Kyrie's character development in the last couple of years is such an inspiring thing to witness. That response comes from a place of humility. And it means so much deeper coming from somone of his caliber.

[@ignoblesavage5559]

See, I think he made a huge character leap DURING Covid (not after). He knew what his very real doubts were, and he stuck by his guns for the sake of him & his family. Turns out that, very slowly, news is trickling out that there was definitely something to his doubts. I am also grateful to have not taken that "vaccine." And one of the mRNA vaxx producers had to pull their product from ALL of Europe bc of an unacceptable growing level of vaccine injury. So he opted for the natural immunity track, and he never got reinfected. How it SHOULD work for those who don't have exacerbating comorbidities whose immune systems dont work normally.

I’m simply pointing out to get the most out of him, he needs a Lebron/Luka type player as a partner in crime along side him. Not a Durant/Harden kind’ve player….An unselfish superstar. You can’t deny this is the best overall version of Kyrie we have seen since that championship year in Cleveland. I think that’s really become the most effective formula for a Chip lately. 2 stars surrounded by very good complementary role players. I’m just happy to see him in s situation that brings the best out of him. Remember when Stephen A. Smith said he should retire lol ? What an idiot. And he’s been picking against the Mavs the entire playoffs…. and now tries to act like he’s been on the Mavs train the whole time. Pshhh… get outta here with that.

[@SkunkFarmer420]

Kyrie and Luka are the most offensively talented backcourt in history but not the best. In my opinion the best backcourt would consist of 2 players that actually play off of each other and don’t simply defer to the other when one of them is tired or just hit a cold streak. Great pick and roll game with each other, knowing where the other is going when moving off ball and hitting them for an assist. Making it seem like those two individuals are beating the team they’re up against by themselves by their play off of each other. Something like a telepathic relationship between two exceptional talents is what would make up the best back court in my mind.

[@Roman-sd1go]

It's amazing to see Kyrie's maturation and his evolution .He's playing like Bad Boys Isiah Thomas. This what you would have seen had he played on the dream team in 92 with those open court FIFA rules which is basically current day NBA. He's added to Zeke's ball handling , and ability to finish amongst trees and create but the main thing that I see that's similar. His championship toughness and leadership. Playing both sides of the ball and taking the game over however he wants when needed. That 9 pt on 2/3 shooting 11 assist and I believe 10 boards with 3 steals and 3 blocks game is the most impressive game I have seen him play to this point of his career. Quintessential point guard play at it's finest . An old school work of art. He's also separating himself from LeBron. If they can keep it together when it's all said and done he'll probably say Luka was the best player he ever played with.
