There have been so many things said about Kyrie over the years but strictly from an on court perspective, way too many people disrespected how great he is as a player and how good he and Luka could be as a duo and we're seeing that now.
That's where the lie is , most media members and analysts didn't say much about Kyrie's basketball prowess, they were critical (for good reasons) of his off the court antics .
@@matthieusaade3616I can forgive the flat Earth bs. Otherwsie he is a wise man with a heart of an elephant. Go criticize the heartless and the soulless.
@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 It's crazy they had a terrible game in game 4, didn't have Lively and still could have won. Credit to Wolves for getting it done but this is over next game.
He did make the list, he was then removed. They even did an interview with him and published a video on the nets website. A ring this year would feed basketball fans for generations to come.
they'll tell you hes hasn't been good in the playoffs for "since lebron" while forgetting he was killing the Celtics and bucks before getting hurt and then didn't play a year of basketball basically and still had avg of 23/5/3/2/1 on 44/39/100 inn the sweep against Boston which was very close ( which they love to talk about how close the lakers were while being swept by the nuggets)
I'd say it's the other way around. Kyrie is the veteran with championship experience, he's the leader. Plus the "heart" of the team is not going to be the new guy
It’s not disrespectful. Yes, the Mavs can’t win without him but he’s no. 2 behind Luka. That’s nothing to be ashamed about. Luka is top 3 best player in the world.

We all owe Kyrie an apology including myself. I thought he was a lost cause after that Brooklyn fiasco but he's proven everyone wrong. He took a step back, focused on defense, letting Luka feed off his presence, and has really embraced J Kidd.

Brooklyn not holding onto Kyrie which led to KD leaving too is going to haunt them for a long time. Star players talk and no one is going to want to play in Brooklyn for a long long time
As a long-time Mavs fan, I derive a lot of satisfaction from how it doesn't matter how many rounds we survive... everyone thinks we're mediocre. Round 1, it's because "Harden and PG didn't show up when it really matters" Round 2, it's because "OKC needed this experience. They were just too young to handle the pressure" Round 3, it's because "Ant isn't being aggressive enough and KAT didn't show up" "Better team" anyone? Is Dallas ever simply "the Better Team?" LOL! And I know it's going to be the same when we take on Boston. Everyone is going to say Boston in 6 or less... and when they lose, I don't know why it will be... but it CERTAINLY won't be because Dallas was the "Better Team."
in all honesty.. Luka and Kyrie have comitted to defense and I am not saying either of them are ever going to make a defensive team, but they been playing pretty good defense all year. Then PJ Gaffor and Lively been playing out of their minds.. and they done this without Kleber who is agrubaly the best defender on the team.. Im a huge Mavs fan, obviously. Think the Celtics will win but this has been one of the best playoff runs I have ever seen. The only better one was the 2011 Mavs. Good Luck to the Celtics and lets hope for a great series :)
In my opinion, Kyrie is a champion first, who happens to be on the Mavs' roster, therefore he's 1st, imo. They wanted to try and humble him by trying to make him play a secondary role. A role which he acquiesces to when it's necessary for strategy purposes. But he's saved a team the Luka couldn't lead even when given cart blanche. So put some respect on my guy. He's one of the most deadliest guards there is, and the most skilled, he's "the closer" and everyone knows that. They just gotta keep light on Luka for media purposes. Even playing as a 2, you can see his range of play. He's probably the best player in the game as far as that goes. Luka is DAMN good, but without Irving this team would've been out by now. No question.
Adam Silver: “Do you regret not taking the vaccine?” Kyrie Irving: “No” Adam Silver: “Do you regret posting a controversial video?” Kyrie Irving: “No” Adam Silver: “Do you regret stomping on Celtics logo, Lucky? Kyrie Irving: “Yes”
you could argue that but you'd be wrong. Luka is better and the number 1 option. Nothing wrong with that. That's what makes the mavs a finals team. kyrie would be the number 1 option on most teams.
@@Kentarius there is no second option, both players said so. They both get fed the ball pretty equally in clutch but kyrie for sure gets teammates involved more. But they are going to take whatever the defense gives them, either is hitting the game winner and its a pick your poison situation.
im a mavs fan of sorts , honestly i love their bball . those crazy runs in regular season even if they knocked out clippers and then lost to OKC i wouldnt be mad - id just say well they gonna have one more year to glue together ... everything after clippers is just icing on the cake . (also afraid to jinx it 😂)
I would love to see Mavs winning the ring this year, but like Kobe once said "What's there to be happy about? Job's not finished. Job finished? I don't think so." so even 3-0 doesn't mean anything
They put him aside for posting a link to a documentary on Amazon.... An effing documentary that was already available for everyone to watch. And they have the nerves to call it "drama" Well... F y'all he's a man who stands his ground and not selling his beliefs like a LOT of other players do.
@@walterhunter3353 if that indicates one thing it's the fact of how much influence they have on the major media outlets worldwide and especially the US ones... Shit is really scary
That move on Gilbert at the 3min 5sec marker was disgusting 😂😂. I said this about Kyrie on the Cavs with lebron if he increased his passing abilities and field of vision he’d be a better player. He already has made adjustments to himself getting older to accommodate for his speed reducing dunks, going for floaters, just adding to his bag literally other than just handles. The left hand floaters are crazy as hell to block and they’re fast to
Kyrie is very skilled,smart, and talented. I never ruled him out. He really looks happy again playing with this group. This brother played like this at Duke as well.
Kyrie should sue the NBA.. they smeared his name.. they demonized him.. cost him endorsements..: had the world frowning on Kyrie and all the man wanted to do was stand on principles/ i hate like hell i took that shot. I honestly feel differently to this day! Am i by myself on this ??????😢
Dame hasn't been used to being a second option. We should have known this from those games in the summer where he was second to Durant on the USA team and failed
@@MrE_ Kyrie wasn't either but u seen how expandable his game was when he did it with LeBron in their season together. There's no excuse for Dame. He's been in the league all these years before Giannis or Kyrie and he haven't worked on his game.
@@MrE_ that's the been excuse it is he hasn't been used to it or he haven't been asked to do that. Curry wasn't either but he did. Kyrie wasn't either but he did. Great players work on everything to make them greater now stay in be comfortable. Because the game changes and your option might change. If you aren't a top 3 player in the league. You know you better be working on your off the ball game.
He was right but the local cities were also right to ban unvaccinated players from playing. It was a life and death situation for some people maybe not healthy NBA players. Nobody was at fault.
@@escamunicha4276 The jab didn't prevent neither infection nor transmission; it only (potentially) protected the jabbed from the worst effects of the disease.

Gil said something that suprisingly made sense. He said champions understand that not every series is your series. And this was in response to Kyrie taking a back seat offensively in the Thunder series. When players begin to understand this, they will do what needs to be done to win, not what they want to do. Kyrie understood involving everyone else was more important than calling his number. But you see against Minnesota, he is aggressive again offensively because truth be told, he has a mismatch every single time. Luka has a mismatch every single time, and DJJ and PJ Washington are just chilling cause they don't have mismatches. The playoffs is about matchups. And that shows Kyries understanding of the moment. On the flip side, Minnesota doesn't understand this. KAT has a mismatch all day in the post if he only played in the post which would open up the paint and perimeter for his teammates. But KAT is all about him. Not only KAT, but this is not an ANT Edwards series either. He has no driving lanes (when lively is on the floor), so getting more aggressive and taking more shots will result in more turnovers. But Anderson and Reid, this is their series. As you can see, even the coach doesn't understand this. Playing reid and KAT over Gobert is the adjustment they need to make cause it will free up the spacing on the floor. But KAT needs to be aggressive around the rim, naz reid can space the floor, and that should give edwards more space to drive and put the mavs into rotation. But they are just not ready and they can't put their egos aside.
I know I’m commenting late, but the reason kyrie wasn’t taking shots against okc was because he got doubled and blitzed the entire series and they didn’t even let him go one on one much without them having help at the nail loaded up, so he kinda had no choice but to be a good playmaker and make the right reads in that series in which he did.
When Mavs acquired Kyrie, I'm not happy. Not because I didn't like Kai, but I think he is too much on offensive end because I want Luka to win a ring without another superstar with him. Now they let this happened, with a solid supporting cast. Mavs is unstoppable atm.
Broooo, my Mavs are doing so good! I think this might go to 6 games. I think without Lively and some adjustments the Wolves should make that they will take game 4. More Naz and Slomo, less Rudy. Don’t have Ant guard Luka or Ky….then they have a chance.
Steven A Smith,, has Become a Clown of an Analist.. Also Perkins,, They say the Most Crazy stuff about Sport players, I Dont Know how they still have Jobs.😊
I hate to compare Murray to Kyrie, I am a fan of both of them but one of the reason Wolves couldn't do with Mavs what they did with Denver was they couldn't figure out Kyrie the way they did with Jamal. He's the most fluid scorer to have ever played in NBA. The NBA is lucky to have him. And with Murray give him sometime he'll get there soon enough.
To be fair it was never his ability in question. It just seemed like over the past 5 years his seasons have ended with either an injury or disappointing playoff exit. Then there's the drama and the trade request. In honesty not many were picking the Mavs to even make it out the first round. I know I was shocked. I love this for Chief Hela. The media tried to destroy his character and make him out to be a lunatic but he's a lot more wise than he's given credit for. Mavs complete the sweep and beat Boston in 6
I love Kyrie. He is a man who knows his mind and his own opinions and is not afraid to hold an unpopular view. He is also one of the best ball handler the game has ever seen. He is humble unselfish and skilled beyond belief. High IQ. High personal values. A very special man.
That seems like the first time in a long time Kyrie actually looks like he's having a great time playing basketball again the joy of basketball has come back he's actually smiling what a great team he got went to the right team Kyrie and Luca what a power madhouse Power Team Mavs are going to be the next NBA champions

Kyrie-Drama 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish folks stop listening to the media
He's like the Barry Sanders of the NBA. He is awesome
He made it through one season without ruining a team. Let’s pump the brakes.
Broooo, my Mavs are doing so good! I think this might go to 6 games. I think without Lively and some adjustments the Wolves should make that they will take game 4. More Naz and Slomo, less Rudy. Don’t have Ant guard Luka or Ky….then they have a chance.
Steven A Smith,, has Become a Clown of an Analist.. Also Perkins,, They say the Most Crazy stuff about Sport players, I Dont Know how they still have Jobs.😊
He definitely is. He can see the writing on the wall so he’s trying to create a RUclips channel like Shannon Sharp.
"Kyrie had this man thinking he'd die" 😂💀
Damn the Lakers for not trading for him
Kyrie will win the ring this years, and SAS retied soon as posible after that
ANTHONY DAVIS AND K. LEONARD GETS INTO THE TOP 75 PLAYERS... 😂😂... THEY BARELY ON THE COURT..... YALL KNOW BRON BEHIND KYRIE'S USA OLYMPIC SNUB... 😊😊
I hate to compare Murray to Kyrie, I am a fan of both of them but one of the reason Wolves couldn't do with Mavs what they did with Denver was they couldn't figure out Kyrie the way they did with Jamal. He's the most fluid scorer to have ever played in NBA. The NBA is lucky to have him.
And with Murray give him sometime he'll get there soon enough.
To be fair it was never his ability in question. It just seemed like over the past 5 years his seasons have ended with either an injury or disappointing playoff exit. Then there's the drama and the trade request. In honesty not many were picking the Mavs to even make it out the first round. I know I was shocked. I love this for Chief Hela. The media tried to destroy his character and make him out to be a lunatic but he's a lot more wise than he's given credit for. Mavs complete the sweep and beat Boston in 6
I love Kyrie. He is a man who knows his mind and his own opinions and is not afraid to hold an unpopular view. He is also one of the best ball handler the game has ever seen. He is humble unselfish and skilled beyond belief. High IQ. High personal values. A very special man.
If the mavs win it all this year, the storyline would be crazy, I hope they win it all
and Kyrie is doing it all wearing cowboy boots 😂
i admit, i though kyrie to dalas would be a disaster coz they had luka as PG and they need solid center turns out i was wrong, he fits just right.
He made all of them out of asses!
Is kyrie the best Irving to play in the nba?
Yes “The NBA was wrong about Kyrie”
That seems like the first time in a long time Kyrie actually looks like he's having a great time playing basketball again the joy of basketball has come back he's actually smiling what a great team he got went to the right team Kyrie and Luca what a power madhouse Power Team Mavs are going to be the next NBA champions
Leave Uncle Drew alone. Let's go Mavericks
Kyrie defense this playoffs is top tier
ngl
he is playing like point guard version of andre igodala in defense + fusion of kobe and curry in offense
who is Luker?
