![[FULL] Kyrie Irving on leaving the Cavs, LeBron James and the Boston Celtics | First Take](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oSQqsiOCIBw/mqdefault.jpg)
He’s averaging 27 on 70% with the suns that’s nuts
Its been like three games bro 😂 hes def gonna average more but its not that nuts
@@unknowncat500027 on 70% shooting is nuts stop the cap. 3 games is a small sample size but those numbers are fake.
@Long Dixtile he's more or so pointing out the efficiency not the points
@@unknowncat500070% is nuts you sound dumb asf
@@unknowncat5000 it’s nuts off the amount of shot attempts and points scored. He has a 80% TS. Even crazier when you look at the stats on a deeper level.
“Played more games against him than with him “ I felt that lol
@@ISAACBEHDADNIA shouldn’t be sad. KD spent 10 years with OKC, 4 with GSW, 3 with the nets. Both KD and Kyrie are early to mid 30s
Facts I thought nobody caught that sneak
diss 😂
Lmao he missed half those games too it's not like he was there the whole time
@@originaltroll7511 Why did KD miss games? Achilles injury vs hurt feels lmao... Uncle Drew got schooled today
Somewhere James Harden watches this with a chuckle.
He def the best scorer in the league stop denying it
*Best player.

@@ebenezerindi1766 Easily the best player
Might be ever honestly
@@postitrandomly3638 Best ever? There was this one guy who dominated the NBA in the 1990's who might disagree with that.
What a great dude giving the bench and DA credit right off the bat!
I was thinking same thing bro. He dabbed up Ish and TC, they made big shots in that 4th qtr.
U couldn’t wait to d ride smh
@@Chance007y’all call anything not hating dickriding
@@Chance007 u the only one dickriding
I'm a Nets fan and I just want this man to be happy
Same here🙌🏿
Take care of the twins for us Suns fans ❤️
Of The "Big 3" he's the only one I'm cool with winning again, I still won't forget he abandoned his team to run to another man's team.
He's the only star from the Nets i'm still rooting for
KD really just appreciates being part of a good team. Not a big 3, not a good starting 5, a good TEAM. Through in and through out. And he’s finally getting it back
No he doesn’t or else he wouldn’t have let the warriors
@@josenunez611 facts
@@josenunez611 KD wanna prove he can win without Warriors
Some could argue KD is still part of a big3. CP3 and Booker ain’t scrubs
@@josenunez611 Warriors are yesterday's news. They are old and slow. They can't defend to save their lives. Struggling against a cellar-dwelling Lakers team without Lebron.
I wish Kd wasn’t hurt in 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 that’s an easy 12,000 points we missed.
Shows how great and underrated LeBron's scoring record will be when he's done. It'll never be broken.
@@blackpow3r 38 years is a long time but far from never. Based on how people sit games today. You might just be right
@@millionaireaffirm99 Here's the actual math put as a sentence and I let people decide if it's possible or not. There's nobody who is going to play 21+ seasons, average 25-27 ppg, and average playing 70+ games per season. If so, then they MIGHT catch LeBron's record pace. 💯🤔
@@blackpow3r KD has a higher career scoring average than LeBron on less shot attempts 🤣🤣
@@itshiho KD is less than 1ppg average ahead of LeBron lol. And what's your point?
Kd just wanna go out with a solid team that knows what their doing. He doesn’t care bout that super team this or that he just wants people who know how to hoop, so he can go hoop. Just a pure baller
The home crowds gonna be lit 🔥🔥
Yess I was just thinking about that when I seen this comment
I'm happy for KD. He actually looks the happiest and most relaxed in many years. The NBA is better with him
Kd seems happier and more humble now
He has always been pretty humble.
Bro he looks the same🤣
He left drama for a group of hoopers. Anyone would be happier.
@@2cents250 thats what im saying the media just make kd seem like a villain or sum because he joined the warriors to get his ring
@@2cents250 really humble on moving from superteam to superteam
I hope this match-up happens later in the playoffs. The effort these teams put out, if it goes 7 games, that next series whoever win will be something
it won’t happen if the mavs lose 2 games because if they do they won’t make the playoffs
@@haydenking7050 playins?
@@kwism834 they won’t even make the playin I’m pretty sure we’ll maybe idk I will have to check
The queen is still hurt after breaking Kareems record
@@loveofmangos001 Buddy hes 38, do you think he was going to be fully healthy forever
KD crazy when he healthy 🏀🔥
KD with a shape up goes crazy 🔥
we need 2017 goatee kd back
how this man do this good coming off of injury so consistently, I will never get it
He’s one of them best players bro that’s how he love to ball
KD is loving this, he lives for good competition , so playing with and against the best players is his bag.
He’s such a hooper and I love it. Doesn’t care about anything extra but hoops!
You know who tf I am! I am Kevin Durant!
"Played more in his career against him than with him" 💀💀💀
Turns out KD fits in better with guys who just want to hoop instead of being surrounded by drama. Who knew
Because he is the drama🤷♂️
@@jasondye9565 He's never been the drama on any of his teams.
Shut up kryie and Durant where 18 and 3 before kd got hurt player love kryie
@Rent Free • 35 years ago he just wants to hoop on stacked teams
I hope we get playoffs of Suns vs Mavs Clippers and/or Warriors so KD faces all his past teammates lol
And 76ers in the finals
6ers in the finals?
@@nydibs lmao imagine
Then you will see that KD is way Better than all of them.!!!
And he still will have no ring without them
shots fired at kyrie 😂😂 “i played most of my career against him more than with him” ☠️☠️
This is why he's worth 4 picks and 3 players.
Preach fam
More
I feel like that’s still not enough for the nets but they need to get rid of durant ASAP
On GOD
@@ND-OPS That's the best trade Nets could have. Good thing they did not wait on Summer. At least they actually got Mikal and Johnson.
Durant is in his mid 30s. Some retire at that age but with his skills, he doesn't rely on athleticism.
Guys moving the ball all day! Great win! That’s the key to winning!!!!
KD is the 🐐 of scoring and efficiency.. And it ain't close
Camera man over there recording chilling😂😂
Y'all wild for that thumbnail & caption combination lmao 🤣😭
Imagine these teams play each other in the playoffs in the 1st or 2nd round. 🤔
easy suns win
(it prob wont happen) But imagine in WCF
🧹
@@hendrixeaton no it’ll be close did u even watch the game lol, suns also play no defense sir. Warriors in 3
@@GoatFilmsMaker U 🤡 Suns have a good defense and they still won even though CP3 Ayton and okogie didn’t play well and to add the bench wasn’t great either
Still the best pure scorer and scoring in general in the league
Played more games against him than with him......cause when i was with him......he wasnt there half the time
Great game, Luka and kyrie were Awesome but my Suns were just a little better today
Suns 3-0 since Kevin Durant acquiring 🔥🔥🔥
Kevin is shooting 69% since joining the SUNS ☀️
About hooping. I’m glad 🐐 Durant is playing with players like CP3/Booker and coach Monty. It’s about hooping.
Cause KD is a baller. That’s the true player in a league.
My Goat
When KD is happy n comfortable he's UNSTOPPABLE . .
Great teams 👏 GGs 2 both
You can tell kyrie leaving kd in Brooklyn hurt him he wanted to make it work
He said he would’ve stayed Ben Simmons was healthy even without Kyrie
Such an insightful vernacular
It was nice that he said “we” like he had anything to do with that loss lol
The media makes a big deal outta them playing each other they don’t care like that 😂😂
He was suppose to sell the storyline. That's how you get big games and viewership. She did her part.
@@rustyjames5000 he check clears ever 2 weeks w/o doing all that
This is what fans want to see him and other players today rob the fans of that because their worried about what the media is gonna say. Its basketball
@dee see thanks to Lebron he doesn't have to put the league on his back.
You clearly don’t understand how Magic and Bird made the NBA popular…
Let’s go my suns , go kd man last night what a crazy match up between two ex teammates but I’m glad that my suns put out a win let’s keep it up let’s keep that winning streak going 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽🙏🏼
Suns vs Warriors in THE heavyweight bout! Let’s get it on!
Congrats KD 💖💖💖
I play more games against him than with him 😂
You will always be our BEST❤ U KEVIN DURANT!! Netta❤❤❤
Good job Kevin 👏🏿🙌🏿
If KD grew his beard full out, he would look like an Old Testament prophet. Put the fear of God into opponents!
Tf?
😂😂😂 I laughed way to hard at this
@@dvharmonee Right 🤣
Yoooo but why do I see it 🤣?
Go Suns! 🔥🔥🔥
Y’all know who he is😤‼️
Wow I didn’t know they had a rivalry
Kd is a certified bucket. It doesn’t matter whatever team he’s on. Just give him the ball & let him score.
You don't have to talk the loudest to be the leader
Might be a Suns Warriors first round.
GSW peaking at the right time as well.
Will be Hella if series to watch
Lakers just got yall
They just lost lol they haven’t been good at all this year but to their credit they haven’t been healthy either
KD has found a home finally
Durant really said, “new team who dis” when asked about kyrie.
Kd is taking over league
All I see is a walking championship.
Let's go suns🔥
That response was hella shady lol
Which part?
Not really… 8 years as opponents vs 3 as teammates
Nah ya trippin
@@BallinDay96 it is…8 year and they playing each team if am not mistaken 4x in the regular season..so that means he would of played against him like 32x roughly,but let’s say 50x as an opponent but on the same team it’s 82 games in one season..so it’s a shot at Kyrie right there!!
@@carlmars4911 2 times kyrie was in the east kd was in the west
KD
PEACE 💜
🌍✌🏾🐸
Words are hard
Camera cut QUICK from whoever came to high five KD
it was cp3
Kd is best in nba rn
Go Suns!!! 😤😤🔥🔥☀️☀️☀️💪🏻💪🏻
KD thrives in these situations, building an already estbalished and contender team. That worked in GSW and it's gonna work again here in Suns. As long as the roster is healthy, Suns gonna be a MAJOR problem in the playoffs
Best in the world 🌎
Duran con salud no es segundo de nadie
Warriors suns would be insane first round matchup
Warriors ain’t make the playoffs
@@Isoquant Warriors looking bad. They don't play any defense.
@@DIVISIONINCISION they literally have better defense then the suns
@@bambiboi3244 no they don’t 💀💀. suns are 4th in ppg allowed and 6th in defensive rating. the warriors aren’t even top 10 in those categories. a google search goes a long way… Plus they just took an L to a Lakers team that has no D Lo or Lebron and fully healthy too 😂😂
@@DIVISIONINCISION on the road..mug
I’m convinced KD is best scorer ever.
All these 2 guys KD and Ky wants to do is play basketball without the noise of former players and commentators who achieve less when they were playing or cant even dribble the ball...
KD for sure. But Kyrie wants to be a bball player, a cult leader, an SJW, an astronomer, a bigot, a narcissist, a 'selfless leader', '1st option', a franchise destroyer, and many more.
The Goat
Oh yeah!👏👍👍
this guy is like a cheat code. he scores so easily. i say rest him 2-3 games before playoffs and we will have a good playoff run
Wow he's played more games against him than with him lol
True statement
That celtics knicks gone be lit
“Played more against him than with him” 😅
It’s so awesome to see KD finally join a team that already had the best record in the league the year before he got there. He’s never had that opportunity before in his career. I really hope he wins a championship. He deserves this. He always rises to the challenge and never takes the easy route! Great man, great personality, on and off the court. Never petty, always rising above! These types of trades are what makes the NBA so great and so fun to watch!
Long winded sarcasm… but I like it
@@onmygrizzy2974 haha for real, really comes off petty tho
Did the suns have the best record this year, how did the suns do in last year’s playoffs, how many championships do they have, they about to have one this year if they are all healthy
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This sun team waant going nowhere wjthout kd lets be real
ESPN misquoted him, he said "it didn't feel no different " not ain't...
K.d's game is solid.
kevin durrrrrgoat
Cavs/Mavs: We won last time, let’s run it back, same teams.
KD: Nah, I wanna play
Dgmw the narrative guy in me wants this to be a playoff matchup for sure, seeding be damned. But the hoop and nba fan in me wants Suns/Lakers and Mavs/Warriors more, much better matchups imo. The former with the bigs, Bron vs KD in a playoff for the first time since the '18 finals. The latter are 2 of the most prolific 3 point shooting teams, imagine if it gets heated with Luka and Steph( but more likely, Klay lol). It'd be too good to be true tho
This game shouldn't been close Luka got a lot of favorable calls, and got away with many offensive fouls too
Looks so weird seeing KD in a suns jersey
Listen some players play their best against their friends
KD is the greatest player of all time. No kidding. He is the most efficient player ever and he 7ft tall.
They really still tryna make it seem like nobody mess with Kyrie and all of them respect and love him heavy 😂
Played more games against him than with him. Was that shade
It DEFINITELY WAS
Shade? No. Just plain facts...
Is he right though, i dont think its possible to play over 2 seasons of games (160ish games) against one team in that time. maybe just amount of time they were on separate teams
nah
Yup lol
KD is a shoulder talker
Kyrie and Luka are 2 wins and 5 losses in the 7 games they have played together, while Kevin Durant is 3 wins and no loses as a Sun -- the refs put Luka on the free throw line an outrageous 19 times and put the Mavs on the free throw line 13 more times then the Suns - so Dallas should have won this home game with the refs being partial to them -- KD took over in the last minute. Great win for the Suns!
the league setting up luka to be their next golden boy
That's what the sun's is missing another big physical big
"It aint no different, he wasnt there half the time anyway." - KD in his head probably
He’s playing with hoopers
Except Devin Jenner he better focus.
Remember, everybody actin tough when they up
He's about to remind us who he is...
They skipped this interview cause lakers were playing 😐
💖💖💖congrats
Yeah I like KD and it would be great to add KD to the Clippers and then get rid of Westbrick to the Suns. Then that way will be way better because KD is way better player and shooter than Westbrick and that's exactly why. Because imagine KD with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and tell me who doesn't want them to be a great trio all together?
