When I saw the interview by Mark Cuban and seen how he talk about Kyrie, it all made sense. Mark literally said "we accept you for who you are and we respect you for it".
@@johnnguyen6469 When did he say that? because thats a given. Why would he think its not his team? Im sure he knew he wasnt coming to take over a team that already had a superstar level player that is the face of the francise.
Kyrie's situation is a perfect example of how society shuns those who choose not to succumb to fear tactics, drink the patriotic koolaid, and/or refuse to blindly obey and follow the flock. Much respect to this MAN for following his heart, speaking his mind and standing up for what he believes (knowing the consequences would be severe). He clearly understands that life is about much more than basketball, a game and with his power comes a greater responsibility.
Well you don’t want international reporters asking him about his views on Israel and that shit. Plus we don’t know if certain star players (like KD) told USAB not to invite Ky.
Kyrie doesnt have any views on Israel that arent uncommonly held in most of Europe. Its only Americans that are forbidden from questioning the actions of the Israeli Governmemt.
@@Cakebattered Who cares about his views? Dude isn't well thought of as a teammate. Right now the Mavs are making it work right now but let's not pretend his former mates are aching to team up again after he derailed their rosters
Kyrie is not a SHEEP. He will go down as an NBA legend despite the powers that tried to hold him down. He hasn't asked for an apology! He's living in his truth and dgaf if you like it or not. He's got my respect.

Antisemitism is racism against Jews. Being Semitic is belonging to a certain group of people, either Jewish, Christian, or Hebrew. Kyrie Irving is a Black Hebrew Israelite, which means he cannot be racist towards his own race and/or religion.
If Kyrie didn't have to apologize, ESPN doesn't have to. Kyrie is free to do and say as he pleases , as he should be. The thing is that it applies to all of our society.

@@MnyMar I am not a chief you can stuff that mess and for me just making it known that those of us who see Kyrie for who he is are not bringing slander... our truth comes directly from Uncle Drew's moves
Just listen to his postgame conferences. He is the most together person in the NBA. I love listening to him talk because he is wise, compassionate, deep, and always thoughtful. I liked him before, but he's one of my favorite players now. If more guys were like him people wouldn't be turning off the NBA.

Despite rooting against him when he was in Cleveland, he has had me ever since his "Uncle" movie. He came across as calm, real and at peace with himself. Who would have thought that such a flashy player would be so humble and likeable.
Luka Doncic is ball dominant, scoring 30+ a game. Kyrie Irving added elite cutting to his game on top of elite ball handling. Kyrie Irving can score 30+ now, OFF the ball.
“He posted a video that he probably didn’t understand” See how the media does? They’ll never tell you exactly how he didn’t understand it nor will they touch that subject of the Israeli people. Cowards
McCants is wrong, that’s not a stain on Kyrie, James left first and BKN & KD couldn’t agree on the extension or something, and Kyrie & KD left at the same time
Well actually KD extended while he was at the Olympics, then Harden asked out during the vax year, then KD asked out in the offseason. Then it was clear Tsai hated Kyrie and wanted to attach so many clauses that effectively belittled him so he asked out, even though they just went 18-2 with him and KD
Harden left because Kyrie wasn't playing. Imagine your friends telling you to come to the team, but only you're playing all the mins cause they injured
With the finals, sometimes unexpected shit happens.. But tbh, I don’t see Antman putting Kyrie on clamps at all. I mean I like the confidence, but Ant doesn’t know what he’s really asking for if Kyrie decides to turn up early during each game!!
@@ErroneousMonk1 Didn't you hear him whining about how hard it is to also play solid defense? Dude thinks taking the first half off and making some clutch shots equates to greatness. I think Ant has something waiting for Uncle Drew
For me it's always how you respect people on his perception and understanding. Like any of us has our own perception and understanding we want to be respected.
@@obaloluwakomolafe2065 you gen z clowns all think alike, playing defense for 3 games doesn't make the guy a good defensive player. There are 82 games in a season, plus playoffs, plus the finals.

If only it were that simple. For some of us it was. But ask yourself if you had a ride or die BFF whose prime years could bring multiple rings and he pledged to partner up and build a team with you.. and a lil shot stood in your way would you take the Uncle Drew way out? Or would you be lacing them up?
@@I.am_Groot I feel like taking a public stance against it was the problem. He could’ve easily paid to fake it and kept his mouth shut about it 🤷🏿♂️ then he could’ve been Uncle Drew and we would’ve only talked about what he was doing on the court instead of what he was doing off of it.
@@samcarr5499 Kyrie himself told us many times he stays about more than basketball. Cool. Kobe was very active and giving in his community and yet when it came time to play ball... he was all in. The myth of Uncle Drew lives on but for me it is more a waste of opportunity than actual accomplishment.
8:05 I think Mark Cuban has a lot to do with the success of Kyrie in Dallas. He has a very good organization setup. A good locker room. No media drama, like with the Cowboys. New York I think was just too many eyeballs nitpicking everything, and with him getting KD and Harden to come to Brooklyn but they didn't win together.
In the grand scheme when compared to other markets, like LA, NY, and CHI, hell yeah even us in HOU when just comparing our markets, San Antonio has both of us beat despite us both having more attractive destinations. And when comparing the prev BIG 3, despite SA having more rings (and finals appearances) in the last decades than all 3, because the other fan bases are larger, idealy that determines the market.
@@jas7374DFW is routinely rated the top Sports Market in the U.S. and it is a top 5 media market. This is not 1980. The Mavs have a top 3 global player on their team. The guy was wrong and didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Let's not defend ignorance.
He the Isiah Thomas of this Olympics lol... As for Cuban it was a marriage made out of desperation. Mavs let Brunson walk for nothing and all of a sudden an all-star PG was on the clearance shelf so lets talk real about the fact Kyrie literally had no place else to go
@@I.am_Groot you think Dallas was the only team that tried to trade for Kyrie ? Or are you smart enough to do you're on research and see MULTIPLE PLAYOFF TEAMS TRIED TO TRADE FOR KYRIE. you need to get off this fantasy hate train you have for Kyrie. Miami, lakers, Dallas, suns, clippers all tried to trade for Kyrie without 48 hours of him requesting a trade. Get your facts straight
As a New Yorker his fit pissing me off!!! He really got on a celtics hat, a kobe t-shirt & AntMan kicks. Mixing the celtics & lakers in the same fit is wild!!!
Kyrie owes a lot of people an apology. There's a reason so many think so poorly of him. It's absolutely not about his outside of basketball tastes. He ran off from his only other teams, just because... Don't expect them to be ok with him because he's suddenly doing well. Give him another year and get back to us. You've mentioned Brooklyn and Boston, but don't overlook his refusing to play in Cleveland because he wasn't the top player. That was it. He said it. He took all the value they spent on him cuz he wasn't the star, and demanded to be traded instantly, midseason, forcing them to dump him for next to nothing. Just stop with this, "he's great now and it's been everyone else's fault stuff." You're searching for sooo many excuses, including that he's finally in a small market and therefore comfortable. Dallas/Ft Worth is the 4th largest city in the US. Cleveland was the small market, and you know everyone there had his back. He scored the winning basket for their one championship. So just stop. Kyrie has always needed someone to carry him, to remove all the stress of being an adult. Now it's Luka that carries the weight so Kyrie can start trying again.
McCants really snapped in that stretch beginning at the 4:45 mark up until that 6:30 mark. I've been saying the same thing the last few years when they try to say he's a bottom tier guard. Preposterous!

Thanks for this post. Much needed topic!! Nets owner tried to buck break Kyrie. Now who’s winning!
Great discussion fellas. Salute to you all. Keep up the great work 💪🏾🫡
The whole jab thing has to be a violation of hippa laws somehow. I hate how people acted during that time because they were scared
why would it be a violation?
“He posted a video that he probably didn’t understand”
See how the media does? They’ll never tell you exactly how he didn’t understand it nor will they touch that subject of the Israeli people. Cowards
Irving needs to ball this series 😤
Nobody owes him an apology for nothing. He was consistently sitting out without cause. Glad to see his growth but it was validated at the time
McCants is wrong, that’s not a stain on Kyrie, James left first and BKN & KD couldn’t agree on the extension or something, and Kyrie & KD left at the same time
Kyrie asked for a trade and got dealt to Boston remember
Well actually KD extended while he was at the Olympics, then Harden asked out during the vax year, then KD asked out in the offseason. Then it was clear Tsai hated Kyrie and wanted to attach so many clauses that effectively belittled him so he asked out, even though they just went 18-2 with him and KD
Harden left because Kyrie wasn't playing. Imagine your friends telling you to come to the team, but only you're playing all the mins cause they injured
They didn’t want to sign an extension to Kyrie without stipulation. They even offered a year to year (which was highly disrespectful).
Harden quit cause he a bihh
With the finals, sometimes unexpected shit happens.. But tbh, I don’t see Antman putting Kyrie on clamps at all. I mean I like the confidence, but Ant doesn’t know what he’s really asking for if Kyrie decides to turn up early during each game!!
Y’all seeing these bots?😂😂
Your comment is fresh, keep it going 😂
Naw these Mavs fan come back to watch people eat crow😂😂
🤖:👀
@@22tooflyWhy is Kyrie special? He scored 9 points in the last series… twice.
@@ErroneousMonk1 Didn't you hear him whining about how hard it is to also play solid defense? Dude thinks taking the first half off and making some clutch shots equates to greatness. I think Ant has something waiting for Uncle Drew
I don’t understand why he deserves an apology. He deserved criticism when he messed up, and now he deserves praise for growing up.
Couldn't have said it any better.
Facts 🗣️💯
For me it's always how you respect people on his perception and understanding. Like any of us has our own perception and understanding we want to be respected.
The only question about Irving on the court would be his defense, but the other than that, there should be no other questions!
Have you not been watching basketball lately? He’s been playing exceptional defense on the floor
@@obaloluwakomolafe2065 you gen z clowns all think alike, playing defense for 3 games doesn't make the guy a good defensive player. There are 82 games in a season, plus playoffs, plus the finals. And he's been around 12 years. He doesn't play defense most of the season and hasn't played defense most of his career. You don't just play D for 3 or 4 games, that's not how it works, clown!

@@scott783they played 12 games and those playoffs matches are most important games the defense he’s playing along with others got them WCF don’t belittle that !
@@scott783hater
It started when he said the earth was flat. ESPN wouldn’t stop talking about it. 😂
I didn’t take that shot either 😂 I don’t blame him.
If only it were that simple. For some of us it was. But ask yourself if you had a ride or die BFF whose prime years could bring multiple rings and he pledged to partner up and build a team with you.. and a lil shot stood in your way would you take the Uncle Drew way out? Or would you be lacing them up?
@@I.am_Groot I feel like taking a public stance against it was the problem. He could’ve easily paid to fake it and kept his mouth shut about it 🤷🏿♂️ then he could’ve been Uncle Drew and we would’ve only talked about what he was doing on the court instead of what he was doing off of it.
@@samcarr5499 Kyrie himself told us many times he stays about more than basketball. Cool. Kobe was very active and giving in his community and yet when it came time to play ball... he was all in.
The myth of Uncle Drew lives on but for me it is more a waste of opportunity than actual accomplishment.
@@I.am_Groot no doubt about it, that Brooklyn situation was a complete disappointment and a waste of time.
U got sense 👏
The ESPN owes him an apology.
He called Dallas small ? A small market
The mavs have had trouble landing big free agents
He was thinking San Antonio lol
Dallas is mad small! Ky came from a NY market! FOH
8:05 I think Mark Cuban has a lot to do with the success of Kyrie in Dallas. He has a very good organization setup. A good locker room. No media drama, like with the Cowboys. New York I think was just too many eyeballs nitpicking everything, and with him getting KD and Harden to come to Brooklyn but they didn't win together.
Not about the setup they let Kyrie be Kyrie thats what happen. Nets wanted Kyrie to be who they wanted him to be.
Did bro say dallas is a small market?? Dallas is def a big market!
Top sports market, top 5 media market.
💯 Uncle Drew one of best Freedmen
When did Dallas become a small market. 😳
In the grand scheme when compared to other markets, like LA, NY, and CHI, hell yeah even us in HOU when just comparing our markets, San Antonio has both of us beat despite us both having more attractive destinations. And when comparing the prev BIG 3, despite SA having more rings (and finals appearances) in the last decades than all 3, because the other fan bases are larger, idealy that determines the market.
I just said that lol as I heard it lol 😮
@@jas7374DFW is routinely rated the top Sports Market in the U.S. and it is a top 5 media market. This is not 1980. The Mavs have a top 3 global player on their team. The guy was wrong and didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Let's not defend ignorance.
I love how Gil’s arena know that Kyrie really is the dog between him and Luka. Like Kyrie a different level
He allowed to claim being native but not Hebrew Israelite
shut up do your research bum
Both same thing
@@YaramiLaCour not to regular people. Don't be purposely silly
@@t-lawsfitness6044 People will learn that it is the same thing eventually.
@@reubengermain9771 ethnically sure. Religiously not really
Grateful the conversation on Kyrie is back to basketball
salute to Mark Cuban for giving kyrie an opportunity when the league was trying to force him out. Snub him from USA team, smh
He the Isiah Thomas of this Olympics lol... As for Cuban it was a marriage made out of desperation. Mavs let Brunson walk for nothing and all of a sudden an all-star PG was on the clearance shelf so lets talk real about the fact Kyrie literally had no place else to go
@@I.am_Groot you think Dallas was the only team that tried to trade for Kyrie ? Or are you smart enough to do you're on research and see MULTIPLE PLAYOFF TEAMS TRIED TO TRADE FOR KYRIE. you need to get off this fantasy hate train you have for Kyrie. Miami, lakers, Dallas, suns, clippers all tried to trade for Kyrie without 48 hours of him requesting a trade. Get your facts straight
Bruh two episodes combination in one video is crazy. On one topic!
The Jewish people that tried to get him out the paint owes him the biggest apology. Respectfully
We Love Kyrie here in Dallas just looking at him being his own best self is so amazing to Dtown❤️🙏🏿⭐️🙏🏿❤️
Kyrie made one white friend and he started showing up to work
Lmao
Nah this aint it this was corny asf
Rashad is improving
As a New Yorker his fit pissing me off!!! He really got on a celtics hat, a kobe t-shirt & AntMan kicks. Mixing the celtics & lakers in the same fit is wild!!!
Kyrie owes a lot of people an apology. There's a reason so many think so poorly of him. It's absolutely not about his outside of basketball tastes. He ran off from his only other teams, just because...
Don't expect them to be ok with him because he's suddenly doing well. Give him another year and get back to us.
You've mentioned Brooklyn and Boston, but don't overlook his refusing to play in Cleveland because he wasn't the top player. That was it. He said it. He took all the value they spent on him cuz he wasn't the star, and demanded to be traded instantly, midseason, forcing them to dump him for next to nothing. Just stop with this, "he's great now and it's been everyone else's fault stuff."
You're searching for sooo many excuses, including that he's finally in a small market and therefore comfortable. Dallas/Ft Worth is the 4th largest city in the US. Cleveland was the small market, and you know everyone there had his back. He scored the winning basket for their one championship. So just stop.
Kyrie has always needed someone to carry him, to remove all the stress of being an adult. Now it's Luka that carries the weight so Kyrie can start trying again.
"We gotta go back to pause, we can't even say the other one no more" Man they love taking my nostalgia away from me 😂👍
McCants really snapped in that stretch beginning at the 4:45 mark up until that 6:30 mark. I've been saying the same thing the last few years when they try to say he's a bottom tier guard. Preposterous!
Great take guys ❤
Woooohhh A.E.vs killa ka,,, iam glad iam living to see this
Thank you to all three of them for spitting straight facts and supporting kai. Wow they could take a hit for this ✌🏼
2:14 nahh that shi was funny asf 😂
Imagine a Kendrick & Gilbert comedy series, hahahhaaa!
That Penny shirt killer 🔥
Gil got celeb status but isn’t a fraud. Respect
As a Canadian …. Thank you from now Team USA 😂. When we bring home Gold for the 1st time this podcast will age beautifully like a fine wine
