Kyrie Irving has a heart of Gold. He gives millions to people in need. Never wanting media attention. We love him in Dallas and hope he stays after basketball.

[@djkido316]

That's why i can't never dislike Kai, no matter what the media says, dude really care about other people same can't be said for other nba players or athletes.

[@ysktv6175]

@@djkido316THIS that’s why I never really understood the hate for Kyrie til I realized it all started after he left bron , he’s played great without bron and if not for injury he’d have 3 rings people make it seem like bron was the deciding factor onnat series and in some ways he was but when u look at 2015 vs 2016 they played a better team and if not for kyrie lebron wouldn’t have a single ring in Cleveland

[@statpadford]

lol but when people mentioned all these things during covid and that dumb ass doc stuff people were acting like he’s never done any of those things.

[@Pats308]

You guys don’t understand the hate until he f up your franchise…just give it a bit and you’ll see 😂😂

[@semi6544]

@@djkido316 -- This was a weird way to come at this. There are a ton of athletes who also give. Not everyone on the level of Kai but they definitely do. The percentage of athletes that give compared to the percentage of millionaire businessmen is a gap wider than the Grand Canyon so to shade other athletes was really unnecessary just to give Kyrie more shine.

[@denishyseni9291]

Mark cuban seems like a real stand up guy taking the time to understand someone and he really seems like he understands kyrie and his heart. Rare to find in people. Great man and he deserves his success the way he deals with people is apparent.

[@jordymayunga5529]

Exactly! Especially if you talkin about these rich NBA owners. They don’t care about nothing except making money. This makes Mark Cuban onw of a kind.

[@lv_lambo3162]

I’m from Philly, been a Mavericks fan my whole life thanks to J Kidd & Jim Jackson lol. That said …. I can attest to Mark Cuban being a great person. Around the time he got his big break he and his former partner created a non profit visual/audio recording & graphic design school for lower income students. I benefited immensely from Said school. They actually paid us to go to school! We had access to state of the art equipment/software and we really learned so much at that jawn. That youth empowerment program/school saved a lot of lives.

[@uria2001]

I wonder if he felt that way when Kyrie didn't take the covid vaccine. Since he was so outspoken against people who didn't take it. I didn't have an issue with anyone not taking it. I got the shot, but I understand it should be a choice or when people went after Kyrie for "antisemitic" comments. Funny how they change their tune when you provide them with something. I don't care if Cuban has these views, I just dislike hypocrites.

[@tomdiets5079]

It’s funny because he was also against Kyrie for not getting Vaccinated, he said none of my players will be on the team with out a vaccine. How quick we forget Mark.

Exactly, people are finally starting to wake up to how the western media is the most disruptive dangerous force the world has to deal with. They truly are the devil in everyones homes

[@walkrwalkr3622]

@semi6544 I guess it means something because he never talks about it. When the media were targeting him he didn’t use it to build up his character. We only heard because the benefactors talked about it or people saw him show up in their ‘go fund me’ page to donate… and the donations are significant. Yet the media doesn’t talk about it even when the recipient does because they want to villainize him. He knows the media hates him and those donations won’t help his imag, because it won’t be seen. Yet he still does it.

What I’m about to say is about me and no one else. I’m soo glad that I decided years ago that I would not go along with anyone just speaking negative things about someone who refuses to go along with things being forced on them.

Say what you want about Cuban. He was wrong about blowing up the championship team, and the new CBA. But hell nobody knew that at the time. But he goes above and beyond for his players. Actually builds relationships with them, and learns who they are. He always has. And his players love and respect him immensely.

Cuban cares about his pockets, he’s a hypocrite. Not even 2 years ago he was destroying Kyrie for not getting the vaccine, he was the loudest coach against Kyrie, he said nobody should be on an NBA team without the vaccine, then as soon as he saw a chance to have Kyrie he forgot all about the vaccine BS because he saw the dollar signs.

The media’s job is to paint narratives. When the spotlight was directly on him throughout Covid, I never once thought it was a reflection on his character. I saw it as: they need a target and he’s making it pretty easy to be targeted. If there’s one thing I would say I didn’t like, it was him saying he’d stay in Cleveland and Boston forever. However, he was much younger and circumstances change. Brooklyn was a nightmare but it definitely wasn’t entirely his fault. A lot had to do with ownership.
