To have Irving in the level he is now, mentally, playing, talking to the media, is a gift for all us fans. He is so well versed it is a blessing!
I can listen to him all day. If he doesn't become a major media analyst or commentator, somebody will be dropping the ball
Gaff is such a likable dude. Amazing pickup for us. Him and DLive have been holding it DOWN!
I mean at the end of the day you’re right, at the end of the day.
Most def!
In all honesty @@michaelmcintyre5016
@@michaelmcintyre5016he loves saying that almost as much as Luka loves saying "man" and "amazing" 😂
As a wizards fan I'm happy to see him playing well and winning in the playoffs.... He brought it every night for us on a tanking team. Y'all got a real one!
jason kidd is making all the right moves and decisions in a hostile environment
Facts!
Jason kid is a maverick legend, it'd be crazy to seeing him win a ring as a player and coach.
Man. Besides the mavs obviously getting better this playoffs. Our coaching also is going through their own improvement.
No matter what happens I'm excited for next season. Lukamvp coming
Imagine the time when people wanted him to be fired as Mavs' coach.
All the sh** talking about kidd, and now everyone wants to get on their knees. Never doubted Kidd once, when you put the right team together, coaches will always make the right adjustments. It starts from the top, owner, GM, making the right moves.
Luka: Umm…amazing u know like i said
Kyrie: 75 paragraphs with perfect cohesiveness
Gafford: “At the end of the day” x20
Kidd: “We cant take them for granted, we cant take him for granted” x15
How do you not like these guys. Forget basketball for a sec. These dudes are just great human beings. A true team on the court and off.
Kyrie truly loves Luka as his brother,you can feel his tears when he talking about him.
Their chemistry is amazing, beautiful to watch.
Props to the guy who asked if he was ok. Actually sounded genuine lol
Gafford and Lively are amazing bigs. Mavs GM really needs credit for putting this team together.
These two have been my money makers! 🎉
I got 5 blocks ? I said dam before he said that .😂😂

Lyrie Irving?
Mr. Daniel “at the end of the day” Gafford.
Teammates with Mr “it’s amazing” Doncic
@@adrianlim2633fr lmaoo
@@adrianlim2633doncic gets a pass, English is like his 4th language
@@mrpillows it’s not a knock on him. I love him and his English has improved so much since he came into the league. Just something he says a lot lol
In all honesty I agree with this comment
One of the things I like about Luka is he's not one to talk about how great he is off the court but will rub it in your face on it
He just loves playing, is very competitive but not obnoxious
He prefers to talk about Kai, Lively, Gafford which points to his true humility as he outplayed each and every one of them but he is their Leader.
Looking back for Stephen "A" to rank the Kyrie Trade a "D" shows his Partisanship and Bias because this Trade created the best Backcourt Duo ever and has given the NBA back an intelligent team-mate Kia using his Skills in a very positive way. He has also helped tone down Luka and made Mavericks a real threat with their nrw Frontcourt.
😂😂😂
@@willmarinac5201and Kyrie is the spiritual advisor
I’m surprised that Hardy didn’t get up there. There’s a lot of good questions he could be asked about getting a chance to contribute after not playing at all in the first 2 rounds and all that.
Yeah Hardy is there 3 best offensive player I would say. Pure bucket. He played very few minutes through the playoffs but when he took a lot of shots, no hesitation at all. I think once he get more comfortable not shooting the ball every time, he is gonna be force off the bench.
If he gets double figures he'll get his chance
He's inconsistent, many times offsetting his good actions with bad ones. Also is a weak link defensively. But what hurts him the most is his poor decision making always driving into the trees for tough shots, he needs to stop thinking he's kyrie and he will do a lot better
@@Benedict_Savage yeah that’s why they play him low minutes but he has really good culture around him and those 2 dudes to learn from. He reminds me of young Cam Thomas from Brooklyn. If they need a guy who is not afraid to shoot while Ky and Luka resting he will get his minutes
Hardy isn’t a great interview. Still just a kid. Not a lot to say. None of these guys are college graduates lol….
I think most people would be happy to see a great like Jason Kidd win a championship !!🎉
He won as a player… with the mavericks… lol
New Drinking Game :
Take a shot every time Gaff says "At the end of the day" 😂 Love that dude!
At the end of the day, we all say certain words too much😅
and take a shot every time luka says "amazing" 😂
Hardy had some key buckets shout out to him coming out of the G league...
Before the series started, the way everyone talked about the defense of Minnesota and how big they were, I was a little worried if Gaff and D-Live would be ok. Man was I stupid.
word bro i was thinking the same thing ahahah lets gooo dallas 4-0
That Lively kid is criminally underrated! Super active on both ends. Star in the making
Celtics fan
he is getting his propers now!!
Luka so nice he honestly can't answer them questions. I saw space & took the 3
English is his 2nd or third lanquage. It works in his favor sometimes because he keeps him from sticking his foot in his mouth but his english subset is limited so he has to give vanilla answers
No he not. Luka throw up to many bricks shots. Most of his shots are bricks
@@yo3rdtier128you’re definitely watching someone else. He’s #77 on the Mavericks team pulling off clutch shots.
@@jjones317🤣🤣😭
As a player you eat, sleep, breathe basketball so these plays just happen when you’re a superstar it’s all instinct
Shout out to Jason kidd….i think him giving Hardy some key minutes isn’t talked about enough
Amen to that
Absolutely!!! Exum hasn’t given us anything in the playoffs. Stage to big for him and Hardy came in confident and attacking.
@@rastaman7140 both Exum and Green has disappointed me fr….but Hardy stepped up he’s getting good shots and creating shots and also I think the Wolves have no film on him so they don’t really know how to play him
I’m glad he finally started trusting him. I noticed during the season that he always gives us something when called upon.It’s seems to be enough to help in most situations.🤷🏾♂️
@@Lhunter1911 yea I seen him drive to the basket a couple times …. He didn’t make the shots but just the presence and the pressure he applied made a difference
The “free chicken” comment was hilarious!
At the end of the day, Gaff’s talking in all honesty.
You know?
Hardy deserves more playing time and josh green
They have a heart and mentally strong
They need to play smarter and calm down a bit, but they are great. I've always loved the Josh Green hustle and Hardy will be great with some more development and being able to watch Luka and Kai in practice must be great for him.
I rather see hardy or green instead of Exum. Exum shouldn’t be coming off the bench
Everytime hardy brings the ball up it scares me
@@Chiludo_88x THJ and Exum have been horrendous, which is a shame considering how well they play when they do play well.
@@philipthavenius9801 Yes exactly ,once they get more calm and grow they will both be crushers
They tired to destroy Kyrie but YAHWEH RAISED HIM UP!!!!!!!
The elder, wisdom love me some kyrie knowledge
Kyrie’s answers are all about accountability and motivation
Kyrie is a real inspiration. He should write a leadership book after he retires.
Luka is the MVP for the NBA this year without a doubt!!!
Luka and Jokic both humble simple players not like others
Cuz they’re foreign and white
foreign and educated
@@mohegansonthats why theyre humble? cuz theyre white?
Obviously only white people can be humble! "MF! You can't F guard me" is a great example of that!
“It was French and English I believe” what a line holy shit lmao
Kyrie belongs in Dallas. He gets it. Hes matured on a different level. Every man does this differently , sometimes they never but he’s 100% there, He needed to leave Cle to realize what leadership is, He needed to run Boston to the ground to see what he lacked as a leader, how hard it is n the responsibility tied to it is not as glorious as it seems.He needed to go to Brooklyn to see that “BIG 3” shit don’t work without casting roles ,bench players n defense n coach . Here in Dallas he plays a veteran co leading role w Luka , both let the egos down n now brothers…….I guarantee he’d NEVER go to LA with Lebron after he seen what a real team connection that actually works is . LA is just a mess w drama and Lebron will always need someone to blame. If they win it’s him if they lose it’s them !!!!he don’t care about team in this stage, he needs chips and the credit for all of them because he think that adds to GOAT DEBATE which he’s nowhere close.
Luka wants to share his role and takes blame like a leader when he doesn’t play well. He also looks up to Ky and wants to learn. Not many players as good and as young as Luka would allow this to work.Especially these young American kids that crave EGO, status and bein ‘DA MAN”. Many players would act the same as Kyrie did when Lebron showed up in CLE
I’m loving this Dallas team more n more every day.. Cuban took a gamble and won big. He’s made Luka a much better player and leader now w Kyrie in the mix . Ky also is better version of himself. Seems like a happier person overall . I hope he truly is. No drama but still expresses himself the way he wants. I never thought I’d say it but pay this man in he wants to stay…
It’s still not over though
Luka “I’m tired, too 😏” Doncic.
And playing injured 🙂
Thanks GA!
Everyone is focused on the game winner by Luka but Kyrie’s 3 pt shooting in the 2nd half was absolutely massive.
For any real Dallas fans out there Stephen jones and daniel gafford could be great friends.
Real facts
At the end of the day, the day ends.
Grant's questions too hard for exhausted Luka! 😆
Hmmm He's too young to be exhausted..
@@coxval2635this Era is WEAK
Denver coach "we were tired"
Ant: "I'm tired"
Luka: "I'm tired"
Pussy generation
@@coxval2635 Luka has been hurt since the Clippers series and still gets out there and gives his all. What's Ants excuse?
@@coxval26352-0
I wish I had Kyrie mindset...I would've been mad af I got everybody free chicken😩🤣🤣
Luka is maad cool. Tough competitor but humble and not into the posts game hype. Leaves it all on the court and plays it cool off the court
Mavs are good interviews. The positivity that Kyrie influenced is so evident
Mark Cuban is all smiles because he have his boys 👦 hahaha lukas and Kyrie 😊😊😊😊😊
Props for kidd as well he really coaches them well and always having a good plans, and been great when to switch players and when to use challenges. He's way better than steve nash (former pg too)
Because they are winning. If this series wasn't going well people would be calling for him to be fired.
Jason Kidd one of the best basketball IQs of all time on and off the court
@@coxval2635 that's a dumb take
I hate how people put the failures of the Brooklyn super team on Steve Nash
@@aaronrogers2905 been watching nets games live and i can tell there's a lot of bad game plans and switching of players that's facts
My goodness is Gafford charming. Hope he never leaves.
J kidd said everybody played there hearts out even the ones dat didn’t play das hard 🔥
This man singlehandedly put slovenia on the map.
🙄
At the end of the day, it’s amazing
Luka and Joker payed their dues. Ant man paying his for future reference.
The Big difference between Luka and LBJS Luka respects Kyrie ❤and doesn’t look down on him.
You just hating because Lebron let kyrie take over many times in Cleveland. And both respected each other. So what are you talking about
Black guys ain't sh!t to let the west tell it. I don't remember Larry Bird being so humble. Oh but he was white he get a pass.
LBJS fans are just like Drake fans they’re miserable
Damn I love this Irving. When his head is right, he is the best with his handles to EVER do it.
Luka magic is contagious to all the Dallas Mavericks teams... Its already a normal for having magic shot
Whhy would the reporter start off that way with luka.. so weird. he keeps the talk during the game so weird to bring that up
They try to bait him into some sound bite they can use against him later, as the media always does to him while keeping the hype on free throws MVP SGA and the wolves' walmart jordan at an all time high 🤡🤡
I thought that was so lame. Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought that. Good on Luka for not giving that asshole what he wanted.
Irving played with 4 players that easily can b top 10 of all time ,bron,kd,harden and Luca ,I wonder if he can carry a team by himself
Winning an NBA championship with just one all star level guy is rare that why Dirks championship is so highly praised .. even Bron had to turn Judas on Cleveland after 6-7 seasons to team up w 2 other HOFers in MIA and even then he lost that first season to DAL in the finals and didn’t win his first ring till the next season
The Mavs are up 2 games, but this series is far from over. Especially since jackass Charles Barkley predicted a sweep.
Fr😂. All these guys jumping the gun. If you didn't predict mavs 4-0 then don't say it now lol. Real ones know this is gonna be a battle until a team actually gets to 4
These first two were definitely a battle!@@jjcometa9333
The pace, energy, belief and shotmaking they showed in the last 3 mins of 2nd quarter towards the end are the makings of a champion. Lets go Mavs!
Time stamps would be nice :)
Any questions? The future of the NBA is already here. His name is Luka and he will win multiple titles. God forbid the kid loses 10 pounds…
He’s the weight he’s at for a reason. Do you want him to look like McDaniels and get bodied by other big guys out there? McDaniels can NOT guard Luka and weight is the factor not height. McDaniels is 6’9 vs Luka 6’7
@@taylorscott2575 this is a common retort. 10 pounds less would in no way make him look like McDaniels. It’s like people don’t understand anything anymore. Hes out of shape. He drinks beer and smokes tobacco. Losing two pounds puts him at 250+ still. I know bout weight. I used to box…
I freakin love Luka. To be the greatest ever, something he can accomplish, he has to give up beer and tobacco. He’ll be top 5 all time without that, so it’ll be up to him. Go watch video of his rookie season. The post isn’t only about weight.
Losing 10 pounds, not two.
Also, I’m 5’7 and I own big guys in the paint. It’s not purely about mass, but also technique, footwork and instinct. Mark Aguirre comes to mind…
He came into the season in way better shape and got bodied in the paint in the first two months of the season. He was faster but couldn’t shoulder bump into those midrange fadeaways he likes to hit.
CONGRATULATIONS LUKA! MAVS IN 4! 🧹🧹🧹🧹
I’m all in for yall after Denver got clipped. Such a dope eam, and I love seeing Kyrie in a supportive organization.
Unreal
Kyrie MJ Irving 🥇 MVP Ambasador
Omg stop asking him questions about Luka!!!
It’s like they’re programmed to ask other players about someone else instead speaking to them about themselves. They should ask such questions at times but they do it too much.
I think it’s bc Luka hit the game winner. Usually not that many questions like that
I really don't like when reporters ask questions like that opening question for Luka. They're seeking a sound bite. Not professional.
dallas should close this out at home. Luka will get more time to rest before the finals and it will be scary for celtics.
Rest? According to most of you 20 year Olds don't need rest.
If Celtics lose tonight their series can go to 7
Easy to say, harder to do. We had to fight for those 2 wins. I'm expecting an L on one of these next 2. If we go 2-2 then I'm gonna be surprised. Even more if we sweep them but very unlikely
@@coxval2635he’s playing injured not about fatigue
Daniel, at the end of the day in all honesty, Gafford
I didn’t know Gafford was that well spoken. Amazing!
What’s that supposed to mean…
@@ViralAuthority I’m a black male bruh so don’t even try to go there with me. But I’m saying he’s 25 and still young. U don’t see that many young guys in the league THAT well spoken.
He's being modest. " I saw some space" Naw, Luka put Golbert on skates and created that space. 😂 he's too fkn good. Very lucky coming out of Minnesota with 2 W
At the end of the day , gaff is going to say at the end of the day .. at the end of the day !;)
Genius move to not have a specific shot called there at the end. Jason kidd is gold. Only an ex nba champ could forsee that
Kyrie really has come along. Great mindset. Great guy it seems. There’s a lot of winners on Dallas and it’s nice to see. Gotta be mindful that humans grow throughout life. And learn from stuff. He has too and that’s great to see
Putting on a show....Uncle Drew and his Nephew!
Luka couldn't even think 😂
With the game on the line Kyrie Irving is the right player to have 😊
Well done Kyrie Irving, that's how the really great players talk about and that's the mentality of the winners who have selflessness and a fatherly attitude towards their teammates and that kind of energy is what turns a team into a championship team for many years to come. I love that the Mavericks have players with a high IQ and unselfish nature and that is what makes the Mavericks a winning franchise. Let's go Mavericks, we are a championship team!
Tim Bontemps was a hoser this presser about being bummer lol wonder if he will bring it up on podcasts
2 more wins on going to the NBA finals, who said Luka/Kyrie wouldn't work
The dude that asked the first question needs to find a different career path because he sucks! He can f’ guard you huh? WTF 😳
Yea he’s corny af for that 😅
You can tell Luka's basketball computer brain processes basketball information real-time, then he kind of forgets how great he is. Unless he's playing coy, not revealing his secrets...like any good "Magician". That would also be what a basketball supercomputer brain would say/do.
Kyrie shoes is the nastiest work 😂
At the end of the day !! Mavs are champions
Luka said “fasho” 🤣🤣
I said before this series started that i trust kyrie cause of experience and hes not disappointing luka is luka i dont understand why they cant gaurd him ,keep him in front dont let him go downhill
nice shout outs to next gen KAI the goat! trae young caught me off guard...JB and JT baby ☘💪🏿
Good job Kidd, he won all challenges and all were HUGE!
MAVS IN FOUR! destiny for God Kyrie Andrew Irving and The Don!!
lol Kidd cap on backwards rockn glasses post-game presser... straight JOCK!
At the end of the day, in all honesty, mavs in 5
Kai is so rad
24:04 don't let Colin Cowherd see this, there is a head coach with a hat on backwards
This team is just like the Dirk Mavs going to the 2011 Championship. They can be behind double digits and still find a way to win! 👍
I mean so really so a great great 👍 win go Mavs!!!!!!!!!
Win a championship for Dallas cause the Cowgals keep choking!!!
All mavs players are super smart!!!
I admire Ky always giving cred. Big up's to Luka, rookie, Lively and so many others. Yeah say it Ky. He makes it sound like he's 38. He's capping. I'm glad he said he's played w a few good players. Lebum was nothing w/o Kyrie. So that chicken need to stop. Bum didn't win w/o Ky. I like how he takes accountable. That's something Bum has never done and it reflect in 21 seasons w the face and others winning games for him. AD, Ray Allen, Ky and he has never won the final shot for him to be the face. We'll he can speak more than one language. Good for him. That's his first language and he should be proud. His Tam mates r cool so stfu news man! I'm so proud of these young players on all teams. Lakers needs to get rid of Bum. They have helped along and created for him, but he is no better than other greats and I'm just proud of these young guys playing now. Bum is holding the Lakers back.
Gafford sounds just like Trip Lee
Kyrie Irving is better without Kevin durcant 😊
Nobody:
Gafford: At the end of the day At the end of the day At the end of the day
What happened to Towns last night? Only 26 minutes. Is his knee bothering him? If so, it's over. Naz Reid was spectacular, but he can't do that every night. Towns is the one who keeps them in the game when they are out of rhythm.
Good humans!
Jason Kidd from elite PG to Coach. Players to Players Trust 💪🏽My Mavs will winning 3 champions in the next 5 years Super Young Team open that wallet all in with my Mavs if Luka Knee survives 😅
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUKA AND LJ BEST SAID BY KIDD LUKA DONT RUN ON CLUTCH TIME LJ SELECTIVELY RUN FROM IT
I wish luka had a better response for the 1st reporter
wish the cap was way bigger cuz all these guys deserve to be paid
Daniel “in all honesty” Gafford
