You tried to tell this man to retire. Some of us didn’t forget.
💯 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lol frfr
About 3 years ago, under different circumstances. Kyrie himself said he needed to mature and is in a better situation.
Some of y'all keeping receipts without knowing what's on it and why. Smh.
You didn't get the point? He said kyrie is one of the best when He focus only on basketball. He suggest for kyrie to retire because he's not honoring his contract with the nets. See? Stephen A was right.
@@stansb37 he was always focused on basketball. Y'all that tried to destroy him weren't focused on basketball. From demonizing, suspending, cancelling... They literally had a rabbi and Amare Stoudimire on ESPN to destroy him. Look how they talking about him now 😂. Kyrie never changed
0:04 🧢 go check what you posted on your channel February 7th. You tried to fuel the Kyrie hate again smh
The media called Kyrie "Headache" "Team Killer" "Unlikeable" "Cancerous" and "Stupid" for MONTHS! Now they're all acting like we forgot🤔They owe Kyrie an apology!
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju !!
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju Let me give mine.. Kyrie I apologize for doubting your impact in Dallas after years of watching you walk away from great situations and fail your friends time and time again I am truly sorry that you were not able to navigate your journey better. Amen
@@deedeesmart1374 If you think 'real men' follow Kyrie action then you need to hang around better people.
Unless you apologize to kyrie we don’t want to hear you speak about him.
Many people praise you when good and hate on you when they perceive you are no longer good. Steven A is fortunate to have an audience for his nonsense; he lacks analytical abilities and simply follows the crowd! He makes it seem like his previous garbage talk toward Kyrie was meant to motivate him. Another case in point is his recent comments about Draymond Green.
He did bro
You being fake 😒
He stopped Kyrie's BAG!! SAS destroyed Kyries name and Legacy!! He is a snake!!
Stephen A should not ever be able to speak on Kyrie after you left the set after game 6. Coward!!!
Are you slow? He had to attend the Knicks game.
Human Being you’re a bit to emotionally attached to people who don’t know you exist………just some wisdom…..the term Fan is short for Fanatic. You should look up what Fanatic means. Do you exist as a Fanatic ? …….take care traveling stranger.
@@deedeesmart1374 they squashed their beef last summer and he apologized. But sure let's go with the narrative of sas is scared of Kyrie.
Now that you let that out you feel better ? 🤣
SAS needs to keep Kai's name out his big mouth
Ima start yelling "Ramadan Kyrie!" Before the shot at the court!
😭😭💯
Nah... It's not ramadan Kyrie we will see vs the Wolves, it will be JIHAD Kyrie
And he will score 9 points as he usually do
@@d.n8832 yea 9 points more than can’t man💯💯
@user-bk4pe5iv9s Iam a Luka fan actually, just dont like Kyrie
Kyrie at peace with himself and it greats to see
😂😂😂
he always been at peace with himself... ugh yall need to mature and see past narratives... its really sad
@@igbothunder-rv6oq Kyrie's continuous negative media coverage SIGNIFICANTLY impacted his image. Kyrie's name became clickbait, and the media used his name for headlines and ratings. He was literally the most Googled name during Covid. He deserves praise and apologies!
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju i agree entirely
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju 10000% nothing about Kyrie’s time in Brooklyn was made strictly about basketball, he got persecuted for making a grown man decision for his body. It almost became embarrassing how far away the media and the Nets organization themselves had drifted away from actual basketball coverage
@@CheckBallUp Exactly! It was the continuous negative media coverage. Kyrie's negative media coverage lasted longer than Josh Giddey, Brett Farve, Kyle Larson, and Dana White COMBINED! The media owes Kyrie an apology!
I like Kevin Garrett opinions very wise person
I can’t even imagine Luka without Kyrie and Kyrie without Luka now 🤣
why this mtfckr stephen a scream so damn much
Because that's who he is. Everybody don't act or speak the same.
then you don't know who he is and it's actually part of why we love him.
It’s energized expression not screaming
Go make ur silent channel
Cuz he likes it up the rear 💩
KYRIE GOT GAME
Kyrie got them hands! He will definitely out dribble ant!! And Luka! Shitttttt
The 180 is crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 Sad too
SAS needs a smaller studio or a better sound engineer. I can hear how empty that space must be for him to hear himself talk. We Mavs fans remember what you said about Kai...
He's probably hiring interns for sound engineering rather than hiring true professionals.
No this is not lmao. Kyrie would of 2 peated if not 3 peated with the cavs if he didnt get injured in 2015 and if KD didnt join the warriors. Even the warriors knew kyrie was something else.
Your Going off of nostalgia and winning bias. He averaged 19 and 21 points with lebron😂, this version of him is a better scorer, post up player, passer, playmaker and the defense is night and day.
@@abtocool6350he had those same skills back then. In them playoffs it was over
@@abtocool6350he averaged 19 injured 50% of that one season the next he averaged 25 a game the next year nice try and averages 28 for his finals career
@@catcusnate2804 I’m a kyrie fan, I know the context of that season probably more than you,he was coming back from his knee surgery from the 2015 finals and he came back around late January on a minutes restriction until they bumped it up later, that still doesn’t change the fact he had his best statistical years after leaving Lebron. Y’all niggas say his prime was in Cleveland when he was 23 years old😂, if you search on google your prime starts at 27 and if you look at his numbers around that age range they were his best and he’s still in his prime.
@@Jordan5s he had them but they weren’t as refined and matured. The defense and the playmaking is night and day and he commands more double teams now than back then.
Brooklyn Kyrie is a better version... Killer scorer
He literally averaged the same.this season pretty much 50/40/90
He’s more well rounded in Dallas. Definitely hit his 2nd prime hete
The reason the media really came after Kyrie had nothing to do with them damn sh$ts. Its because he dared ti mention the 13th tribe
But when Kyrie had the postgame interview after the Mavs got to the WCF you where nowhere to be seen…
And Kai said im praying for y'all
KG been a legend and Kyrie in his bag this year 💯
Kyrie never wasn’t in his bag!
@@lovemycity420 u sound like a hater on everything
@@Countryboy25 u sound like you just watch highlights, Kyrie been getting crazy everywhere he been! U sound like a casual saying he in his bag this year😂😂😂😂Did you just start watching basketball this year?
@@lovemycity420 haven't been on my basketball shit lately but who really cares tho 😭💯
@@Countryboy25 at least you’re honest
That's some beautiful backtracking SAS
Kyrie does literally everything
KG my favorite basketball player of all time. ❤
Kyrie is special
15 and 6 in a series is special? Name me one superstar that is getting praise for having a series where they average 15 and 6 and have 3 games of 9,9, and 12 points. Luka gets killed for having 22 points and 12 assists, yet Kyrie hasn’t scored over 22 this whole past series and had 1 game of double digit assists. That’s a great sidekick but that’s not no superstar numbers
Everybody's about to find out what happens when a Ferrari tries to run into a cigarette smoking dump truck named Luka doncic. Spoiler alert the dump truck wins
Rudy Gobert?
Someone get kg to espn immediately. He’d be so good with mcafee where he could be no filter
"RAMADAN KYRIE IS A MOTHOBLEEPER!!"KEVIN GARNETT COULDnt HOLD IT IN i love it
Mavs maybe to cerebral for the Wolves.
“Cerebral” lol you just better hope Luka doesn’t let the high iq play get in the way of his defense lol
You guys have proof of concept together. Time to make your joint podcast 👏👏
kyrie is a mix of harden and durant he is either going to make plays like harden or he is going to score like durant he is not on either one of those level at their peak but kyrie is the best of both world, you can lock up jamal and he wouldn't know what to do when you try to clamp kyrie he will still get to his spots and then will collapse defenses to open up his teammates unlike murray or booker
You crazy Kyrie > Harden any day of the week. Harden avg 36 taking 25 shots a game and is not close to Kyrie efficiency. 50/40/90 player with the best handles of all time and better 3pt shooter than Harden. Kd is different fasho
Harden can only play one way. Kyrie can play with anybody and be himself.
Dude ain't on either of their level. In fact he really not as good as prime CP3
Stop it. He averaged 15 and 6 this past series. What other superstar wouldn’t get smoked for averaging those numbers? You act like the games he didn’t score he was out here dishing 15 assists. He had 1 double digits assists game this last series. And had games of 9 points, 9 points, and 12 points. Didn’t score more than 22 one time. So yes he’s a great sidekick but you can’t say he’s a “superstar” but then make excuses when he averages 15 and 6
@@shofiulrahman8988 what other superstars can have 15/6 and still average the 3rd highest +\- off the series among both teams while having just 14% usage whole series? the games he didn't score he was still the main facilitator you probably didn't watch any games but his lack of scoring isn't his lack of offense he got to his spots every single time, the only difference between him not averaging 25+ was the fact he was doubled whole series which left other wide open the only difference between him not averaging 10+ assists he had the lowest usage of the starters in the team whole series
GOTTA LOVE KG..ALWAYS KEEPING IT 100...ONLY THE REAL CAN UNDERSTAND KG
Brooklyn Nets Kyrie is the best Kyrie easily
Ramadan Kyrie was a MFer!!! best quote from KG all time.
Stephen you say he should retire you forget
i know he can't Ant is good but he is no Luka! Luka is on another level
Facts. Ant has the better supporting cast, but luka is on another level compared to ant
When not bitching to refs. Should follow a page out of Kyrie’s & Ant’s book on that end. Shits starting to drag his teams morale and the games don’t even be out of reach when he’s bitching. Still close games if you just FOCUS Luka.
This is the type stuff that push a man to being #1 for a couple yrs.
2:53 best part
Dat moment when SAS hates Luka so much he starts talking positively about Kyrie and legit gaslighting everyone into "Kyrie's Mavericks" narrative.
Kevin Garnett is a great vivid speaker
SAS is a joke.from being the biggest hater to the biggest fan
🎶it's too late to apologize, it's too late 🎶
I like that Kyrie is getting the respect he deserves, he seems to really fit in with the Mavs team and staff. Can't wait for this series!
PJ Washington and James Jones was shut down Anthony Edwards
3:00 😂😂😂😂
We'll see tonight if Kyrie can match with Antman all game long. This Antman's prime. Can't wait to watch the game.
Kyrie needs to step played bad thunder series
Murray don’t have a dribble package Kyrie is the ankle god
Mavericks in 6
I love having Kyrie on our team, but Luka is the leader. Get it right.
They’re both leaders on that team Luka himself said he’s learned a lot from Kyrie since he’s got experience on his side. Most teams have more than one voice in the locker room and he is very vocal on the court if you notice.
Lukas the face of the franchise, but he’s not the leader.
@@ba_lotah agreed, kyrie is the vet in the team. He is the leader, Luka the best player.
I can’t see Luka being the leader when he’s always complaining to the refs not getting back on D or O shit drags on your team’s morale especially when the game is still close, and I’m really not just saying that. It’s every fucking game man, and it’s hard to see that as a “leader” give me the calm, cool, collected, no arguing just get buckets all night Kyrie Irving as my leader
Kyrie did nothing wrong. Mainstream media is trash. Watch your local youtuber.
Love KG...and he's spot on Ramadan Kyrie was a straight up assassin!
Preach my brothers
Ant can’t guard nobody
I thought you said he should retire,keep that energy buddy
The sensai vibe
Are You Lost You See Kyrie Ina Playoffs When Cavs Won Championship Against Way Tougher Teams 😭 NOBODY IS SHOCKED BUT STEPHEN A SMITH
That’s still not the best version of him, he averaged 19 and 21 with lebron with one 25 ppg season with him, objectively his numbers are better since he left lebron.
NOT ALL GET THAT SPECIAL HOUSE “DANA WHITE” TREATMENT RIGHT
STEPHEN A. CANDIE ?
Lukai doesn't give a shit about what talking heads say!
he told him to retire btw
He's fair minded until people mention Lebron in the goat debate
Apologize to KY like I said b4..
What happened in Bk wasn’t Kyrie fault. The nets owner had no interest in winning a title in my opinion. You can tell by how they traded 3 hall of famers for some scrubs
Kobe living through Kyrie. Kyrie had mamba mentality
So averaging 15 pts and 6 assist is Mamba Mentality?
Give KYRIE The ROCK
LUKA should play the 2
No keep it like it is until kyrie says he wasn’t to play pg he’s basically doing it now
Because kyrie has lead two different teams to the WCF in last 3 years and knocked off the #1 seed both times😮😮😮
KG talks like my cousin that just came out of jail and he’s trying to fit in in society
Kyrie is the best basketball player alive
Never seen anyone so full of it. A smith acting happy for Kyrie
Let’s Go Stephen A., he that dude
“Kyrie Irving should retire” - Stephen A Smith
Best version? Bro he averaged 15 ppg this past series
He got hard hedged and blitzed in the pick and roll the entire series and they just sent help when he tried to go 1 on 1 and they were in the gaps on the nail waiting for him to attack. In the first round with less blitzes and double teams he averaged over 26 on almost 50/40/90 splits. He’s a better scorer now, better postgame, playmaker and the defense is night and day. Brooklyn to now is the best version of him and the stats in the regular season prove it with some solid postseasons.
Apologize to Luka.You picked Deandre Ayton, you always pick the other team that's playing against the Mavs.Apologize to Kyrie, you destroyed him all year long when he was with the Nets.Imagine the effect of that to his family.What did Luka accomplished at 22? 2x All Star, 2x All NBA 1st Team and went to Western Conference Finals against the Champion while averaging 32.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists.Now, do you know the stat line of your "young jordan" against Dallas? It's 20.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.
SAS preparing for his slight against Luka in case he wins the chip by giving most of his credit to Kyrie. "Yea, Kyrie had to have the best play is his career for Luka to win unlike when Lebron James won it"
Ramadan Kyrie was no Joke
just don't be too personal SAS. You're being to disrespectful of someone's else views
Appreciate it KG u a real one.... N also we didn't forget how u tried to retire n crucify ky but respect for giving something positive about the man finally
Of course not. His production has been shaky this playoffs. His best perfomances were during his title run in Cleveland.
You obviously only watch one side of the ball.
This is cap. You must only look at stats
What?! 😂
I was just about to say lol this fool crazy@@nessdagoat
Didn’t have this energy when he averaged 26/5/5 in the first round, you casuals don’t know ball and are just box score watchers. He had decent efficiency and a decent true shooting for the series it was just low volume because he was double teamed and blitz the entire okc series.
This is what Luka does , elevate his teammates get them better , look at Kyrie look at Gafford, PJ Wasington, all of them got better playing with Luka.
wow!!! not too long ago steven a said kyrie should retire lmao,,,,smh ,,now steven a trying to straightened it up so he won't look like an idiot 😂😂
News flash!!! Kyrie was clutch in the finals against the Warriors and already has a ring. All the hate you had towards him, saying he should retire.! Now you proud of him! 🤣🤣🤣 We don't believe you
Kyrie don’t care about your feelings towards him SA…
Fake love at its finest
Nets kyrie was his prime unfortunately Brooklyn wasted it
Luka is the leader and is not even close.Ant wants to guard Kyrie coz he scared of Luka
Kidd, KG, SAS all know that ky is the leader of the team. Luka is just the face of the franchise
@ba_lotah Just the face of the franchise Averaging 33 point triple double. Ky have never been a leader in any team he played.They are pushing this narrative coz Luka being white European and they are clearly racist.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the nuggets were outscored 60-32 in the second half 🥴
Stephen A Trashcan takes. Kevin Garnett shouldnt even come to this deplorables show.
COWBOYS 🤠 SUPERBOWL 🎉
lol, ant man want Kyrie but who gonna guard Luka ??
Wolves in 5
Na 🤯
If only kyrie could play 4 qtrs. 4 point halfs is nothing to go ape shit about
Kyrie is way more better than murray plus Luka . Dallas 4-2😂
First few seconds and I'm out. This man Steven single handedly tarnished his reputation. Left out of the top 75 too. The narrative that was constantly fed to the casuals every other day. By this man. Now all ya phoneys looking like a joke to the same casuals. For the rest of us you already were way back.
Ant doesnt want Luka...😅 Luka will win any game on you!
Why ant gotta guard him if they got “Jaden McDaniels”
Ant would cook Luka. The problem is Luka will cook Ant right back.
How does sas have a job, 😂 oh I know lol
Kyrie is reaping the benefits of his fasting
32 year old isnt beating the #1 defense
I mma come back here when the mavs are in the finals, keep underestimating us we like it the dark horse for a reason. Underdogs 💯
Kyrie got better with age foh
Look at you back tracking now. Stand on what you said bout Kyrie…we ain’t forget
Stephen A shouts to overcome his lack of real insight.
you all watch luka and kyrise in the finals. there will be blood
Stephen A. You should retire.
Finals Kyrie is the greatest player of all time
Lol.. My granny is the best granny ever. What I won?
