The media was so quick to tear down the pairing of Luka & Kyrie. Now they have no choice but to give them well deserved props

[@Sebest-fs3xu]

Honestly better they give props than most of the media continuing to disrespect Rudy.

[@MVRBFree]

The Hoop Collective podcast with Windy literally tried to warn Dallas and predicted he would end up being a cancer to the team. I’m personally glad Ky is making these mf’s eat their words.

[@bigmike11559]

They never tore down the pairing, they tore down Kyrie. Hey, I agreed with the media on this one. Watching Kyrie force his way out of Cleveland, then the dumpster fires that he left in Boston and Brooklyn, it was hard to take him seriously anymore. Don't forget that he randomly disappeared from Brooklyn multiple times without consulting the team before the whole vaccine fiasco (around when Harden was traded there). Kyrie hasn't had a meaningful basketball moment since the 2017 playoffs (well, one game against the celtics in 22 before he disappeared again). His teams have fallen apart and he has been embroiled in a bunch drama. He is an aging 2 gaurd. They weren't wrong with thier observations. Their opinion was built off of a ton of evidence. And their opinion turned out to be wrong. I for one am truly happy that my opinion is wrong. I love watching an engaged Kyrie on the court. But its not like the NBA media was blasting him out of nowhere.

Has always been a family man and always been on his personal journey to finding his inner self. Don’t get on National television and talk about Kyrie like he made some drastic life changes.

Let’s keep going…. *Magic* *Johnson* Championship: 5 Finals MVP: 3 MVP: 3 All-Star MVP: 2 Assists leader: 4 Steals leader: 2 Total = 19 *Larry* *Bird* Championship: 3 Finals MVP: 2 MVPs: 3 All-Star MVP: 2 ROY: 1 Three-point contest champion: 3 Total = 14 MJ = 37 Magic + Bird = 33 *Kobe* *Bryant* Championship: 5 Finals MVP: 2 MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 4 Scoring champion: 2 Slam dunk champion: 1 Total = 15 *Shaquille* *O’Neal* Championship: 4 Finals MVP: 3 MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 3 ROY: 1 Scoring champion: 2 Total: 13 MJ = 37 Kobe + Shaq = 28 *Tim* *Duncan* Championship: 5 Finals MVP: 3 MVP: 2 All-Star MVP: 1 ROY: 1 Total = 12 MJ finally loses when I combined the top 3 players in the 2000s!! 🤣 MJ = 37 Kobe + Shaq + Duncan = 40 But what if I add Hakeem’s achievements? Is it fair to Jordan that it’s 1 vs. 3 with individual accolades? So let me add the 2nd GOAT of the 90s…. *Hakeem* *Olajuwon* Championship: 2 Finals MVP: 2 MVP: 1 DPOY: 2 Rebounding leader: 2 Blocks leader: 3 Total = 12 MJ + Hakeem = 49 Kobe + Shaq + Duncan = 40 MJ = 37 LeBron + Kobe = 33 Uh, huh. We done with the 90s! 🤣 The top two 80s, 00s, and 10s players are combining their awards and Michael Jordan still has more than them! *Steph* *Curry* Championship: 4 Finals MVP: 1 MVP: 2 All-Star MVP: 1 Scoring champion: 2 Steals leader: 1 Three-point contest champion: 2 Total = 13 Jordan played against plumbers like Hakeem for all those awards! 🤣 You would think MJ hogged all the awards in the 80s and 90s, but Hakeem still has as many trophies as Tim Duncan. The 90s was really the best decade of basketball. 1998 Utah Jazz Eliminated Tim Duncan Eliminated Shaq and Kobe Jazz eliminated Hakeem and Clyde the year prior. The 97 and 98 Jazz eliminated past and future champions but they never get the credit they deserve. They’re 90s plumbers. We won’t hold it against Kobe and LeBron for losing when they were young. But if Jordan got swept by Bird twice, we will hold it against him. Hilarious! Michael Jordan is still better than your favorite player not named Michael Jordan. LeBron James is the GOAT for never being the GOAT. LeBron is the GOAT for never being as great as Michael Jordan. MJ = 37 LeBron + KD = 30 LeBron + Kobe = 33 LeBron + Steph = 31 Do the math, kids. *Kareem* *Abdul-Jabbar* Championship: 6 Finals MVP: 2 MVP: 6 ROY: 1 Scoring title: 2 Rebounding leader: 1 Blocks leader: 3 Total = 21 Finals MVP didn’t exist until 1969. Blocks and steals weren’t counted until 1973-1974. No 3-point line until 1979-1980. *Bill* *Russell* Championship: 11 MVP: 5 All-Star MVP: 1 ROY: 1 Rebounding leader: 4 Total = 22 *Wilt* *Chamberlain* Championship: 2 Finals MVP: 1 MVP: 4 All-Star MVP: 1 ROY: 1 Scoring champion: 7 Rebounding leader: 11 Assist leader: 1 Total = 26 1. Michael Jordan = 37 2. Wilt Chamberlain = 26 3. Bill Russell = 22 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar = 21 5. Magic Johnson = 19 6. LeBron James = 18 7. Kobe Bryant = 15 Some more random ones… *Kevin* *Garnett* Championship: 1 MVP: 1 All-Star: MVP: 1 DPOY: 1 Rebounding leader: 4 Total = 8 *Dirk* *Nowitzki* Championship: 1 Finals MVP: 1 MVP: 1 Three-point contest champion: 1 Total: 4 *Scottie* *Pippen* Championship: 6 All-Star MVP: 1 Steals leader: 1 Total = 8 *Karl* *Malone* MVP: 2 All-Star MVP: 2 Total = 4 *Charles* *Barkley* MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 1 Total = 2 *Penny* *Hardaway* Total = 0 *David* *Robinson* Championship: 2 MVP: 1 ROY: 1 DPOY: 2 Scoring champion: 1 Rebounding leader: 1 Blocks leader: 1 Total = 9 *Patrick* *Ewing* ROY: 1 Total = 1 *Giannis* *Antetokounmpo* Championship: 1 Finals MVP: 1 MVP: 2 All-Star MVP: 1 DPOY: 1 MIP: 1 Total = 7 *Nikola* *Jokic* Championship: 1 Finals MVP: 1 MVP: 3 Total = 5 *Joel* *Embiid* MVP: 1 Scoring champion: 2 Total = 3 *Allen* *Iverson* MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 2 ROY: 1 Scoring champion: 4 Steals leader: 3 Total = 11 *Dwyane* *Wade* Championship: 3 Finals MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 1 Scoring champion: 1 Total = 6 *Kawhi* *Leonard* Championship: 2 Finals MVP: 2 All-Star MVP: 1 DPOY: 2 Steals leader: 1 Total = 8 *James* *Harden* MVP: 1 6MOY: 1 Scoring champion: 3 Assists leader: 2 Total = 7 *Luka* *Doncic* ROY: 1 Scoring champion: 1 Total = 2 *Jayson* *Tatum* All-Star MVP: 1 Total = 1 *Kyrie* *Irving* Championship: 1 All-Star MVP: 1 ROY: 1 Three-point contest champion: 1 Total = 4 *Anthony* *Edwards* Total = 0 *Lou* *Williams* 6MOY: 3 Total = 3 *Paul* *George* MIP: 1 Steals leader: 1 Total = 2 *Tracy* *McGrady* MIP: 1 Scoring champion: 2 Total = 3 *Vince* *Carter* Slam dunk champion: 1 Total = 1 *Paul* *Pierce* Championship: 1 Finals MVP: 1 Three-point contest champion: 1 Total = 3 *Ray* *Allen* Championship: 2 Three-point contest champion: 1 Total = 3 *Clyde* *Drexler* Championship: 1 Total = 1 *Dominique* *Wilkins* Scoring champion: 1 Slam dunk champion: 2 Total = 3 *Isiah* *Thomas* Championship: 2 Finals MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 2 Assists leader: 1 Total = 6 *Dennis* *Rodman* Championship: 5 DPOY: 2 Rebounding leader: 7 Total = 14 *Draymond* *Green* Championship: 4 DPOY: 1 Steals leader: 1 Total = 6 *Klay* *Thompson* Championship: 4 Three-point contest champion: 1 Total = 5 *Russell* *Westbrook* MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 2 Scoring champion: 2 Assists leader: 3 Total = 8 *Oscar* *Robertson* Championship: 1 MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 3 ROY: 1 Assists leader: 6 Total = 12 *Jerry* *West* Championship: 1 Finals MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 1 Scoring champion: 1 Assists leader: 1 Total = 5 MJ shows love to The Logo…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZvHhqFuhZ6lprcsi=q9McOo-rMEpmnhRA *Bob* *Cousy* Championship: 6 MVP: 1 All-Star MVP: 2 Assists leader: 8 Total = 18 *JJ* *Redick* Total = 0 (won zero NBA trophies) ^ But it’s Cousy who played against plumbers, right JJ? 🤣 Plumbers like Big O who has 12 trophies to Tim Duncan’s 12. Cooz was probably beating the same quality as Redick as a player then. *Gilbert* *Arenas* MIP: 1 Total = 1 “Jordan Poole has more skill than MJ.” 😂 *Jordan* *Poole* Championship: 1 Total = 1 I love shitting on these losers who have won nothing in their careers but they’re the ones dissing real legends. JJ is overrated for being super handsome. Gilbert was a 3x all-star but won nothing meaningful. Agent ZERO credibility. Nique had a better career than T-Mac and Vince (these are Kobe’s peers and competition at the wing) but it’s MJ who played against plumbers. 🤣 Dang, Rudy Gobert and Dwight Howard together have more awards thanks to their DPOYs than PG-13, T-Mac, and Vince combined. Robinson won more awards than Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid but I thought MJ played against plumbers? 🤣 Why does David have more accolades than the last three guys who won the last six MVPs? Wasn’t MJ hogging all the awards won? David wasn’t even the best center in the 90s. “MJ had weak competition!” It’s all his fault for dominating an entire decade that these other greats failed to do! Kareem played in the weak 1970s winning all those MVPs and he doesn’t have as many actual trophies as Jordan. I’m combining the awards of Magic + Bird or LeBron + Kobe or whichever were the two best players from each decade and they’re still losing to Jordan in awards won. MJ is making every other great who won awards look like peasants! They mostly have less than half of what he won. MJ isn’t just the GOAT, he’s the undisputed GOAT. A combination of skill, talent, stats, individual accolades, team accomplishments, legendary moments, influence, impact, clutchness, and heart are why MJ will always remain the GOAT. The marketing, charisma, mystique, aura, the glow, and the shoes are only extra.

Write @ few books

[@austinhowser7838]

You should be ashamed of yourself

[@OG725]

Pat4Clippers 🦗 🤣

[@jamisonthompson6352]

All this for 2 likes is insane

[@brob8204]

Kyrie and Luka are not Batman and Robin 😄. If anything, you have two distinct super heroes.

[@wstew]

I never seen an entire team so "buy in" and willing to sacrifice for the team. Even THJ stops shooting to primarily focus on defence lol.

[@Djangoisback]

Does anyone carry the ball more than Luka? Even the frames espn uses show him with a full hand under the ball.

[@ALARGADORDECU]

"I got Kyrie" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ronduece9066]

If Luka plays defense, the Mavs are the favorite imo

[@ttdthreadtheneedlesports9454]

Just watch the game because he did a good job on defense.

[@jayharris9252]

Kyrie showing why he should’ve been on that Olympic roster

[@sxz62]

Windhorst: Luka's stats were way better before Kyrie came to Dallas. He does need anyone to help him, he just needs someone to help the team. Windhorst sounds like Luka is great because of Kyrie.

[@JC-zk7rt]

Let’s not forget, Minnesota has 4 stars. It goes to show how Dallas is overachieving and proving even so called expert analysts wrong. Kyrie is our Allen Iverson, he’s him even back in Cleveland where his superstardom started. His highlights are the most insane.

[@rockurworld8694]

I think they should put Kat on Luka, Jayden on Kyrie, Ant on Jones and Rudy is just weak and slow 😂

[@joesutherland9354]

Wolves would lose by far more if they even try to put KAT on Luka because KAT ain’t navigating screens on ball or off ball.

[@andrewp4220]

Oh it’s amazing !!! When Kyrie puts forth effort and Luka doesn’t spend half the game complaining - they win

[@bittulund86]

Ant is great. He is what the league needed. However because of his style of play , Luka all though he gets his praise, is taken for granted. The dude is clutch and has been since he entered the league. He's had a star with him twice now and each time made it to the conf finals. Brunson even wasn't brunson yet when they got to the conf finals together. Hope luka and kryie pull this out
