Stephen A. smith : “Would you like a glass of water?”
Kyrie : “I was just patient in my approach”
Max : "Kyrie, did you get traded to the Celtics?"
Kyrie : "Ultimately, it's my decision."

@@user-kx5pd4jo3t" putting things into perspective for the truthful environment it is"
When youre writing an essay and just trying to reach the word limit
underrated comment lol
Big facts😂😂😂
HAHAHAAHA
That weird smile he has while listening to the question is like when you "accidentally" triple space on the last few pages. 5 pages is a long journey when your essay is due in 3hrs
That’s how he always speaks its so annoying
This is almost impressive how he manages to say so much without saying literally anything at all
same
@Kemohr Sesay this is what we call being fake.
@Kemohr Sesay he’s not smart at all, contradicting himself in literally every response
@@314shorts Nah you just a hater and you wanted him to stay in Cleveland
@@yungkb3x I’m not from Cleveland lol I don’t care where he goes, but he sucks as a person and isn’t very bright it seems. Damian Lillard is my favorite player by far, you don’t see him acting a fool like Kyrie, Dame is probably far smarter than Kyrie
"Kyrie whats your favourite pizza?"
"Well when you put things into perspective and look at it from a professional point of view and consider all different kinds of pizzas and various toppings that go on that type of food, as a man willing to make his own decisions I come to the conclusion that it doesn`t really matter what kind of pizza you eat as long as you stay humble in your approach"
🤣🤣
He is using word 🥗 🤣 dude wont answer the question
Hilarious
😭😭🤣
😂🤣
Used his handles during the interview to dribble past the questions 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
So true😂😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂 but also get's annoyed when the direct questions are asked the whole world wanted to know 🤦🏾♂️
He dug himself a hole, panicked and began to pace himself moving about in circles just like kids play Tetherball at the playground. Kyrie didn't know what in the heck he was even responding to. He seemed to be impaired in some manner.
He could have ended it and responded in this manner short and sweet: 'The moment Lebron hypothetically put me on the trading block, in which he laterally did, he betrayed me so it was over. I was not going to allow for somebody else to dictate what my future was going to ultimately be. It was over.'
That's what i would like to have heard from Kyrie. Lebron wanted to trade him, so he realized he was an expendable asset and wasn't going to get turnt like that.
Leo Kyrie is a very 3 dimensional individual. He made Max look like a fool a number of times. What you WANT from him was not given.... KL does the same thing and people used to call him SLOW..... normal people are so dense and can’t analyze anything that they are seeing
Who’s here watching in 2024 before the finals vs Celtics
This went on my recommendations. 😂
Oh yes the interview where Kyrie said Absolutely nothing lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said a lot if you read in between the lines... what he said to lebron and everyone else is exactly what KD said to westbrook.
@@darkwingduck315 like read between the lines like I said lol he said a whole lot of nothing
he didnt say much but he told a lot
He did it on purpose I feel like he understands the people around him just want to make headlines off his every word so he gave them smoke screens and they persisted yet he didn’t budge.
Is your name Kyrie Irving?
Kyrie Irving: It's not really about names...
What?
That was great!
😂😂😂😂
@@jamesbrown1482 exactly how the interview went, dodging questions left and right. Kyrie a clown
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bomboclate6191 Why are you hating even the way he dodges questions shows he’s an artist. Matter of fact his name isn’t kyrie anymore it’s “the artist” So it really Isn’t about names.
Kyrie would be fire at job interviews 😂
😭
💀💀💀💀
@Allsmoke 23 deadass get every job, saying a lot and you’d like what
Bro if I was hiring this dude would never be communicating with again
Yeah, if the employer is a absolute idiot
Max came on and got straight to it 😂
Max had him on the ropes!!!
bruh Max dont give af 😂
Ya came on and got to say nothing just like ky🤭😂🤣
And kyrie gave him BS😂😂
From the minute I seen his face pop up on the side I knew he was gonna get Kyrie 😂
An absolute masterpiece performance in evading questions.
I remember when this interview initially happened I thought man he said a whole Lotta nothing and now re-watching it I still think the same
so ture kyrie just a dumbass trying to sound smart
Big fax 🤦🏾♂️😆😆😆 dude is one confusing individual 😂
Dammmm you said a mouth full
Facts
😂😂😂😂
Question: How is your day?
Kyrie: what is a day?
😂😂😂😂😂
Kyrie: it's not about day or night. I don't very caught up in black or white thinking. Just sit back and watch our art.
hof question avoider
This might be the greatest interview I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
Max: does leaving Cleveland give you a better shot at winning a championship?
Kyrie: looking at things from a perpective, its a truthful environment and i wasnt getting that
Greatest non-answer I've ever heard
What an absolute waste of an interview 🤦🏽♂️
Makes sense why him and kd are on the same team now
Facts
😂😂😂😂
Cause they smart... be way more than we see going on these team owners the real snakes
@@zelfacedatechface7412 not bro! Kyrie is smart but not on this point! He had a big ego! On that time Lebron went to cleveland and helped him to be better ( he worked hard too) and his career went up! So he didnt want to be the 2nd guy, he thought he could do it himself, then he went to boston and had to deal with players with the same mentality he had and not doing all to win, so he then saw how hard it is to be a leader, called lebron, told him he is sorry for acting that way and now went to a place he does not have that job and can worry only about basketball
@@brandonanderson117 no bro, I dont think thats how kyrie is, but on that moment he was on that ego! He really thought he could be the leader while been the best player. I am not saying like kyrie is a bad person or something but on that moment the reason he requested a trade it was not because of basketball, it was Because he wanted to be the main guy not the 2nd guy, he saw his mistake and thats why he went to the nets with KD, Because he saw that its not that easy and that at the end you cant do it alone
5:42 i expect my girl to say this at my funeral
😂 foooooooooor what son? I’m jp
😂😂😂
😂
Epic
@@TheOldGamingChannelChallenges why did you edit your comment? Did you start the comment before watching the whole video? Your generation is no patience if that's what it is because I see it happening all the time.. 2 ears one mouth, that means listen more than you speak
He's as elusive on the court as he is in this interview
He elsusive but he ain't THAT elusive on the court lol
Looool
Doesn't want to be lebron James teamate, now he's Durants
Durant is passive and shys away from the spotlight. Lebron wants all the smoke
Okie Dokie thats why his teammates bail him out during crunch time in the 4th quarter in the finals right
Forced to take a picture with my wifes son lets see how he likes it with a guy that’s not pass first
Forced to take a picture with my wifes son same reason why kobe needed Robert horry, d fisher, and various others to bail him out. Same with Jordan and Duncan nothing new here. You must be one of them dudes who hates bron it’s that simple
@Republicans for Biden bro you the only gay here, at that time kyrie wanted to play alone as a leader, no lebron, no durant, nobody, he been the leader and been the best player, he then saw it was not that easy! And then wanted to have another top player with him! He even told press he called lebron to say sorry for the way he acted
Kyrie look like a depressed anime character 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Indeed.
still better than your daddy
@@northbinolu7971 nah i wasnt dissing him Kyrie is my favourite player
I like Max in this interview. He kept it real. Kyrie dodged everything
Max a fool man 😂 he got straight to the point
Yep hes pretty much admitting that's all it's about is who can help lebron
My guy just talked in circles
Kyrie great at hitting a word count
😂 underrated comment
Kyrie didn't know what the playoffs was until the king came home.
Alvin James the fake king having won nothing at all nothing since kyrie left 🤷🏼♂️🤣🌮
Alvin James Kyrie left because he knew bron was leaving and didn’t want to stay in Cleveland
Big Mike what has Kyrie won since the split if anything has team has been better with him off the court
Terrance Jackson ok me Jackson what have Lebron won 🤣😂🤣😂
Big Mike maybe so.... but you’re a “REAL” hater. A man doesn’t hate on another man.
From now on when someone asks me a question that I don't want to answer, I'm saying "I was just patient in my approach" 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Steven A Smith : we all know Lebron James is ah super star
Also Steven A Smith : Kyrie is ah star
Kyrie : 😐
Sonned that’s exactly why kyrie left
Okie Dokie and people’s opinion have only gotten worse
one of the most anticipated yet disappointing interviews.. dude said a whole lotta nothing.. those 2 years he wasted in Boston could've have been magical and special with Bron and the Cavs but he let his ego get the best of him
Manny P they just would have lost to the warriors again.
Perwez Said nah they definitely would have beat them
Manny P I felt like like LeBron was gonna leave anyways tho but still
LeBron and Kyrie woulda won at least 3 in a row if the snake didn't join GSW, smh
him and 2018 LeGoat would be fun to watch
This 30 for 30 is gonna be so good in 25 years
It's not even worth the time and money to produce it
@@jstdunLmfaooo that's crazy
The smoothest interview I’ve ever heard from an athlete
Kyrie did this interview like he only read the first chapter in a Kobe Bryant book.
explain lol
@@DSmith233 he's trying to speak in the words of Kobe Bryant but this interview was so all over the place with his answers.
😂😂
The biggest mistake Kyrie Irving ever made!
Facts ruined not only his own future but a franchises as well
Now he ain’t never gon get a ring again.
Facts. Give LeBron a couple years with kyrie. He would have learned so much more. He's great now, but could have became much greater.
Ya dont make sense. Lebron wanted Kyrie traded for CP3 after they won the Chip and he was ok with them trading Kyrie in a deal for PG13 and Eric Bledsoe. And even if he didnt want to be traded Lebron wouldve left him in Cleveland. He made the right decision.
BigBody Rico what are you talking about?? There was never, ever, a trade proposed like this lol
And we stand in 2022 and he has done absolutely nothing to getting close to the finals since this 😂
Now he has… he goin to the finals now
The person who says they have no ego, ALWAYS has the BIGGEST ego

Nah its just Kyries is into hermeticism/buddhism where they talk about no ego
@@SI10379 u fr
@@ishmlaldevontrious7914 ya thats my opinion
Not true not always at least it’s depends on how they say it. It’s the energy behind the words
Kyrie dodging questions like he forgot to study.
He didn’t dodge them he just didn’t give you the answer you wanted in the manner you wanted. If this was Greg Popovich talking like this you’d have different energy
@@kanarip8798 lie.. because pop wouldn’t show up to this interview and look this stupid
@@the77th wrong. He didn't want to talk about his experience with the Cavs and LeBron because that creates controversy and false narratives. He was actually smart to dodge those questions but I do agree that he shouldn't have shown up to the interview of he wasn't go to give anything specific.
Kyrie took the high road and didn’t bash bron’s character.
He sounds like an evil villain who takes over a tv broadcast to explain his disposition, to explain his reasoning for total world domination
Myyyyyyyy how the tables have turned
Bruh I still come back here to watch kyrie break every single questions ankles ahahaha its actually so good
I can see why he doesn't do interviews.
Big Kevin he don’t need to he’s not a big kid like Lebron.
@@timc5145 that aged well...
@@timc5145 tf are you talking about? Lebron is one of the famous people in the WORLD everybody want a interview with him🤦🏾♂️
Nah looking back at this interview I can see why Kyrie was annoyed with Max 😂. Like why wouldn’t he want to win a championship on his new team 😭
Molly looked dumbfounded at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No player wants play with LeChoke when he takes all credit for what you did. Kyrie made the clutch 3 to save LeFlop's legacy and LeFlop takes all the credit via media propaganda.

this interview just validated what I knew all along . Kyrie thought he could carry teams to finals by himself . it was provably that shot on curry that built his ego to to the point where its at now , but he was wrong Cleveland could have got got another championship but Kyrie don't wanna be a side kick so he went to Boston but that didn't work at all , so he said let me try KD back to the old formula ,but its over bro F that perfecting craft BS MEN LIE NUMBERS DONT
This deserves to get pinned
Kyrie really forgot he was a bottom seed on his own.
@Versatile Wolf nWo where’s the lie?
@@Nerdmatic type in kyrie explain leaving lebron. He talks about it
He really tried to be Kobe in his approach and jump the gun a lot earlier unlike Kobe with Shaq lol

who’s here after kyrie’s twitch rant
Kyrie should run for president the way he dodged these questions 😂🤣
came in, looked everyone in the eyes, and didn't backdown on his decisions one bit. that's why I respect Kyrie.
Didn’t backdown but couldn’t answer a simple question without dodging them 😂
bro you get it
He didn't know it, but this moment, at age 25, around the time he made this choice, he had actually just peaked as a basketball player and a teammate and as a person. Everything has been downhill from this moment.
Underrated comment bro
Kyrie will be fine inshallah
this ain’t true as a player he’s much better now.
@ninoescxbar7424
Guys been a team chemistry killer and a0 cancer
What's he accomplished since?
😂
Nothing is further from the truth
Here now that Mavs are in the finals. I am so happy for Kyrie, he has matured so much as a person. He has been my favourite player since his rookie season ❤
Bro really a junior Kobe in terms of handling the media 😂🐐
He basically just wanted his whole team and didn’t want to be second fiddle. He was smart to not answer anything direct seeing how those analyst takes things and run with them. I don’t see how people say they didn’t get anything from this interview lol.
duhh lol😂
But he requested the interview
@@brandoncoleman77 so?
he went from potentially going down as one of the greats playing alongside lebron, to just another star who can't lead his team. such a sad decline in legacy.
He will always be remembered for the finals in 2016
Exactly, he couldn't even stay healthy in those 3 years with lebron they could've definitely beat golden state more than 1 time
Jah * think how being from Cleveland feels what could’ve been smh
2021-2031 would be a brooklyn dynasty. Mark my word
@@jah99753 that’s the thing. Through the regular season lebron covered that up. Now it’s a lot more glaring how injury prone he is because lebron isn’t there to carry him through the season.

Highest watched first take ever!
This is when Kyrie showed the world that he was actually Auntie Drewisha instead of Uncle Drew because he & Kevin Durant are straight Divas who deserve each other glad they're teammates smh

This comment aged lik fine wine on me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just say “I got tired of lebron getting all the credit for coming back down 3-1”
But without Bron, there is no playoffs. There is only lottery picks.
Have you seen any team's success in which he has singlehandedly contributed for the most part? Ever since he departed from Cleveland, I haven't. This guy should get it, he is not an Alpha leader on a team. He is a complementary piece. If he is able to get it, he will have a successful sequence over the next decade. Otherwise, he's doomed.
@com4535 thats his job. Lebrons job is to be efficient, get rebounds, dunks and so on. Kyrie is obviously the better shooter so shouldnt he take the shots? Like rn who should take the last shot lebron or ad. Who should take the last shot. Jimmy B or Tyler Herro. Who should take the last or most important shot, Magic or kareem. Cmon man
Coming back to this video, he's clearly baked and doesn't want to offend anybody 😂😂
This interview makes a lot of sense...but when you trying to get something out of a player you cant force anything out of them.. Kyrie is his own man and I think everyone needs to see that... That for anyone...people go always hold you down when trying go to the next level...and those the kind of people need you move out your life...
🎯
Kyrie said absolutely nothing in this interview. He held the biggest L because his career went down a slope after this
This aged well
He ready win now 😭😂
@@jonathanlowe3767 you sure??
This wasn't an L at all. He's on a contender right now, and might win another championship on his own terms. Look at the Cavs right now...
Shot 50 40 90 after this interview
Kyrie left Lebron bc he was tired of playing 2nd fiddle, went to try to play the guy sucked, now he’s back to playing 2nd fiddle in Brooklyn. Ain’t that something? ☕️🐸
it is.he signed max contract.about 140 milion for4 years.if that is not succes then i dont know what is
@@M.Đ-z4u NBA is about winning rings not making money. Him leaving the cavs? No, not very successful... yet. We’ll see if he’s able to go further with his career
@@M.Đ-z4u I'll admit he is very successful in that manner...signing that contract was a great personal decision but from a basketball standpoint...leaving the Cavs who had LeBron James?...leaving boston?...just to be the second option...AGAIN...that is just plain sad. Even if Bron was planning on leaving he could have just left too during his free agency its not like mans 35...you don't just leave LeBron who is literally a walking finals trip and join someone that is even more gifted than you...petty..egotistical man
@@manmohitsingh4778 maybe hes happy with that one title and dont wanted to be in that drama about lebron?in one iterview with steven smith or stephen forget his name he says he wanted something new in his carrer.playing with lebron must be mentally hard for other players.probably he couldnt handle that more.everybody get after him like its their life and personal choices
@@manmohitsingh4778 I think he actually thinks he's the number one option in Brooklyn looooooooool
But when kyrie was in Cleveland by himself he didn’t do anything I’m confused
And when he was in Boston he didn't do anything either. He just destroyed the chemistry of the team.
I mean before lebron came back to Cleveland, kyrie did win rookie of the year and all star mvp and hit numbers of game winners against big time teams before lebron got there and plus he was injured alot he's first 2 years and lebron james didnt even make the playoffs he first 2 years in the NBA. If u take kyrie off the 2016 championship team lebron wouldn't even have his 3rd championships
jalen timothy wait stop it buddy there are players you can substitute for Kylie and the outcome doesn’t change. Damian lilliard and a few others. There is only one lebron. You ain’t replacing that
@Low Class Yuppy yes I did because I have seen more than enough of kyrie to know what ima get lol. You guys are trying to force credit into a mans hands who simply hasn’t earned it
@@raegansworld8542 Dude kyrie had no one on his team before bron came. Add some pieces and they would have made it to the playoffs atleast.
8:12 I’m with Kyrie on this one. Why would he need to speak to Lebron of him wanting out? He’s a grown man, he can make his own decisions.
out of respect? its called common courtesy
He doesn’t have to, but it confirms the narrative that he doesn’t get along with lebron
@@elitesnipa6534 when I left a job I just gave my manager the 2 weeks notice. I told no one and packed my things and left the last day of work.... you never ever have to tell ppl your moves. Like THEY say never tell your right hand what your left hand is doing..
@@hisroyalty14 Though this comment was a year ago. Lol, dude, leaving a job is not the same thing as leaving a team where people rely on you to be there. It's like did you even read the other comments as well as understand narratives. Like someone said, it only proved that he didn't care for Lebron and wanted to get away from him to prove that he could carry a team to a chip/not some sidekick. Pay attention dude to the whole narrative before using your life as a comparison, seriously. Moving on now.
@@SonGoku-yb3zm most jobs you work as a team... from sr leaders to the smallest guys.. to make it work.. everyone has there role and responsibilities that they have to fulfill.. so yes I can compare the two bc he made a life decision.. he left an employer to go to another employer and as a courtesy he couldve said something but he didnt. Oh well.. regardless of the reason he left he had the absolute right not to say anything.
Why did he even take this interview?
It aged terribly
He called them up and wanted to be on lol

Kyrie Irving: ghdegklgg h ffddsschkkmkkkm
SAS been hating on kyrie every since this moment 😂
This interview is so funny 🤣🤣
Kyrie totally lacked integrity in this interview. When Stephen A pressed him about why didn't he give Lebron a heads up/ speak to him, Kyrie said "why do I have to"... If you love and respect someone/a place, there an unspoken duty that you owe to them. Even if you feel like its time for you to move on, there is a level of respect you should maintain.
I totally agree and I’m glad you commented this! Kyire..wow. This interview is so telling. Especially with what we have seen happen to his career today. How can he say he has no ego but then make all these comments about himself? What’s best for HIM. He doesn’t really even talk about winning as a team or anything like that. And I’m not saying having an ego is wrong, right!? But how can he say he doesn’t have one? And then also make statments like you alluded to! Where he says he didn’t owe someone, someone he had formed a bond and brotherhood with, a phone call to let him know he was demanding a trade!!? That is all ego. Ugh this dude.
LeBron as tryna trade him for Paul George.
Not really. I'm not gonna check and ask my co-workers for permission to leave for another job so why did Kyrie had to get an ok from Lebron, he's a grown man and can make his own choice.
max had kyrie in a chokehold with these questions. Lol Love it
8:45 Kyrie Lowkey predicted the Max and Steven A split.
I remember watching this interview. Kyrie sounded like those people who tries to be smart, but actually sounds dumb and makes no sense. After rewatching this... i still have the same conclusion.
If you can’t understand what he’s actually trying to say then i think you’re the dumb one. Have you ever had a job that you didn’t like but you stayed until the right moment to leave? He stated he was feeling this for a while but he didnt let his ego get in the way of the bigger picture which was to win a championship.
Jay Colon the smartest people take the most complicated things and convey them simply. Kyrie takes the most simple things and makes them complicated.
@@tranformersaddiction he is still smarter than your daddy
@@Bleeze7 half these people on the comments just wanna hate instead of opening their (minds) ears and shutting tf up
That means you're dumb, not Kyrie
Max - what’d you have for breakfast today ?
Kyrie - it wasn’t a truthful environment
It’s pretty simple. Kyrie left LeBron before LeBron left him in Cleveland for Lala Land. I tend to think LeBron gave Kyrie a heads up about his plan and he moved accordingly. LeBron was going to Cali no matter if Kyrie stayed or not. But of course Kyrie can’t let that be known, so he let the media play out the Kyrie dislikes LeBron scenario.
I get what your saying and its true
Lebron was leaving especially after 2018 finals but LJ played 4 years total and they BOTH couldve left at the same time. LeBron, Kyrie, and Love delivered on LeBron's promise for a Championship.
GS never broke the original tie with the Cavs (1-1) recruiting KD validate how good the Cavs with Kyrie & Love were and how dominate LJ was and once Kyrie Left it was even harder for Cavs against GS. He was a major part of the team.
Cavs 2016 Championship is one of the greatest teams, games and wins in History.
LeBron (The Block), Kyrie (The Shot), and K. Love (The Stop) on Curry in the last minutes of the final game is what seal the deal for Cavs 1st Championship in 50 years.
It was a team effort and Kyrie apologize to LeBron about the whole situation on the phone and mention it in an interview publicly because the approach he took to leave wasnt the best.
Just my take.
Lol No!
Myles Bankhead exactly him and bron talked that summer multiple times.. the media is retarded
Agreed . His timing was based on market value. Had he played another predictable injury plagued season ; gone to another finals and LOST. His trade value would be less and a trade to his preferred team less likely . By allowing an alleged rift between him and LeBron created NEWS and residual marketability. Meanwhile ; both franchise GMs KNEW. They were trading damaged goods for damaged goods . Neither Kyrie OR Isaiah Thomas have contributed much ; since the trade .
You have no evidence to back that up. Kyrie said ,PUBLICLY, that he had to call LeBron and apologize to him because he didn’t always listen to what he tried to teach him. The dude has never impacted teams positively since he’s been in the league, they all get worse, plus he calls teammates out in the media. Have you forgotten??
Kyrie is smart person I liked the way he answered Max’s questions.
he answered absolute 0 questions and he's not smart at all
He also gave them no material to try and twist his words.
Brah he didn't say anything
Jamaican Mamba Twist his words? He’s literally got a huge audience who weighs come right to his defense had his words been twisted. He never planned on giving an legitimate interview.
@@saad1008 dumb hes not for sure
Bro, just admit it, you didn't want to be Lebron's teammate anymore because he gets all the attention, and that's understandable because you're a phenomenal player too and deserved more credit.
He couldn’t just keep it real, and everybody knew it anyway
4:26 kyrie says he doesn’t really my have an ego, yet the very reason he left lebron was to prove he could do it with out him...
They def shoulda pressed him on that point.
Who’s still here after kyrie and Luka is up 3-0 on the wolves
Was he high af during this interview 🤣😂😂😂😂
Kyrie would you like a glass of wine? Well I was just very patient in my approach 😂😂😂😂😂😂
why couldn't he just say: " Yeah, the truth is I was no longer satisfied with being on Lebron James shadow. He is an all-time great, I have nothing but respect for him, but I needed to take this step to be able to prove myself that I am capable of great things without playing alongside one of the greatest of all time." That would have been easier than just saying nonsense
Actually that's what he said , sorry to disappoint but he has other goals than basketball hes his own man on a personal journey. What's wrong with that, cant please everybody if you try you wont please nobody.
Hes never been the same after this interview
Dude thought he could avoid answering every question by using big words
Not UA-cam recommending this to me with all these drama going on 😂😂
who here from kyrie twitch
Lol everybody talking about him dribbling around questions yet if you really listen he answers them😂 dude been a classy guy for a long time
The old comments on this are insane. You guys trashed Kyrie, he just wanted a different experience
KYRIE JUST WANTED TO BRANCH OUT ON HIS OWN 💯
This aged like fine milk
U can tell he's a much different person today. Tbh, i don't think he really knew what he wanted at the time. Being in Dallas, I think he has found a situation similar to his glory days in Cleveland, and now he's happy again.
This is when the SAS Kyrie rivalry started
Whole time , I know they like why did you bring dude up here 😂😂😂
this is too funny now
Re-watching this video……it makes sense with all that BKN Nets drama and how they got swept.
Max: "Do you think that you are more likely to win a championship without Lebron"
Kyrie: "Well when you put things into perspective it wasn't a truthful environment"
I was living in the woods the past 8 years and recorded every NBA game to watch when I got back. This is where I am in my journey of basketball. I wish Kyrie all the best in Boston!!!
sheesh what?
