Kyrie is amazing. Dude had 3people on him, still dribbling, while at the same time looking at his teammates.

@pete fish this is a dumb thing to say

@pete fish put down the crack pipe

Best handles, court vision & reflexes in the game. Your loss, NJ.

Kyrie is a amazing player and have a high IQ i like to watch him play and address the media!

@pete fish stop hating,like you perfect at ur job smh

Love the way Kyrie celebrated with his teammates!!! You could tell he wanted this game.

FREE DROSE I always see u in comment sections lmao

@Nicolas ZYX there even sold out at arena

I want this #2 Dallas Mavs jersey so bad.... the coolest NBA jersey today

​@Ryujean that's exactly what I thought😂

​@Ryujean😂😂😂😂😂

A living legend man 💯 I’ll always respect Kyrie

Always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...there will never be any athlete like him or ever as good as him

That pass from Kyrie to Kleber is underrated. Passed it perfectly in his pocket to set him up beautifully for a quick shot.

Facts! Not only that but Kyrie drew 3 defenders on him including AD with left Kleber open

I seriously hope the Luka/Kyrie duo works out but there's so much firepower with other teams

@Beast Mode Yea for nuggets eazy dub

Trade Luka and bring the fire power to Kyrie

@drew and he definitely ain’t going back to New York lol

@Connor_Phillipz Yeah that is the issue with Kyrie. Trying to decide if you are better WITH or WITHOUT him. Sign-N-Trade is my recipe for the Mavs to make the Kyrie trade work

I’m not completely aware of how Kyrie acted in interviews with his other teams, but he seems really happy right now with this squad even though they haven’t been super successful yet.

@EbonySeraphim Ya got a short memory it wasn't the media started that trend Uncle Drew did. Whether it was the Gaza Strip or Jan 6 its been Kyrie bringing the 'about more than just basketball' which hey all good use your platform to spread information but when it backfires that heat starts to glow quickly

The problems are only there when reporters push and push for him to talk about non-basketball stuff, especially after he’s respectfully and kindly asked them to move on. In that scenario, he’s going to feel uncomfortable and possible get chippy. I think what he learned from the Nets (BS) fiasco earlier this year is how to better shut down and stonewall a reporter who stupidly pushes him to comment on non-basketball subjects he doesn’t want to engage in. He knows how to keep his composure and I’m sure will highlight the reporter’s issue more clearly to get them to no press. That or he’s better trained to “lie” with a non-informative responses, which is not how he prefers to communicate if he is choosing to do so.

This is the honeymoon phase. And Kyrie is in a contract year. What it seems now ain't what its gonna be next season. Kyrie shown us that way too often

No tax

Aside from the controversial tweet interview this is how Kyrie always is. He’s a great guy who gets a bad rap from the media because a few years ago he called them pawns. They paint him as someone that he isn’t. His teammates all like him and respect the heck out of him

It’s really simple, Kyrie stays and they build around Luka and Ky from there. Defense is their main issue and if they can learn to prosper defensively, the Mavs will be just fine. They have the potential, just need to learn to execute

@Mylo the Zoo-loving Scientist Kyrie sucks in the post season swept out every year

It sounds good on paper, but as a Mavericks fan I just can't allow myself to assume Kyrie is going to stay. It's not a knock on the guy at all, love him as a player and love the idea of him and Luka terrorizing the league, but I don't think Dallas is where he'll want to be long-term, even if we manage to somehow make a deep run this postseason.

Can't build around Kyrie he's leaving in free agency, Dallas bounce first round of playoffs

@Justsome Jusstsome it after his fumbles this game. Plus his obviously bad injury history. I’d be surprised if he gets anything major after his current contract. Like the guy but he’s too unreliable for his price tag.

Mark Cuban needs to read this comment

Man, it's so great to see Kyrie unleashed. Witness greatness. 🏀🔥

Kyrie looks happy. Good for him.

i feel the Same ^_^

Personal opinions and beliefs aside, he is intelligent and articulate. One of the best interviews in the league.

idk why people care so much about another person who they don’t know views and personal opinions…

I am very happy for Kyrie now at Dallas. I think he has found a home at least for now.

Ikr. I mean even if he decides to go.. he is giving 100% every game. No bs just straight up basketball

"KAI is a great team mate" - Maxi Kleber 🖤😌🖤

Maxi Kleber needs those confidence boosts once in a while and he will be way above 40% from from now on. It´s always like that with him

Its amazing what happens when team mates feel like they can contribute. Allow them to shine and you can function as a team... Not just a star player and everyone else.

Let’s be honest everyone and the mother thought kyrie was gonna take the shot but he made that pass and it was a great play

I do hope Kyrie and Luka stay around for the long term. It's cool seeing them play on the same team and as others mentioned if they can add defensive pieces next season then the team can improve.

Watching Kai play is pure joy. Mad respect for him as a man as well as a hooper ❤

Spoken like someone who hasn't ever went to work expecting Kyrie to be there doing his part. 🎉

Thank you, Kyrie! Your Basketball IQ is undeniable!

Kyrie was insane tonight

Great game! Mad respect to him and his team!🔥🔥🔥

Dude is playing legendary basketball. This is The Redemption Of Kyrie Irving, the man has gone thru so much. It’s time he anchors himself into his destined role on this team, a True Team Leader, A Champion and someone who will bring glory to the city of Dallas being #2 alongside Luka Doncic. This game was the turning point, Chemistry is offically built with the same teammates that have been together for so long by not shooting it himself and dishing it out.

Kyrie is a legend... Now he has a chance to prove he has learned from his mistakes and can make a team better.

Kyrie balled out. Hope this isn’t just a random stop for him and he at least stays a full season. Luckily Dallas is a pretty calm media market for basketball, which hopefully makes him feel more welcomed. Just honestly hope the Luka/Kyrie duo playing together starts to fire on all four cylinders.

Facts. Nyc media was doing way to much.

@Jonathan Riojas I personally don't think he wanted to leave Brooklyn because of KD but their ownership had already burnt that bridge when they still sat him all those road games last year. They tried to make an example out of him. Completely agree about the small market. I don't see them having chemistry issues long term. They are too talented and all want the same things. Time will straighten a lot of that out.

🔥🔥🧨

Would love just one full season with him. You worried about the chemistry between Luka and Kai still?

@UrbanParadise wanna believe that. But whenever I try to get positive with it, I remind myself that this is Kyrie we’re talking about. My deciding factor is really because he’s now in a small media market. Boston and Nets are HUGE when it comes to press, so I’m pulling for that he’s happy where he’s not gonna be hounded with questions that aren’t related to ball.

The types of shots this guy was taking... and making 🤯

His idol was Kobe! Gotta give him credit he’s a monster

Does he remind you of Jordan?

As long as Kyrie can keep creating plays like he did with that buzzer-beater, this Mavs team will be all right

😮 that last pass by Kyrie set up the shot perfectly. He aloud the shooter to set his feet square to the basket.

Awesome to see kyrie this happy again ❤

Good to see Kyrie in that mood.

they should start Kyrie/Luka/Powell/Hardaway Jr/ & McGee or Morris for backup defense, & have Maxi & Bullock rotate. Having McGee & Kyrie as Championship veterans on the court will be crucial.

@Parker Carter That s why they went to the Conference finale last year ?

Luka is the problem! No defense and he slows the pace down

​@Sensei AMA True👍🏿

McGee is too slow and Morris looks washed, JKidd likes to play small but this game he plays two bigs but the good thing mavs has 3 bigs that can defend in perimeter it means it's better to have those three in frontcourt rotation and also give Bertans a little bit of minutes coz he can really contribute on this team Powell, Kleber, Wood and little bit of Bertans Bullock, Green, and Holiday on 3pos Luka, Kyrie, and THJ on guard rotations

Look at Ky so inspirational. His Godlike iso prowess and ball handling created that play wide open. When he wrapped them behind the back it was a wrap they really converged on him then. Then the pump fake, pass opened up all cuz of Ky. Insaneeeee crazy shot made by bro tho. Nasty

@DARTH PAIN Walking away from teams is a pride thing? Nah. Sorry

@I am Groot! That's something to commend him for not hold against him

@DARTH PAIN You said Kyrie was inspirational which to me invokes thoughts of more than just handles and smooth shooting. Dude ditched his teammates over and over again for situations that even today are pretty sweet despite the fact he can't seem to build with any group long-term.

@I am Groot! Genuinely asking you a question based off your cmnt. What other things does Kyrie struggle with far as you concerned

Kyrie the man I hate how the media paint him as a bad guy we you can tell bro really genuine

That was an awesome audition for the Lakers by Kyrie.

I don’t care who the mavs got on their team I’m a dirk fan, and a mavs fan, I just wanna see mavs win another championship no matter who they got.

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference." --Robert Frost

Kyrie really threw the ball right into klebers shot pocket which allowed him to get a good shot off

Let's hope Kyrie-Luka tandem gets going now🎉

“Lakers not interested in pursuing Irving in the off season.” Oh man 😂😂😂

@wobblyopp they have 17 bro

Lakers not winning no championships 😂😂😂😂

You don’t really believe that…. I saw the way LeBron and the team were acting when Kyrie was going off….that’s just hype talk. Dallas needs a Anthony Davis….because Kyrie is not just about the money, he wants more Championships before he retires period.

I absolutely love Kyrie as a Mav

irving man, averaging 27 / 6 /6 on 49% / 38% / 90% this season. 3-0 when its just him and mavs too. and dropped 38pt on their heads in all fashion over the bigs double team you name it. what a joke lakers fans are, acting like they would be better without him because they had a couple wins in a row lol

@Kevin Howe Are you damm kidding me???? Who has a Championship period. Where have you been, oh my bad you just started watching basketball 🏀….LOL. - Get your Boy in Shape first before you start bragging on a ball hogger, no defense playing, always crying to the refs because he forced a unnecessary shot and want to be bailed out, instead of passing to an open teammate etc. Did you see how Kyrie The General did on Friday….that’s what Luka needs to start doing as well. Don’t talk to me about a conference game with out the championship….who damm cares

Kyrie has never taken a team anywhere. Luka took a g league team to th western finals last year.. just stop with th luka hate.

Luka can move faster once he gets in shape…he definitely has to get in shape period. I have seen him speed up the pace and he did good, but then he went back to the I am going to hog the ball for 23 seconds, not trust my teammates, give the defense time to rest and no defense. Those Guys love playing with Kyrie period. They know he has confidence in them and know they can and will make the shots period. Now the other team has to play defense on everyone and not just 1 player period.

​​@jay Luka could do that but they'd have to not play him full 12 minute quarters in the first and 3rd quarter. Even then he weighs like 260lbs at 6'7, which is good for driving but need to be realistic in that he may never be that player that can get up and down the court that quick

@jay ur right great analysis but the reason why im saying this is because of exactly what you were talking about towards the end. Luka is way too slow and their teammates react better to kyries fast pace offense. Thats why im saying that he should be the 1. But you are right he doesnt care to have the ball like that compared to other superstars. He’s pretty much a smaller version of kd. He can adapt to any team

bruh that kyrie pass was perfect he lead him to a spot for the shot

The perfect assist execution also helps a lot to beat the clock

Wonderful unselfish play for the WIN

I hope Ky stays. He seems happy in Dallas. And Dallas is perfect for him. It's a small market with little to no media interest in it.

Small marker? Lol it’s the 4th largest market about to pass Chicago 😂 but it is a relaxed media

I know they LOVE Kyrie in Dallas one thing about Mark Cuban he treats his players well especially the stars

It’s funny how they try to demonize Kyrie and make it seem like he is a cancer in the locker room when you clearly see players gravitating to him, laughing with him, and them doing secret handshakes on every team he has been on.

Kyrie must be feeling good to possibly end LBJ season

kyrie proving once again why he's an elite PG in this league despite all the narratives trying to tear him down. huge win for the mavs last night.

Kyrie looks happy and that's good for basketball.

It’s crazy AD top 75 and Kyrie not!!!

Nah AD trash

@Carniel Hakeem made the top 75

I honestly don't think AD, Dame, and Carmelo deserved to be on that list. They didn't accomplish enough to make that list. Tony Parker was the biggest snub

The top 75 list was casted, directed and edited by Lebron James. All his homies in the modern era made that list. No Klay, Kyrie, Hakeem, Gasol, Howard and Parker. But we got Chris Paul, Dame and AD lol 😂

Kyrie and Luka, both of them want success. Their BB IQ is high enough to figure out how, and find a way, how to get what they both want, and I'm exited about it.

3-0 when it's just kyrie, no luka. Should kyrie be the 1st option for the rest of these crucial games or nah? What you guys think?

@Coleman Branum I agree 💯

@Free Drose Kyrie is not a floor general. Those guys are who you build around. Never seen a team win with Uncle Drew as that guy.... ever

Luka has been so terrible on defense recently. His lack of effort and attitude has really had a negative impact post trade deadline. He is so talented in the playoffs it might not matter, but I hope he starts to show more hustle and expend more energy on the defensive end.

Probably, Kyrie is more of a floor general than luka

Hell Yeah my top pick is Kyrie (The General) period. The General’s experience, IQ, Trust in his teammates, work ethics…stays in shape and ready….Period!!! Kyrie Irving (The General) is who will lead the Dallas into the Playoffs and beyond if they listen and not continue to just play through Luka Period. Luka has got to get in Shape period!!

Im gonna say it again man I love that kyrie is a maverick ❤

That play was tough by kyrie & bad by the lakers AD Messed that up the help on kyrie was okay but still played bad by Schroeder but AD not covering the passing lanes and let that pass get from one wing too the other is insane

Some of y’all praising him are the same ones who were just wishing on his downfall not too long ago…please keep the same energy…

Oh go cry this is NBA basketball Kyrie done it to himself and will be lucky this offseason to sniff anything longer than a 3yr deal or north of $30m per season. Y'all in the Uncle Drew crew are so desperate to let him continue to be a professional victim even in a new city having success on the floor you can't let it go...

Kyrie is funny “ said yea I knew “ 😂

thank you for the hustle ky

Not forgetting the support cast who can't be bystanders. Go Mavs!

it was all kyrie he was doubled but he dribbled out of it and he made the right decision wow

they cant keep blaming kyrie when Dallas is winning when Luka is playing. More players get to touch the ball and be involved in the game so at end of game everybody still in rhythm.

As a laker fan I’m glad lakers made it public that they’re not pursuing him in free agency, simply put as they don’t deserve him and his greatness

Lmao... They don't seem to share your evaluation of Mr Irving 😅

Let’s go Kyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Let’s go Kyrie , let’s all come together as Mavs fans and my Luka amd ky the new dynasty

Luka + Kyrie once they click the league will be in trouble.

LeBron punching the air

i want only handle the ball and control kyrie i believe him to make magic

Oh yea kyrie staying in Dallas he looks happy they not doing nothing this year but they gonna build around luka and kyrie for next year

My LAKERS better be looking at at trading AD In the off season

We’ll trade javale McGee strait up for him. 🤝

We are so caught up in AD we forgot the refs used an excuse to keep a foul on Gabriel, while finding a reason to take away a charge and giving AD a foul on a good defensive play.

Kyrie!!!❤❤❤

Tbh, as talented and phenomenal Luka is, I think I know exactly what Luka would have done if he was the one there 😭😭😭

@Rye __ everyone misses layups he’s made so many clutch shots it’s kinda ridiculous for you to even insinuate he’s not clutch.

@Rye __ So wath your point? Jordan missed a open dunk, Lebron missed a open layup a lot legends did the same. i´m a Mavs fan and i love Kyrie to stay but he his not on Luka level and it is even´t a discussion

@Rye __ Sure, that was a gigantic, massive failure by Luka, probably one of his worst anticlutch plays of his entire career. Now, compare that one singular failure to how many game winners or clutch shots he has put up

@Taylor Hall luka blew a wide open layup in the clutch lol, he’s out of shape and immature as a player, he’s got talent but a lot to learn

He's happy because he won.Who wouldn't be?!...

Kyrie heard the Lakers don't plan on pursuing him for Russell, he said "Oh really? Bet" Lol

lol he was probably thinking that

Yoooooo my guy kyrie I can't believe the game has disrespected you soooo much,,,, shoe deals and contracts!!!! Mark cuban gotta get it done I know he will!!! He said it felt like he had three defenders on him ,, speed cat kyrie I swear

Kyrie is so cool.

Way to hit the open guys Kyrie, Lebron would have tried to force that shot for himself

The lakers are playing mind games don’t worry he’s coming

Hope he stays in Dallas.... Him and Luka can get a chip together... Especially if they get a coupe defensive stoppers one wing and one Big

They could do that this offseason

Love that Kyrie wears The Ankh.

He knew he was just getting started

I love D-Lo but it’s levels to this!! Lakers if you have a chance to sign Kyrie this summer don’t be stupid…

Can you imagine Kyrie, LeBron and AD - The General (Kyrie) leading this Offense….OMG Period!!!

@Beechivelli Productions LLC Dlo that 90’s Arizona with all the sticks and seeds. Yeah Dlo pak is known to crackle and burning sideways 😭

@Jae Barnes that’s rare tho , dlo really just mid

Laker fans so fickle. If D-Lo played great, LA won, and Kyrie played bad this comment wouldn't even exist. 😂

The Lakers stated they aren't pursuing KAI ... they blew it.

If we doubt ourselves. It can be of a loss. Not needed

All we need is Bol Bol to rim protect, rebound, and space the 3

they fixing to trade Luka after this game 🤣

I'm glad kyrie passed the ball to max keeble

I love this guy

I like kyrie playing with dallas...

Kyrie is a terrific teammate and competitor! I hope he resigns with the Mavs.

Brons advise to AD: Foul man just foul the shooter LOL

Needs to be in la

Kyrie can possibly have a good thing going in Dallas. He is away from the hostile media markets of NYC and LA. Things are just more laid back in Texas. Brooklyn and LA are very toxic franchises right now. LA has never been the same since Dr Buss passed away. Brooklyn has never been great since they moved from NJ.

Aww... is that what happen to Uncle Drew? He got caught up in 'toxic franchises' did he? How is Cleveland doing without him? Great? Oh cool. What about Boston? Even better than the Cavs? Awesome. Nets must miss Kyrie though right? Jacque Vaughn you missin him? Anybody missing him? lol

Damien Yuen ...The Nets are originally from New York.

Dallas needed a PG that makes plays pass the Ball not aPG that hug the Ball and take the ball away from Luka like come on man they need someone like LaMelo Ball a player that passes the ball. Like the Lakers had like idw 13 turnover and they still won by 1 freaking point 🤦‍♂️ he's ⛽ out but is good for selling Merchandise and tickets so I understand that part but the other part Dallas need playmaker that help Luka

As a lakers Stan we want Kyrie not dlo 😂

The shot was a glimpse of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf shoot under pressure and a bit of Steph Currie :), plus Kyrie is so supportive of his team member.

Except Kyrie don't belong in a conversation with those other two 😂

How is kyrie not top 75 fr fr he reminds me the most of Kobe than anyone in the league

@Zilla So other than long term commitment and high effort defense and winning as the #1 option and putting in full seasons...he pretty much just like Kobe? That your story?

@I am Groot! and he does play defense just not better than one of the best to ever play lol

@I am Groot! ok you a hater of course he’s not better than Kobe that’s not what I said how he plays his foot movements his turnarounds his clutch abilities his aggressiveness etc

@Zilla Kyrie plays defense now according to you? Smh ain't much Mamba in Uncle Drew 🤪

@I am Groot! how he plays man lol calm down guy

Imo either Luka or Kyrie has to make the sacrifice and play on the second unit just like what they did with Brunson last year. I don't think it will work with both of them on the floor.

True but we know neither are going to do that. Luka is Mr first quarter so should start and then bring Kyrie in at 7min mark and rest Luka at the 3 minute mark for 1st and 3rd quarters. Then 2nd and 4th quarters should have Luka play like Kyrie in the 4th where he starts but rests at like half way and comes back in for final 4 minutes

Somebody should've asked him when is he doing uncle drew number 2 youngblood. 😁

Luka need to play the 2 and kyrie the 1. I know it won't happen though

Now everyone loves kyrie. Where are the doubters mavs fans lol

They'll be back if he dips or if there's bad performances come playoff time.

Change luka to small forward

I have really grown to like Kyrie. I don't agree with everything he says but that's ok.

@UrbanParadise that's like 6 years ago now

@Life Speaks The flat earth stuff.

what exact statement did he say that you don’t agree. I’m curious

@Brooklyn Black Me personally .. no.. but you can't deny much of this world now is about a group think mentality.

U think ppl agree with everything u say?

Kyrie watching too much Yugi-Oh man
