kobe901 Max is doing his job, Kyrie knew what he was gonna get coming here if he didn't wanna answer these questions he should've declined the offer to come and not come at all. But since he came knowing what type of questions he would receive he should've answered them. Max did nothing wrong here.
Kryie did not do anything wrong either. It is the interviewer job to get the interviewee to answer the questions. Max kellerman is nothing but a lame TV personalities trying to create fake drama for ratings. Kryie to intelligent for that... Max tried to hustle Kryie but got hustle instead....lol
Why tf would you volunteer for an interview knowing you're gonna kinda get grilled, only to dodge every question? After watching his interview I now actually believe the biggest speculation points. He's arrogant and wants all the attention.
He answered their questions straight up its just that when you ask the same question and expect a diff outcome, what you expect them to say.. That shit prolly annoying af
GambiT Lmao naw he is side stepping everything, but if you look at any kyrie interview you would know that's just how he's always been. He likes to use extensive vocabulary but never gives a direct answer.
Max: Kyrie, what is your favorite food? Kyrie: It depends... it depends on the view point you're looking at it from. If you critically look at the reality of the situation, the question defers on what side of the flat earth your on. The top side or the bottom. Its not necessarily my intent to answer that question if its monday morning. When you think about the question and put things in perspective, when you you talk into the mirror you gain social skills.
From what I understood- he says it was never about not wanting to be Lebrons team mate or not. Him wanting to leave was him wanting to be in a sytem or team where he can reach his potential. I mean, Cavs is clearly built around Lebron. All of Lebrons weakness has been mitigated by his teammates. And I think Kyrie felt he will probably waste a lot of his prime years playing as a secondary offense option and closer. And even if they win, Lebron will get most of the credit and byt the end of Kyries career everyone will try to minimize his achievements because he played under Lebrons team.
He couldn't say what he really wanted to say, that LeBron is leaving after next year and he didn't want to be stuck on a terrible team that was built around LeBron, a team that will not be able to attract any Free Agents.
Ray W Thats funny but true,he never gave a direct answer and Max was going straight in and Kyrie was jumping around the questions and leavings Max speechless and confused
@@daequantriplett7762 and what does being a free agent matter? Leaving is leaving and not telling anyone is not telling anyone, u sound like a deadly bronsexual
Scott Bennici well looking at the age difference I can see why they worked together and had a little relationship but not how people think they relationship was
Scott Bennici Shumpert said it best Friday on Everyday Struggle. Kyrie used to hang out more with Shumpert and Lebron had a relationship with JR, mostly because of age difference.
Jeff Grady it's called being pretentious and it doesn't make you smart. Just because you use big and special words doesn't mean anything. Kyrie has smoked to much damn weed and thinks he knows everything. Dude thinks the earth is flat so everything else he says is off base.
Like okay, i get that you’re happy and it was the best thing for you but its such an odd decision to do this interview and be so dismissive, especially knowing that this were the questions they were going to ask, he says it was for him, that there wasn’t a beef with bron but then acts so dismissive towards him saying that he doesn’t have to tell him that he wants out and that he doesn’t care if he takes it personally, aren’t teams supposed to be a brotherhood? You were calling him your brother just a couple of months ago and now you don’t care what he thinks? 🤔 Kyrie’s the type of dude that acts humble while also thinking his mindset and way of thinking is way above everyone else.
gpaul that does seem to be true about him. He acts like he's super deep and thoughtful. But how thoughtful is it really to say "fuck playing with the best player in the game."
No he’s smart for being dismissive to the questions because the media will take ONE thing that they feel that they can twist around and manipulate and have a whole statement in a different context
Max called him out straight up, "You have a big ego and want to win a championship on your own." Why is Kyrie pretending otherwise? Just man up and tell it like it is.
AndyB he's referencing ego in terms of thinking ones better than another.... not trusting ones instinct and shot (hence the reason he kept saying perfecting my craft)
since some of y'all refuse to read between the lines so heres the meat of the interview. Hinted to coaching- when he mentioned brad Stevens and went back to it talking about him not being a PG because he said things like in Boston he would get to "disect the defense". He went out his way to say things like that which tells you easily he wasn't doing much of that in Ty Lue aka brons offense. Hinted the organization - THIS PART HE BLATANTLY just said but then covered it up with a whole bunch of talk afterwards. everyone knows Lebrun holds franchise hostage and Kyrie didn't even know Lebrun was coming when he signed that extension. not to mention Lebrun has forced sooo many moves that have crippled the cavaliers in the future when he leaves. so why would Kyrie be happy playing for legions left overs of a team in a orginization ran by a bad owner? Batman/robin complex- that people think Kyrie is only great With Lebron. Which is why he was pissed at Kelerman because everything he said was about Lebrun and with Lebrun. And Kellerman himself only considers Kyrie just a great weapon not being a actual PG at Cleveland - this was pretty blunt Lebrons impact on playing - everyone says he can't play without Lebrun so when Kellerman was asking him about Lebrun he made sure to go out his way to point out kellermans old takes on the show of Kyrie. proving he not only disagrees but wants more for himself in the offense and couldn't get that in Cleveland. Also proves he watches the show and lack of respect due to unhappiness. - the whole damn interview he planned this before the playoffs meaning during the season possibly end he came to this realization he didn't wanna play but kept it low-key because the media blows everything up and he couldn't tell anyone because it ruin there playoff run and I can tell half y'all have rarely heard KYRIE speak because he's ALWAYS WORDY Like that.
lemar012197 u deserve hella credit for explaining all that imma huge Kyrie fan and was so excited for this interview but my nigga was confusing me so damn much I couldn't get what he was sayin 😂🤦♂️
lemar012197 Thanks for the breakdown. I understood the general idea of why Kyrie made this move and about him just wanting to grow and develop as a player an as a man and he thinks that he reached his growth peak in Cleveland so he thinks switching teams and the environment will help him further his growth and give him a chance to challenge himself as a leader of a team. You, however broke it down into the specific parts and I was able to understand the whole dilemma better. Thanks.
I can't believe people seriously criticize LeBron for forcing moves that will give the team some problems in the future. Who gives a shit??? There are teams like the Magic and Sacramento that haven't won shit in their 30-50 year existence. And people complain about LeBron forcing moves. How about LeBron leaves and and the Cavs will be a forgotten team, won't win shit with their shitty coaching staff and even shittier ownership.
i get most of your points but what's up with that "LeBrun" shit. you know the spelling of his name isn't a matter of translation or opinion. If that's your nickname for him that's one thing but dude's name is LeBron.
When Kyrie spoke of ego he meant he doesn’t give a shit about seething for a championship at the cost of his happiness. Kyrie realizes basketball is a bullshit job.
He knows LeBron leaving and didn't want all the handpicked LeBron role players being his teammates. Once LeBron leaves that team is doomed. And all he'll hear is "See! Without LeBron they cant even get out of the __ round!" Lose lose situation for Kyrie so might as well jump ship before LeBron. He beat him to the punch ... checkmate by Kyrie. LeBron never saw that coming. 😂
That is what is commonly referred to as PR speak, wrapping the answer in a pretty bow, dodging the question, hitting your defending with the dribble stick and releasing in their face, etc
Out of all the cryptic answers i got, i want to start a new journey, with a new team other than the Cavs, i don't need anyones permission, i don't need to prove anything as a Cav, i ain't waiting for lebron to leave next year and me be left with the remains, im doing whats best for me and im not asking anyone for anything, and i believe in myself and what I can do and i could do more and for this i need to be somewhere else. Simple, i could respect that.
kyrie should go into politics. just blabbering on and on about absolutely nothing and refusing to actually answer the questions that are being asked to him. like why even do an interview if this is how you are going to answer the questions? i dislike him even more now. he should be on the warriors.
Deniz Demir that's how his personality is, he doesn't challenge higher authority even in this interview he still wouldn't dare to say bad things about anyone. If he wants to become like Kobe he needs to challenge others like Kobe did to shaq, unfortunately I don't see the true alpha dog in him, I can see a co-leader but not a dominating person.
The comment section: 70% Kyrie didn't answer a damn question 20% SAS & Max were direct with the questions (didn't hold back) 5% Kyrie sounds sophisticated, speaks well 5% Kyrie sounds dumb af with his empty answers You are welcome
What the fuck school you go too bruh!? If that's how your professors sound, get your tuition money back for real. You better off doing online university of Phoenix or some shit. No wonder millennials are dumb as bricks. Smh 😔
Bro, lets look at all Kyrie has accomplished in his 6-7 year career 2016 NBA Champion Rookie Of The Year 4x All-Star Gold Medalist 40% 3PT FG NBA 2k18 Cover Athlete All at the age of 25. Imagine all he's gonna accomplish by the time he's 35
He is reminding me a lot of Kobe in this interview. He is trying to be Kobe post-Shaq. I don't think he is anywhere capable of doing anything close to that.
1. Lebron and Kyrie were never close. 2. Kyrie jumps ship before it sinks next summer 3. He is convinced the world is flat so when would we think we would ever get a legit answer lmao
IMO, they both were real and straight up with Kyrie & I feel Kyrie is still not giving everyone the real answer besides the fact that he knows that he wants to go to work happy every day. So what was ruining his happiness in Cleveland? Thats what he's got to answer. WHY!?
The reason he left, in my opinion, is because he knew LeBron James was going to leave. Why would Kyrie sign a new contract with the Cavs, when he knew that once LeBron leaves the team would be in shambles? The man would be right back to where he was before LeBron.
I understand the need to keep face and not create unnecessary drama but I think we would've all appreciated a bit more honesty especially from someone so articulate
Damn what's so hard to understand this man wasn't happy in CLE? If you weren't happy at your job and felt you would be appreciated more elsewhere, why not leave? When did wanting to be happy become soft or snakelike or pompous? SMDH
Ya wanna know why Kyrie left? He says it over and over again idiots, he’s looking for HAPPINESS. People forget athletes are people too... they get criticized day in day out . Some handle it better than other, I really wish Kyrie is finding his happiness in Boston!
Kyrie entered the NBA with so much talent and his ego grew even more when he won the championship. He want to be great. He want to create his own legacy, if he stayed in cleveland he wouldn't be able to show what his true potential truly is. LeBron has still 2 years to still ne the best player in the world and Kyrie is about to entet his prime. He don't want to be a Pippen, he wanted to be a Kobe. Pippen was basically known as Jordan's sidekick. Kobe was known as Shaq's sidekick but eventually got his chance to shine because he became the 1st option of the team. He wanted to be that guy so dont hate him for it. He looked at Curry as his rival but Everybody says Lebron vs Curry or Lebron vs Durant. No Kyrie vs Curry so I think that hurt him too. His stats will skyrocket nextyear because He will be sharing the ball only to Hayward and he is pretty happy about this situation.
For people that did not understand what Kyrie said in his answers he just stated that he just wants to play for another team and see how his talents are as a leader and where he can grow as a person/player. He has a motivation for self development.

KYRIE MADE THE NBA MORE INTERESTING WHY IS EVERYONE SO MAD?? #sixers
Kyrie would be a great politician, dude ain't answer one question. LOL!
LivingFor Christ eh he needs to be corrupt
lol
LivingFor Christ He also thinks the earth is flat
Listening to him is like sitting in a Philosophy class.
LivingFor Christ Lol, I think the interviewers don't even fully understand the content of Kyrie's answer so they don't question it.
Side stepped every single question smh
Arshan Jawaid .. Answered every question.
Benjamin Jeanes No he didn’t lol
kyrie be using these big words but saying nothing wtf
Miguel Ozaeta. Nahh u a slow nigga
his sentences make no sense - hes trying to act clever but acting so dumb at the same time
Miguel Ozaeta .... if you think he used big words I feel sorry for your vocabulary..... I didn't hear anything big.
It makes sense
TI ass nigga!
DAMN Kyrie seems to be "that guy" who talk horseshit during a presentation to maximise time usage.
HAHAHHA on GOD
Most of us are that guy!!
LMFAO!!!!!
Max was coming at Kyrie with real ass questions 💯
TheDawbog Kyrie was trying his best to keep it professional and not shoot off on Max to be real!.
TheDawbog exactly !!! And he sidestepped em all

He will never tell the truth, but we know the truth. Kyrie Irving wanted to leave cause no one else thought the earth was flat.
Kyrie has had great media training lol he's dodging questions like a veteran
Why tf would you volunteer for an interview knowing you're gonna kinda get grilled, only to dodge every question? After watching his interview I now actually believe the biggest speculation points. He's arrogant and wants all the attention.

Is it me or did anybody else not learn a damn thing from this interview other than Kyrie is a professional at not answering questions?
Hall of fame question dodger
Lmao!
I respect that SAS went ahead and asked him, flat out!
Quinton lovett the SAS are the best unit on earth, proud to be British
Quinton lovett shame Kyrie didn't actually answer a damn question. Just a lot of politician answers
Kyrie sounds like a white house spokesperson, keeps side stepping the damn questions!
Edward Jimenez 🤣😂🤣 So true
Edward Jimenez he answer them you just stupid and got selective hearing
He answered their questions straight up its just that when you ask the same question and expect a diff outcome, what you expect them to say.. That shit prolly annoying af
Yup... he wont say it because that first game is against cleveland and they would tear his ass up.
GambiT Lmao naw he is side stepping everything, but if you look at any kyrie interview you would know that's just how he's always been. He likes to use extensive vocabulary but never gives a direct answer.
Kyrie answering these questions like he's a 2k my player
Kyrie looks 30 years younger
Roland Bat I think he had to shave for the 2K cover
Roland Bat how can he look 30 years younger if he's in his 20's?
Chill Bill44 he had a beard on The cover
30yrs younger? you mean he looks like a fetus?
Jon Bernard Lumapas hes 25....
Max: Kyrie, what is your favorite food?
Kyrie: It depends... it depends on the view point you're looking at it from. If you critically look at the reality of the situation, the question defers on what side of the flat earth your on.

Ruel Wallace lmao I just wanna be happy everyday and perfect my craft 😂😂
He couldn't say what he really wanted to say, that LeBron is leaving after next year and he didn't want to be stuck on a terrible team that was built around LeBron, a team that will not be able to attract any Free Agents.
Kyrie just spent an entire interview saying absolutely nothing.... "environment of truth" wtf is that?? lol
Aaron Campbell meaning that nobody was holding Bron accountable n shit which is too much to ask
no one is holding bron accountable? he gets most of the blame when they lose lol
You mean he blames everybody else but himself when they lose.
Aaron Campbell 😂😂
Aaron Campbell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anybody else get the "the world is not flat" ad before this video? 😂
4:09 kyrie: "When you think about the journey" 4:11 SAS and MAX's reaction LMFAOOOOO!!

Omar Abu Soufeh Yeah. Man that was hilarious. 😂
lmao kyrie was looking like "i so hate yo ass right now"
Huge ego that guy has...
That was his EGO. Lol.
He won't say it but he's basically saying I wanna do this on my own and I'm tired of being robin to batman.
Y'all wanted him to tell Lebron he was leaving, but when has Lebron ever told his teammates he was leaving the two times he jumped ship ?
Stay woke cuz!
That’s true, when LeBron left Cleveland he didn’t tell anyone except for Dwayne wade like the night before or something
Lebron was a free agent when he left kyrie wasn’t
@@daequantriplett7762 dont matter its his career, and he resigned before he knew lebron was coming
@@daequantriplett7762 and what does being a free agent matter? Leaving is leaving and not telling anyone is not telling anyone, u sound like a deadly bronsexual
Yo Kyrie don't mess with Max at all 😂😂😂.
John Russell after all the criticism he gets from him I don't blame him lol
mikeyreid619 this interview trash he isn't saying shit just talking in circles.
Yeah but why?? ^^^^ It's not like his old team was trash yet!?
Shahzeb Nasir cuz he want to goofy yall act like he had to stay in Cleveland
John Russell can you blame him? Max is rude in his approach trying to surface something that isn't there just like the rest of the media
Max the goat for being real with kyrie
not many people have the balls to do that on live tv
Love Max, but he needs to fire his makeup person. Either that, or his weekend in Vegas got the better of him!
Just avoid every question I feel you kyrie 😂
Unkown Bih w
Damn. Kyrie a good talker
kenneth gates beating around the bush
Says the dude who said "kyrie a good talker". What is a talker?? Do you mean speaker?
he tryna be "professional"
stfu u know what he means.
kenneth gates It's that Duke education
Kyrie is a NBA professional he handled all the questions nicely
Kyrie looks like a Veteran Sports Analyst 😂
Why even interview him he practically avoided every question...
Vegasnightz why not? They can twist his words into something else anyways by editing out the context, they doing it on Twitter already lol
Vegasnightz they need ratings given fs1 is fucking them up
He didn't have a relationship with Lebron, that's the point.
Scott Bennici well looking at the age difference I can see why they worked together and had a little relationship but not how people think they relationship was
Millionaire313 Scott yes he did. He just tryna talk that tough guy shit now cuz they opponents
Brandon Jones nah no he didn't
BRUH, he says he wants to be happy!! same as KD i dont like the move but we cant stop someone been happy elsewhere
Scott Bennici Shumpert said it best Friday on Everyday Struggle. Kyrie used to hang out more with Shumpert and Lebron had a relationship with JR, mostly because of age difference.
Kyrie is too woke for these dudes. He mentally was able to not let ESPN get any kind of reaction from him. He's on a higher mindset.
Jeff Grady they don't vibrate at a high enough frequency to understand him
Javed Spencer Lmfao this is a joke right? God "frequency" like really what bullshit is this??
Al Bundy F.B.Z. It's not a frequency u see. Kinda like a vibe u get from someone

Kyrie slithered around every question
Neal Chauhan 🐍
Bro, lets look at all Kyrie has accomplished in his 6-7 year career
2016 NBA Champion
Rookie Of The Year
4x All-Star
Gold Medalist
40% 3PT FG
NBA 2k18 Cover Athlete
All at the age of 25.
Imagine all he's gonna accomplish by the time he's 35
Mikey TNF ' Cover athlete for the worst basketball game in the history of the world
Kyrie was dancing around those questions that boy choreographer 🕺🏽🕺🏽 is amazing they deserve an award 😂😂😂
Cavs was trash before LeBron came back.
D Money facts... 3 out of 4 years they picked number one lol.. Kyrie trash without LeBron
Matt Davis who did Kyrie have before Lebron u bum?
Killem Kyrie who did lebron have the 1st go around? Hell infact kyrie actually had a better team lol
Killem Kyrie the same team LeBron had who he took to the playoffs.. then Kyrie gets them and they was the worst
TrapxGod Leafy facts. LeBron was flexing in Cleveland, he took Eric snow to the finals lol
He is reminding me a lot of Kobe in this interview. He is trying to be Kobe post-Shaq. I don't think he is anywhere capable of doing anything close to that.
Kobe post-shaq wasn't successful AT ALL. Not until Phil and Gasol came
Don't compare him to Kobe
Nah that's just how u fans look at this
Glo'ed Up 😂😂😂
Shaq was older though that wasn't Shaq in his prime don't ignore that
dude speaks very well
Much respect to Kyrie. Refused to be drawn in and maintained his composure. Media trying to create drama. Kudos Kyrie. Good luck in Boston
His answers were spot on
1. Lebron and Kyrie were never close.
2. Kyrie jumps ship before it sinks next summer
3. He is convinced the world is flat so when would we think we would ever get a legit answer lmao
IMO, they both were real and straight up with Kyrie & I feel Kyrie is still not giving everyone the real answer besides the fact that he knows that he wants to go to work happy every day. So what was ruining his happiness in Cleveland? Thats what he's got to answer. WHY!?
Jay Torres 💯 they should have asked him what made him unhappy in Cle and get it over with
I hate when people give half answers!! Kyrie just keep dodging a lot of questions smh props to Max for asking the obvious.
Stephen A's reaction @ the "when you think about the journey" comment 😂
AYOOO KYRIE'S FACE AT 0:12 HAS ME GOOOOOONE WHEN SAS SAYS HES A STAR (NOT A SUPERSTAR), KYRIE BE LIKE REALLY NIGGA ??????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
stephan a should be more honest "YOU CANT WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES KYRIE"
Shark with the warriors being this dominant ain't nobody else winning shit for the next 2-3 years lol
Chill Bill44 Timberwolves 👀. Or spurs of LeBron goes there lol.
Dance you dumb puppet... GS wont even make the Finals in 2019... I guarantee you that
The reason he left, in my opinion, is because he knew LeBron James was going to leave. Why would Kyrie sign a new contract with the Cavs, when he knew that once LeBron leaves the team would be in shambles? The man would be right back to where he was before LeBron.
Damn, that man can dance around some questions.
Very diplomatic responses of course.................
I understand the need to keep face and not create unnecessary drama but I think we would've all appreciated a bit more honesty especially from someone so articulate
Damn what's so hard to understand this man wasn't happy in CLE? If you weren't happy at your job and felt you would be appreciated more elsewhere, why not leave? When did wanting to be happy become soft or snakelike or pompous? SMDH
smith: "everybody knows you're a bad boy" kyrie: *unimpressed face*
Is it just me or does he sound exactlyyyyyyy like Kobe and how he answers questions
lawrencejones83 I thought the same.
Both SAS and Max asked some great questions in this interview.
this is why i love first take; they dont sugar coat
"I'm very reality based" - Kyrie Irving.....then proceeds to claim the Earth is flat...LMAO.
Gaaa damnnnn! How has the White House not hired him yet!? LOL
Ya wanna know why Kyrie left? He says it over and over again idiots, he’s looking for HAPPINESS. People forget athletes are people too... they get criticized day in day out . Some handle it better than other, I really wish Kyrie is finding his happiness in Boston!
I don't think he found it after all haha
Peep Kyries face when SAS says he just a star lol
A Smith face is like .... What the hell is this guy talking about 😂😂
How Stephen a gonna call LeBron a superstar then turn around and call Kyrie a STAR right tongue face? Kyrie is a Superstar too.
Silky Johnson no he aint
People consider superstars to be top 5 or top 10 at least. It's up to kyrie to show us if he's top 10 next season
Kyrie entered the NBA with so much talent and his ego grew even more when he won the championship. He want to be great. He want to create his own legacy, if he stayed in cleveland he wouldn't be able to show what his true potential truly is. LeBron has still 2 years to still ne the best player in the world and Kyrie is about to entet his prime. He don't want to be a Pippen, he wanted to be a Kobe. Pippen was basically known as Jordan's sidekick. Kobe was known as Shaq's sidekick but eventually got his chance to shine because he became the 1st option of the team. He wanted to be that guy so dont hate him for it. He looked at Curry as his rival but Everybody says Lebron vs Curry or Lebron vs Durant. No Kyrie vs Curry so I think that hurt him too. His stats will skyrocket nextyear because He will be sharing the ball only to Hayward and he is pretty happy about this situation.
Look at Stephen A's face at 3:00. He knows Kyrie is spitting bullshit
For people that did not understand what Kyrie said in his answers he just stated that he just wants to play for another team and see how his talents are as a leader and where he can grow as a person/player. He has a motivation for self development.
Dude dancing around the questions like Gregory Hines
This seems like an ambush on Kyrie by these two hurt up they ass for their boy Bron lol
Kyrie the reason ppl care that u leave cavs is becoz u seems very close to lebron compared to other player in the team
LOHX Jeff believe it or not, Kyrie was actually closer to Iman Shumpert than anyone else on the team.... Same age, same draft class, same interests
BBBrandon GotHoes Shut your fucking mouth . Not talking to his teammates for days during the Playoffs ... Dont try to pull that shit
What the heck does he mean by "truth environment"?
I would guess the Cavs got a lot of phonies over there. Would that surprise you though?
It's just not a real genuine vibe
Lmao to this day I never seen Max Kellermen so Vexed
I love how Kyrie remains calm :D
Lol what the fuck is Kyrie even saying in his answers, especially when he answers Max I literally dont know what hes talking about
