Media tried to crush this guy, and he proved he’s stronger than yall!

[@hasan-salam]

truth

Let's go kyrie

[@Veritas-Vincit]

Facts! He is Special

[@daviddabo2682]

They want to control the narrative, dictate your life, not everyone puts up with that S

[@wataruik2244]

Without this man this Mavs wouldn't be able to go this far. Not just the skills he provided but also the spiritual support for Luka and the rest of the young guys. Thank you legend

[@hasan-salam]

wow truth

[@therhymerr]

True proven veteran leadership that teams like OKC are missing

[@ballbreathtaker9773]

Truth. And above all the “ball hog” Luka the Don of basketball- even playing injured- makes everybody in his team better, including Kyrie who is an extraordinary player.

[@man94xxBIG]

I AGREE... there is no doubt

[@SLaPs817]

As much as I always say "the team , the team." This is fact

[@OwenMcKenna]

Kyrie press conferences are the best. He's a gold mine!

[@VicDamoneJr82]

So true very articulate and the best player in the league

[@Issaacson]

@@VicDamoneJr82 yeah it's hard to stop watching his post game interviews. So many nice life lessons.

[@ChristianJosephs]

unbelievable good agree. Sitting there and talking about basketball and you really wanna listen all day to him

[@firstnamelastname1566]

What this guy actually wants to say is that LeBum not on Kyrie level. Kyrie has shown many times now how to carry a team; LeBum, on the other hand, gets swept left and right lmao. Carried the Cavs team with full-on clowns to a championship and is now doing the same thing with the Mavs. Kyrie 2nd all time and will soon surpass MJ as the GOAT.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Probably the most respectable NBA player in interviews, I have nothing but praise on how he handles himself.

[@larsen1784]

What a legendary mind. This is the essence of a fully matured superstar.

[@firstnamelastname1566]

This just shows us that LeBum not on Kyrie level. Kyrie 2nd all time while LeBum not even top 100. If the Mavs win it all this year, Kyrie will surpass MJ as the GOAT.

[@dappa3ten]

Totally agree. You don’t hear other superstars speak on this level.

[@dk8460]

You can fell the Level of growth my guy went through….i can see the Mavs taking the backseat and letting Drew drive the boat

Yessir, Mavs ain't no bumbleclot!

[@VNZ.00]

I always look forward to Kai's interview, guy is so eloquent and its enjoyable to hear him explain things in his perspective..

[@dasfofinater4246]

One of the most entertaining players to listen to in interviews. Super charismatic and provides such a great insight into the game of basketball. Just as exciting on the court too.

[@Equalshares]

Only player since MJ and Kobe that makes me feel like he can come thru in the clutch and anything is possible

[@redtidepeoms2987]

Don’t for get Robert Horry, Hakeem the dream and Levin Garnett as who you feel most comfortable taking the last shot

[@Equalshares]

@@redtidepeoms2987 no this feeling is more than just the last shot clutch gene. It's when a player is clutch throughout the game and can create their own shot with dribbling,footwork,fakes and both hand finishes. I respect those players you named, but they couldn't take the ball from start to finish anywhere on the court with skill like this. Maybe Dwayne Wade and Magic could be mentioned but only a handful have that skill , intensity and focus . The clutch gene does extend to horry and others though.

[@deeburns1227]

For me besides the game win I so enjoy & look forward to Kyrie 's after game post interviews...love hearing him talk.

Agreed. It looked like Dort's only job was to rough Luka up and keep him hurt.

[@khalida02]

Yeah such a shame. How is that the best coach of the year, being okay injuring an athlete. If that's the best, how bad is the bad? And Shaq that's your MVP. I don't think cheaters are MVPs. I think integrity character and morals are just as important in an athlete as their athletic ability.

[@man94xxBIG]

@@khalida02 they were childishly aggressive against the Mavs in the last game particularly towards Luka......... unprofessional.

If your a Kobe fan you love kyrie. The only disciple of Kobe we have left.

[@theoassaly3092]

I love watching the Kyrie post game interviews. He is such a good guy always respectful and takes the questions seriously (even when they are stupid)

[@soylentteal]

He’s an intelligent and articulate fellow, which means he’s far better off where he is than where he was.

[@francoputin5785]

Respectfully, I don’t expect this level of cognizance and wisdom in an NBA post-game interview. Kyrie just improves. How can you not love this man for standing on his beliefs and speaking his heart clearly? What a great person to have on a team. Speaks on celebrity idolatry instead of promoting himself as a “superstar” player. He loves his family, loves the game, loves his team and he wants to win. God Bless you Kyrie Irving. 🏀🏆

[@LD_DC4L]

I love listening to Kyrie’s press conferences 🙌🏽

[@aceloco817]

Are critics gonna finally look at the Mavs as real title contenders if they finish this series 4-1? Or will they be talking about how OKC let us off the hook?

[@holypaper]

who cares

Lets first finish out the series before talking bout this

[@andrewfeller9277]

Valid. 😮‍💨

[@sammyr0cks]

Just an incredible asset the mavs have. He’s been thru the playoff wars, played alongside some greats, knows exactly what his team needs at any given moment and, most importantly, is willing to do what it takes to win. Defense, scoring, strategy, mental insight, the list goes on and on. Literally the perfect “secondary” piece on a championship caliber team, when he’s motivated and knows that championship is possible.

[@sammyr0cks]

I say “secondary” because he’s obviously a top 10 talent

[@Zwide97122]

There was a point in the game where Kyrie missed two back to back threes and Lively went for both offensive boards. On the second missed he tried a put back and was fouled. As he’s going to the line he sees Kyrie being down and he spoke some positivity into Ky. He’s gonna be special that Lively kid.
