Yeah that tends to happen when THE MEDIA focuses on off court issues bc they wanna report gossip like tmz instead of sports. Local media in Dallas has had sense enough to ignore everything else and only focus on basketball. The national media ignores him until they can't anymore, hence this segment.
" And those seen dancing were called insane by those who could not hear the music " said Nietzsche. Kyrie dances to the beat of his own drum and this leads to him being misunderstood by people who never take the time to understand his point of view.
Finally ESPN is giving Mavericks and LuKai the recognition they deserve. Winning does make a difference 🤣 can wait to see Mavericks in the playoff with the Scariest duo in the league. PS: Actually Iverson’s favorite player is Luka. He has said it many times.
Bro, what’s their defensive record, they 12th overall for the season and 7th since January, people like u who don’t watch basketball are the ones who take one game and say they can’t play defense, but you haven’t been watching much, ur just like Steven A and Shannon, they don’t watch enough basketball
they really aren't. Mavs wouldn't get more than one game in a playoff series against Denver. Denver didn't show up to most of this regular season game and still almost won
Watch the game the nuggets down 12 and boom like that took the lead, Murray messed up the last play. The nuggets are coasting they are dangerous number 1 in clutch defense and offense look how fast they tied the game
Kyrie movements are like some magical time shift/ phase-shift. Its a change of speed, seemingly in mid stride/ mid-air etc... see X-Men's "Nightcrawler" Truly amazing As a Mavs fan, who is only just now seeing him play. Its something new every night. Been watching the NBA since the 80s. Never seen this before. To have the elder Jedi, teaching the younger Jedi, being coached by the Master Jedi, its truly a blessing to be a Mavs fan rn, an NBA fan at that.

Always stand up for your beliefs, this is the same media that ridiculed him and tried to break Kyrie a few short years ago. People forget and times change but you have to live with your choices. Few were supporting him back then, I was one of the few.
Dry-fasting is actually easier to do than just water fasting imo, you don't get hungry. I would not be surprised if the energy not being used to digest food gives his body more responsiveness so he can pull off what he usually does with even more precision.
The nuggets feel pretty inevitable. They are coasting right now and still look amazing, not to mention they step it up to another level come the playoffs.
