[@gaspergerm7424]

He's such a good fit next to Luka. They have this master-apprentice chemistry where Kai is mentoring Luka to become a champ and Luka is still giving Kai game. That's probably the reason why Kai is having so much fun playing alongside him.

[@philipjourneay3843]

so comprehensive and articulately composed. Kyrie talks like an intellectual, with proper grammar, and a good vibe. his own look... his own person... just a refreshing voice for the NBA, when so many players are hard to listen to

[@tomcat1555]

He went to private schools in elementary and high school, then went to Duke University, another academically prestigious school, played under coach K. Does this explain why he's very eloquent?

[@momo11817]

Kai is very professional when talking and speaking to the media.

[@felixtravel7372]

He has always been an articulate person. What really impressed me in this video are how he sees himself as a cog in the machine rather than being the team or being at least one half of the team, and how he exuded kindness by showing consideration as opposed to always punctuating his comment with force/authority. The basketball world have a lot to gain if he has finally found peace because he has always been a generational talent.

[@jennifertodd1732]

Also, he has an IQ of 150.

Kyrie is one of the best prepared and most cerebral players in the history of this sport I love so much. His place in the Hall of Fame to me is a forgone conclusion. I admire him as a man and just want to see him hoist that trophy several more times before his playing days are done and be happy I got to witness it.

[@mikefitzgerald6897]

This man has matured so much while playing on this team. People complaining about the coaching staff needs make note how the young players mature. P J is playing with intensity. Gafford has said its night and day between teams. Lively is jumping out the house and i heard he takes 200 three pointers per day after practice. These guys are all giving 100 percent. That is good coaching in a player driven league.

[@phengvang1441]

He’s always been mature, people and the mainstream media just love to paint a different picture because he doesn’t fit into their narrative

[@peterermish3017]

I never followed Kyrie closely and had a vague idea that he was difficult or unlikeable. In fact, he is very likable. He is smart, insightful and professional. I never miss one of his post game interviews because I learn so much. How did he get a questionable rep? He is the real deal. He manages his relationship with Luka perfectly.

[@Wavy_Godd96]

It all started after a post game interview where a female reporter asked Kyrie “does Lebron play a parental role/father like figure in his career” when she asked he thought she was joking but no she was serious, ever since then the media black balls Kyrie at every turn.

[@phengvang1441]

He doesn’t fit the narrative thus the mainstream media would paint a unlikable picture of him. He is extremely intelligent and not a fall in order guy

[@shakebake7803]

Because he values and exercises freedom..

[@joshuat5140]

The media really made him seem bad. But kyrie is a great player and even better person.

[@rcmstereo]

His teammates love him. So there is a message coming from somewhere else that is BS. I think he’s ahead of his time and the rest of the league is slowly catching up.

[@dyi620]

Kai just demands respect. If you disrepect him, he gonna do that back to you 10x. Judge him all you want but if you treat the man with dignity, you gonna thrive and that's what the Mavs organization is doing from top down. You can tell Kai found his center there. Good on him.

[@BMTurceanuHikeRun]

he's got Luka's back. With Kai on the field, Luka can rest on some attacks and still score 25 35 points but without the team loosing points on off as Kai scores them. So its a double win.

[@jml235]

Wow, not the same guy as he was with Cavs. He did not like being 2nd option in Cleveland, he is clearly thriving as second option to Luka. Good for him, his journey to #2 has not been easy but came back full circle, and he seems at peace now with who he is. And we get to see the most artistic/beautiful basketball that has ever existed. He is truly a master of his craft.

[@baristatraveler8038]

Mavs are lucky to have two basketball savants playing for their team

[@thomasblank2353]

I always appreciated Kais game, the rest of the stuff is his personal life and I dont stick my nose in there on anyone. Great handles, the best I have seen. He is also an excellent clutch player, a great guy to have on your side in the final 2-3 minutes of a tight game.

[@ttran626]

Kyrie has matured so much. He use to always show passive aggression with reporters, but he is very respectful now. Kudos to his growth

[@user-si4mx7gj1y]

Perhaps the media was to blame aswell. He's never been a bad person, hes just being treated as one. Smaller market means less strain from media and less woke media in Texas.

[@walkrwalkr3622]

Probably because Cuban and the Mavs protected him more and made sure the reporters don’t get out of hand. Cuban does know about media. Boston and the Nets fed him to the sharks and did nothing when those sharks were circling.

After that devastating loss in Cleveland, Kyrie was the only player on the Mavs to walk over to the Cavs bench and congratulate them and even hugged Max Strus, who cut their hearts out with that 60-footer.

I have to admit fault here. I misjudged this man after his last few stops in the league and thought this move was terrible for Dallas. But after seeing how they’ve come back this season, I think it’s obvious kyrie has bought in to this system and to Luka and I can’t wait to see what they are able to do together going forward. This clippers team is loaded with talent (even without kawhii). Also, at this point in his career, I think James harden might be underrated. Acquiring him was a bigger deal for LA than signing Russ imo.
