wanna hear it from him
D Rose don't know how to express himself.
Love this episode. Being a BIG KOBE fan, I was tuned in to his recollections. And how he’s still healing. Great show!!
Time?
@@Beverabrooks8 47:15
samee. was sad seeing him talk about it cuz u can tell how much kobe meant to him. kobe meant a lot to me and i never met the guy 🤣
"I helped cement his legacy by having someone be successful at the highest level by actually LISTENING" The best quote I've heard someone speak of Kobe no bias channel review.
That smile Kyrie keep doing when asked questions is him reminiscing..going back to that time makes us smile..if the memories are good I guess..it's like u relive it..my great grandfather used to smile when I was a child and I questioned him and my grandmother as they told stories from back in the day..he was blind so this always intrigued me cuz they would light up..it's a storytelling thing..I remember thinking I want to grow up to do this!
Nah it’s thinking of a lie
Watching this made me look at life differently. Us people always look up to other idols on social media and other platforms when we should be searching for ourselves and what makes us unique in this world.
🙌🙌🙌
“The work has already been done for us in the past. Our ancestors left a lot of wisdom for us to pick up on”
“We don’t have to recreate the Will, but we damn sure gotta unify” out of everything i heard in this interview the most important was UNIFY. And that my brothers n sisters is the key for us to gain our rightful position back. UNITY.
this guy really defines being a human and I’m grateful to have grown up watching Kyrie from a fan’s perspective. Watching him coming into his own as a person and not just an athlete is inspiring truthfully.
that being said…
I’ll never forget being a young teen watching him all alone as a rookie on the cavs. It was like Kyrie vs the world every time he touched the ball. Poetry in motion. To this day his play style ascends beyond basketball and is truly an art form on its own.
ups, downs, hard work, and realness… nothing more u can ask from a person.
Kyrie Irving is on a whole other level mentally and spiritually. As a young man, he is more mature than many of his peers. I wish him the best on his journey.
Exactly

He worships Satan lmao y’all just idol worshipers

Watching this, just makes me appreciate Kyrie even more as human, a player, and business man. He has always been one of the athletes that has consistently grown over the years since the beginning of his career. Big RESPECT 🤛
I don’t do sports, I could care less about it. But to see black men come together to talk, understand and support each other, warms my heart. And I’m proud to say I’m from Newark New Jersey.
Stop treating Black people like special ed kids. Celebrating every little thing we do lol. White people have civil conversations all the time. It's just another Sunday. There's is nothing inspiring about having conversations like civilized adults. I guess when you've been conditioned by ghetto gang gang violence and grudges, this would seem like something monumental in comparison.
Really enjoyed this. Kyrie is such an honest and extremely smart man. Much respect.

Good analysis.
One of the best interviews. That sage slowed Brandon down and let Kyrie talk.

One of the most intelligent and interesting people in sports. He’s gonna transcend sports.
Agreed
intelligent? what?
How? He rarely play

This Kyrie interview needs to be watched by every young indigenous or derived young indigenous young man. People don’t realize the mistakes we make are repeated from lineage as he said. We all walk around not knowing who we are, where we come from, and what has been sacrificed for us to have what we have. When he said “I didn’t know who I was” I felt that to my core. Black men I hope you find yourself out there.
I wish Kyrie Irving actually learnt something from Kobe's work ethic: Play the games you are paid to play instead of missing games whenever you feel like it.
Black men are not indigeous to the US, lmao.
@@nikolavideomaker some would argue differently my brotha
We are West Africans with a long linage of warriors,its too bad so many blacks are shinning away from their West African royal genes and claiming to be anything else that isnt African,yes i understand some are really native to this land,but a vast majority of us are West Africans with a lil of slave masters rape blood.
no athlete makes as many excuses as kyrie for his selfish behavior
This show is exactly why having our own platform is important and I swear Iam Athlete gets it and Brandon Marshall is and have been ahead of the curb and he deserves his flowers 💐 and that brother Shady if he chooses to can be the best journalist for the culture because he covers all ground for almost every viewer to understand and shouts to Kyrie for constant insight double salute to those brothers for this episode
I have never seen Kyrie so open in an interview, or more of a conversation, this made me gain more respect towards Ky.
I love that these black athletes are taking the stage and creating a platform for other voices to be heard. I’m here for it and it’s all interesting to hear.
Lmfao how about listen to some black people who have platforms that aren't athletes many exist buddy stop w that bs
@@thechosenone8886 you clearly don’t understand where I’m coming from. I’m talking about black male athletes who suffers from mental health and aren’t able to be open about things.
I listen to plenty black people and athletes on their podcasts.. Why do people act like black voices are never heard?
I wish these POC podcasts would interview some whites too
This dude Kyrie is a waaay more grounded than the media makes him out to be. Smh Can’t believe anything except from the horses mouth these days. He’s just his own man, gotta respect that.
It’s crazy how the media can make or break a athletes carrier and it doesn’t phase them. Reporters can make a fan favorite athlete a villain in a matter of seconds.
Weapons of mass deception
yea if people believe and go with everything the media says then yea they will be a villian but people that are smart and dont give a fuck will already know better😂
They really can’t tho they can add to the fire and nitpick but it all starts with the players actions
What Kobe was to Kyrie was what Jordan was to Kobe. Mentor passing the torch to the next hungry and ready to learn student. Crazy how Kyrie was talking to Kobe about a 1v1 when Kobe was always asking Jordan to lace it up with him for a 1v1. They all have that trying to get better every single day mentality and killer instinct. Rip Kobe man you will be forever missed ❤️❤️
I knooooow!!!! I truly felt that love! Rest well Kobe & Gigi 🙏🏾
That not true
Kyrie Kobe
The irony of it is that Kyrie is the antithesis of Kobe. You never saw Kobe not showing up to games, missing weeks for "personal" reasons, not giving it his all for the game that he loved so much. You see that with Kyrie.
No killer instinct in Kyrie. He's great don't get me wrong but Kobe was a menace on that court and maybe kyrie will get there one day.
Watching this enforced my belief in myself and the journey I’m on as a human being & as an artist. Very inspiring.
Brandon I am so proud of you and the IAA brand that you have built. Keep your head up! You have literally changed the game with your gyms and this podcast. Things may not have gone exactly as planned but you are learning and growing before our eyes. Keep going!
Yeah definitely not, he better watch he who be tryna call out 🤣 shit can backfire way faster then he could ever anticipate
Powerful conversation. I love to see brothers have much needed conversations with respect and genuine love for one another. 💪🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
Yes my fellow Gemini this show is still dope but because the critics keep bashing this show, but it has potential if all egos are humbled

@@GemStar1124 all facts 💯
Gemini season is approaching us
This what we wanted to know since he left Cleveland this is prolly one of the best interviews of the year by far
This might have been one of my favorite episodes. Kyrie is his own person and I love the way he Carries hisself. This episode made me think so much about life. 💯💯
This was one of the best episodes. I have not picked up my work laptop since I started watching this video. The sit-down was knowledgable, deep, connective, and covered a diverse range of subjects. I have never felt like I was AT WITNESS of an interview before, but this one definitely made me feel like that. This interview felt like a deep conversation that needed to be had and you all delivered wholeheartedly. Thank you brothers
With all the speculation and demonization from the media against Kyrie, I will always support Kyrie. Always have, always will. He’s a good dude on and off the court.
True
facts
Listening to Kyrie explain his motivation for parting ways from Cleveland is a perfect example of why we shouldn't lean on filtered, narrative-driven media outlets for our news...his explanation was vastly different from how it was portrayed.
There are two sides to every story
@@Sequel7 actually three sides. His, the media’s, and the truth
@@dflojr1 more like his and the drama he put through with the Cavs, nets and Boston organization. Should a guy like him get paid 36 million for playing 29 games this season?
@@Sequel7 In Short…. YES!!!
I dont really know why he decided to do interview this week and talk about Lebron praising him this much ( I am not saying he should, it is just that he hardly did before). Is it because there were talks about the nets not signing him or offering him the max? Or imposing him what to do or not to do in the next contract?
I found strange that they didnt ask him about his stand on vaccine (I am pro choice), as well.
And talking about nike this long while it was reported this week that nike is not planning to renew the contract him...
Powerful interview. Big salute to Kyrie. Glad to see his evolution as a man. Thanks for giving a salute to Anthony "Tony" Browder. He definitely changed my life through his books and his tour in DC called "Egypt on the Potomac" Highly recommend his books and tours. I will also recommend "From the Browder File: 22 Essays on the African American Experience (From the Browder File Series)" This book will change everyone's life.
Super humbling to here Kyrie talking about being Native American. As an enrolled Oglala Lakota Sioux member a lot of the stories you hear Kyrie tell, most people don’t know anything about Native Culture. As simple as smudging might seem it is very spiritual and hearing Kyrie talk about it in the mainstream media is really inspiring to hear. Thank you for this podcast truthfully.

@@gabelincoln3608 false.. give it a rest
@@isaiahm9559 nah they are racist. Look what they try to do to a guy who helped the black community more than they have
@newmoor_world Native American would be the race while our tribe would be our nationality.
@newmoor_world tribes wouldnt be represented at the UN but there are native americans that represent the US at the UN. Tribes get funding from the government because of treaties that were signed after the Indian wars. Hopefully this allows you to see Natives in a different light because a lot of tribes are very poor such as my reservation Pine Ridge, ranked amongst the poorest communities in North America. Also there are reservations that lack running water or electricity.
Kyrie is his own man and that’s what the ppl that “run” society doesn’t like,, he shows ppl u can have your own ideas and beliefs and still be great , but they just want all of us to be sheep 🐑 , S/O Kyrie

Great show! The media tries to make kyrie look crazy so we don't follow the structure he is laying out. Kyrie, you are brilliant and connected to who you truly are and where you came from. I appreciate your knowledge brother! Triumph onwards and upwards..... Love you All.... Peace and Blessings always 🙏....
The misunderstanding is the sports media only cares about the sport. Thats their job. His personal enlightenment is his journey alone. Cant blend the 2. Be part of the team when its time too be. Then after/before satisfy self-care.

Kyrie just got Lebroned that’s all! He will be fine! I never agreed for Lesbro to come back bc I envisioned a young team back then with Kyrie being the leader not Lesbro! I also feel bad for the way we did Wiggins bc I wanted him then too!

21:51 mins in I can say I learned a lot more than I expected and this podcast will be one I rewatch constantly. Great show, great people, and even better conversations.1LOVE.
I really love how Kyrie instilled the importance of learning your lineage.
As a Somali, knowing your tribe is huge in our culture to respecting your ancestors and the knowledge they passed down each generation.
Love and respect for this interview.
Kyrie is a gem to humanity and a gem to his community.
These are the types of people I love because everyone can learn something.
Muhammad Ali appealed to the African- Americans, Muslims and the world and used his platform to inspire others and teach Islam in a beautiful way by using humour, and wisdom.
I feel that Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon and Kyrie are quite similar in that regard.

Dont say us just you your a follower that believe and follow what you see on tv lol other people actually can use their own brain and think for themselves !!
respect for being open minded, the media twists and turns things to make us see things differently it takes us to see it for what it really is
You never was for his beliefs if you let the media turn y’all against him to begin with
He turned us against him.
How did you allow the media to change your perspective about a black man?
The most skilled player in terms of handles. Also has the prettiest arsenal of lay ups ive ever seen. Keep doimng you, Uncle Drew! Much love from Manila, Philippines.
LOL😂😂🤡
💯
Kemba walker if he never plays with bron.

@iamathlete Brandon I appreciate you taking hind of your viewers advice to listen more and giving Kyrie the space to really express himself as well as allow views to get to know Kyrie. This was a great conversation. Kyrie is a very grounded individual that choose to live for himself rather then others. Awesome
Salute, this interview opened my eyes to some thing i didn't understand. I definitely gained more respect for Kyrie and wish him nothing but the best!
There comes a time in every old soul’s life where they finally reach the top of the mountain and you’re left with this empty yet hungry feeling for more and at that point you either commit yourself to another impossible grind thinking this next one will be the high you’ve been looking for. Or you look down from the top and watch the next man grinding his ass off for the unfulfilling throne. For the next man who has yet to experience glory in his many lifetimes it may be fulfilling but for the old souls it is at this moment where we realize life is much bigger than this. Now the door to true fulfillment begins to open.
well put my G. Uncle Drew fits Kyire's character well.
Being a Kobe guy, only games I really watch nowadays is with the players who are Kobe guys as well I.e KD, Kyrie, Tatum, Lavine, Booker etc because Im hoping to see a glimpse of the Mamba Mentality in them and they bring what Kobe taught them on to the court.
I’m glad Kyrie had his Kobe moment and was able to Factime Kobe when he won his chip to thank him for his guidance.
"Just a glimpse of Mamba Mentality" Well said.
Me as well, the Kobe disciples. As far as mentality goes I think Kyrie has it the most of the bunch. Ive watched the others collapse under pressure multiple times.
@@ethereal.airbrush like Devin Book did on Game 7. He couldn’t even play defense nor contribute that game smh.

Love Kyrie, he stands on what he believes unapologetically.

That’s my all time favorite player, that’s my hero, that’s who I’ve been blessed to have idolized for almost 10 whole years now.. that’s KYRIE FREAKING IRVING 👑🖤 The epitome of MISUNDERSTOOD
I never knew about Kyrie’s life, never cared for him but after listening to his story man much respect for this dude.
People grieve differently. Kyrie can leave his teammates hanging, hate Jews, and believe in anti-science. If Kobe were still around maybe he wouldn't have gotten off the path.
@@VeritableVagabond he hates Jews?
Shady Mccoy needs to be on every episode 😂 dude is hilarious
Nooo that nigga is slow definitely
He needs to be traded
B marsh should take a step back like just chill on talking so much and let shady, ocho, and pack man host this it’d be so much better
Kyrie seems like he is a genuine dude that is just misunderstood
Truth hurts and media hates his freedom. Mostly that Vaccine BS
No shii Sherlock u been up ina da clouds ☁️ 4 2 long
I love my black Kings! This dialogue is amazing, genuine conversation with genuine laughs and people!
Kyrie already explained why he asked for a trade and that comment about the Cavs Franchise looking at different visions for the "Team's Future" is a big giveaway. Ownership wanted LeBron to commit to the Cavs with more years on his original deal and LeBron wasn't going for it because he wanted to go to the Lakers after his Cavs stint(He has the right to control his own future). Cavs were talking trade packages that centered around Kyrie for players such as CP3, Eric Bledsoe, and Paul George in hopes to get LeBron to change his mind so he could commit there but LeBron didn't budge. Kyrie's camp heard of these trade packages that would send him either to the Phoenix Suns or the rebuilding Clippers and he decided to get things started and control his own destiny on a trade by announcing he wanted to go.
It's less a LeBron vs Kyrie thing but a Cavs franchise that wasn't going to commit to Kyrie after LeBron wouldn't commit to them. So Kyrie like any player who is committed to a championship roster doesn't want to be swept up or stuck during the storm known as the rebuilding process without any say in the matter(Look at Miserable Kevin Love was in Cleveland until recently).
Many forget that Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert and LeBron got a very tense relationship that has alot of spite and hate than actual love. When he couldn't get a commitment from LeBron he made sure to ship Kyrie off to a Rival and wanted to make LeBron's last year there as miserable as it gets.
Yep Cavs team fell apart mainly because LeBron wasn't going to stay but the media wouldn't say this but blame Kyrie when the issue was LeBron and Gilbert being at odds
When Kyrie was talking about his dad 🔥 he sounded like a kid I love it
Definitely a great interview. The media will have you thinking he makes bad decisions and selfish. When he’s actually a good person that believes in principles and values
Because the media is goofy you know they always got a narrative. Shit life be more then sports and the media don't know bro from a can of paint.
@@shawnsmith9820 exactly that’s why I don’t fw the media they don’t know shit about these athletes let alone on how to play the sport they just be talking nonsense
Principles and values apparently equals being self-righteous and egotistical. Anybody who calls themself a martyr, especially unprovoked, is an asshole
Wow, a great interview! Kyrie is one of my top 3 PG but his approach to life (e.g. indigenous status), challenges and his state of mind have impressed me a lot. This prove that channel like I Am Athlete provides a great opportunity to the People to learn the authentic experiences of Athletes; not like those Mainstream media that provide fake stuff.
Merci!
Loved this interview....way to stay true to yourself and damn what others think. Life Lesson 💯
lol cryrie Irving is never gonna win another ring😂 without Lebron this guy is nothing
I'm a life long Celtics fan, but Kyrie will always be my favorite player ever to watch this man's play is pure art, whether he hates Boston or not I'm always rooting for this man and really happy to see him healthy mentally. Celtics in 6!
See x
This episode was among the best. Kyrie is far beyond being a slave to the game or anything! Power to the knowledge. Hope you all read those books, they enhanced my life. I have to ge the community one tho
Now I wanna sit down and have a conversation with Kyrie! What a great human being💎💯
Its up. Feel like this finna be a legendary interview
Thanks for this interview; its inspiring and encourages all, & especially the youth to follow your dreams. But don’t forget who you are; and its ok to NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE and pursue that journey no matter where you are, who you are, or the things you accomplished. BEST THING ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW IS KYRIE SHARED HOW HE FOUND HIMSELF!!! THANKS KYRIE & I AM ATHLETE!!!
Signature shoes count
McCoy: “I love Klay, what Klay got?”
Kyrie: “Klay’s with Anta”
McCoy “WHO!”
Kyrie: “Anta”
McCoy: “The Drink?”
😂🤣😂🤣
I died 💀
Honestly this was one of y'all best episodes. I love KYRIE IRVING. 👑 I relate to KYRIE IRVING. And I know there's so much more Positive and influential things coming from this King. Thank you King, Thank you I AM ATHLETE. FOR THIS SPECIAL SPECIAL EPISODE. One was Fed on this one. ❤❤✨✨
Legendary episode! Kyrie got a helluva story man had no idea he lost his mom and grandma so young. I got a great deal of respect for this brother real talk wise beyond his years
Kyrie made I AM OF ATHLETE great again. Much respect man.
Facts!!!!
From 27:28 minute point in the interview...Clarity is powerful. When you can articulate your your feelings and grow from it... WOW! Respect Kyrie. I agree Bron and KD live on a level that 99% of the people would never relate too. Thank you for saying that... especially with for Skip Bayless, I cringe every time he starts to talk... Respect and thank you for Standing 10 toes down for your Tribe and Culture. One of the Host try to out talk the guest...BM...
Well said💯
This was the best one so far to me. Big up to Kyrie for sharing the knowledge fr
Right he didn’t have to do that
The hate he gets for what he wants in his body is ridiculous. Saying hes not a top 75 player of all time is ridiculous hes being blackballed a lot
He’s not top 75 has a lot more to do
@@mizzyfit_334 he not top 75 but he was top 75 till he didn’t wanna take the vaccine and they took him off make it make sense
@@mizzyfit_334 He was on the list they took dude out. Brooklyn nets posted KD, Harden and Kyrie congratulated them for making the list while the covid drama was going on
He’s definitely top 75 and a all of the original guys were grandfathered in from the top 50
@@isaiahm9559 what makes him top 75?
Shady bring a whole different energy to the show . He so funny
Yea definitely but also he likes to hear what they have to say
And he still not getting paid enough. Just listen to the first 30 seconds lmao
@@salvadormendoza8400 I laughed immediately Brandon better make the right decision this time
This is what i’m here for.
imo the tea time, and other segments aside from Ocho vs. Science really aren’t that interesting.
I believe the people wanna see more pods/interviews like this here!
Agreed
Never understand how people can hate on a man who takes responsibility for his life and his journey you can tell Kyrie is a very spiritual intellectual out spoken thinker that people can’t always understand clearly and that’s honestly what sets him apart from other athletes
