Interviewer: "So whats it like to guard Luka?"
Kyrie: "Great question, so I like to start my weekends with a long lie in, my favourite fresh coffee and a walk.."
Lol
Kyrie must become politician. He got a question and answered a total different thing.
I had to watch it twice to see what the hell happened!! Lol!!!
Media trained 😂
Man, Kyrie seems so much more at ease in Dallas compared to Brooklyn! I am happy for the man.
hes like a cancer. first u dont notice but later its too late. only an obstacle to lukas career
Probably the lack of state taxes lmao
@@onetwothree257 and the fan base isn't liberal af XDD
Thats because he doesn't have the Dallas media contextually editing what he says to create stories every day.
because Texas isn't new york, like at all...Kyrie knows there are benefits not only to playing for an organization like Dallas, but also to living in a state like Tx as oppossed living in other states like New York and Massachusetts...where politics seem to wanna control every aspects of your life as opposed states like Texas...Kyrie doesn't seem to be the type of person to bow the knee to people telling him what he can and can't do in a :"free" country. There's a lot of factors that go into making that decision... and which also make a difference in being able to feel comfortable on and off the court.
The way kyrie dodged the question and made it about himself😂
remember his first celtics interview? 🤣🤣he be crossing ankles and crossing them questions too
@@Victor-oy8bj Guarding the opposition is not Kyrie's STRONG SUIT!!!! But like he says he put forth the EFFORT!!!!
Derrick Jones Jr. quieter than me talking to my mama after I got whooped
😂😂😂😂
Lol
I could barely understand what he was saying 😂
Maybe Devin Booker got a more accurate answer.
Did you see when Luka guards anybody , me neither LMAO 🤣😂
@@Sam-gs7yb salty suns fan😂
@@user-us3xi7se5bhe sounds real salty luka is devion booker daddy 💙🩶😂
A more entertaining answer maybe, but Booker can't do shit with Luka. Besides getting dog walked in the playoffs.
@@Sam-gs7ybHe's playing great defense to start this season. You'd better find a new talking point cause that one won't last long.
Ask the same question for Kyrie
It's probably more difficult because Kyrie is a little quicker and probably with little better handle.
@@Tall-Cool-Drink probably tho? KI definitely has better handles my guy..
@@ClevaDon
Luka is much taller and bigger than Kyrie.
So, you wouldn't expect him to have better handles. At their level we're talking subtle differences.
Luka definitely is the better passer.
@@Tall-Cool-DrinkKai has ALOT better handle
@@michaelf6205 Okay.
Nobody can guard Luka, but I'd like to see his coach give it a try.
*Kyrie laughing in the corner*
@@TashiTenzin-ck7xekyrie can’t guard him lol
sergio llull can guard him
Marc Cuban can guard Luka and the entire organizations income 😂😂😂
2:33 best attitude
Kyrie the only one on the team that can just start rambling about himself when asked about another player lol
Amazing basketball player but toxic team mate
@@alulaleakNone of his teammates have ever said he’s toxic but keep on agreeing with media narratives lol
@@reyjae_4735 who hurt u bro?
he wanted the attention like his ex
@@reyjae_4735fr some boston reporter saying anonymous teammates saying his toxic and everyone run with it, while literally none of his former teammates say shit, we live in a bot era fr
I liked best how Markieff Morris described it: "Luka´s got game ... everything he does is so deceptive."
Well versed!
Luka reminds me of that guy in the circus who does everything. He's a juggler, acrobat, dancer, aerialist, strongman, ringmaster, clown or tightrope walker and then he sticks his head in the lions mouth, all with a big smile on his face.
He's like a anime main character, usually goofy but unmatched in natural ability. When he gets serious, Earth starts to shake and his hair becomes more spiky.
but Luka is that guy tho. why some of ya’ll can’t appreciate that we have him in the league. last time i was so excited about a young star was drose. and god i miss young drose.
kyrie aint even talk bout what guarding luka like lmao
Guarding was not his toolbox....but he put for an effort LOL!!!!
Kyrie even turned a simple question into talking about himself 💀
A pleasure to see this team in an informal setting, bunch of diverse personalities. Kind of like the talk about Astaire giving Rogers class, and she returning the favor by giving him a little sex appeal, so it seems that Irving gives this team an intellectual focus, while Doncic gives them a reminder why all this started: it's fun! Maybe it'll keep Irving going a while longer . . .
How hard is it to guard Luka?
Kyrie: “me me me me me me me… sorry, what was the question again?”
Dodging questions is classic nba star behavior why r u surprised
@@cup2990 it wasnt a difficult question at all lol, just a chance to hype up his teammate
It’s bcos Kyrie thinks he’s way better than Luka
@@Thirdeyeconciousness because he is, look at almost all his highlights, they dont call him king of handles for nothing!
@@TashiTenzin-ck7xe Kyrie is not better than Luka.
Grant was 100% on the za that day bros on a different planet
Where is the Luka interview? Plus Maxi and Dwight Powell one?
Anyone else having trouble hearing DJJ? Anyone?
Luka being a point guard role is absolutely stunning, he can handle the ball and has an IQ on passing, and a big attribute is his size, most point guards is smaller than him.
Now go ask his SON (Booker) what’s it like to TRY to guard Luka 😂
I Like Dallas team, I think They will Be very good this year❤
DJJ doing his Shy Ronnie impression
Luka magic 🔥 🦝 🔥 🦝
Good interview!!
Kyrie dodged the question
GIVE RICH HOLMIE RICHAUN MORE MINUTES OMG
did only 8 people interview? or are they posting the rest later
It's probably harder to guard Luka cuz he's stronger and taller
I've seen Kyrie get locked up before (it's rare) but has happened
Kai is so positive lol
BEST WAY to guard LUKA,,, STEP 1 allow him to have a good game,,,,, he will score 40 on you but he eliminates his teammates too,, he is a one man offence,, slows down the tempo of his team,,and this is good for you since his teammates will be inactive from watching him take the ball from his half, dribble past you maybe make a shot,,and this mentally and physically doesn't warm up the other 4 to the speed of the game,,,now STEP 2 make plays that attack him on defence ,,LUKA isn't a terrible defender but by attacking him you get two things you make him tire during the late clutch stages of the game making his decision a bit shaky, hence becomin less lethal,,, two he has to involve now his inactive team mates but they are inactive. if you think I am inaccurate look at the 2022 western confrence finals,, mavs were better when Luka was out and Brunson was incharge of offence,,, or this season first games KYRIE IRVING is shooting bad percentages from the 3 why ( remember it is KYRIE somebody who is trusted to take a game 7 3p in the finals)? you have the best dribbler playing like a power forward standing on the corner waiting for opportunistic shots,,, Luka is avaraging almost 38 though,,,,but is the 38 good for the rest of the team? Unlike with somebody like STEPH or JOKIC who might avarage alot of points but actually involve every member of the team keeping them active
Great speech. Now look at the stats, and you'll see that Luka is top 5 in assists right now, top 5 in points from assists per game, top 5 in potential assists per game and top 10 in passes per game.
@@Emefakyes he is incredible I am even a big Luca fan but it is a true problem that very heliocentric playmakers tend to face for example Kobe and Jordan did all the work and when it came to the point where they needed there teammates they were not locked in when they started to involve them more both offense and defense improved because they felt more motivated and with Luca he has the ball even more because he is the Point Guard. I genuinely think Luca is the best or second best player on the planet when we are talking about ability but his style is a problem many great players face and it can often hurt teams.
Is it just me, or Grant Williams is so animated when he talks that he looks like a cartoon? 😅
The White Tornado 🌪
Just ask a raptor player they can show you😂😂
The boy was a superstar playing with grown men at the age of 15
Kyrie answer is hilarious. He knows
Funny how many Luka questions were asked when he wasn’t even around…
Better question to Kyrie is, who is the better facilitator? Lebron or Luka? cause from what i see Luka is the Lebron they wish to be in Lakers. Lebron is all athletism and Luka is Real Talent.
Well grant my guy has been playing with GROWN MEN since he was 14
Same as wemby. Different breeds outch here fasho
GOAT DONCIC👑
😂 sorry, the microphone is looking like a tiny stick toy when held by all the players 😂😅
Love kyrie ❤
always the same question about luka. luka is a bad defender. you have to ask this question to luka about the others players
Grant high asl
Buddy tweakin
The same to "guard ' to any other cause everybody know that is a invent of this sport, don'try to sell smoke to they people
Luka glazing goes crazy in this video 3:24
Can't compliment nobody these days
@@assassinx14335 minutes of glazing isn't a compliment
@@ttvskrillex there ain't no difference since everybody keep saying everything is glazing
Grant Williams was cooked during the interview lol
This comment section is full of people that missed the point with Kyrie.
Of course Grant Williams gives the coach's answer. Just retire and hit the sidelines already, lol. I had to google Josh Green, realizing he's not from here. Then I had to rethink why I assume certain people are American.
Grant Williams is definitely a coach after he retires
Terrence Mann can answer this best
2:44 Luka a tough ho?
😂 maybe he roasting Lil Wayne
Y’all are making these players feel like shit asking them every year how is it to guard luka , who tf asks about getting a shoulder like wtf chill
I’m saying lol is this not a team sport ask something else. Why they gotta suck Luka off every second of the season? He not Allah so don’t expect Kyrie to get on his hands and knees
Kyrie just went off on his own tangent and didn't answer the question
Kryie turned “what’s it like to guard Luka?” Into him talking about himself …. What a clown
You can't be more Kyrie than that lol, he's so sure that he better so he won't answer to that like he's another guy in Luka's team he the main man and he'll make sure that you don't forget that lol
He literally said he gave him 39 and was asked another question 💀
Is Williams sleeping?
"Its a torture chamber"
Kyrie just didn’t answer the question wtf
Why does dude on the right keep asking them what’s it’s like to have luka’s shoulder pushed into you? Seems like a weird question
Players won’t tell you but please stop asking questions like this, it’s weird as hell…
So? Who cares? Media are there to ask uncomfortable questions. They’re not supposed to act like their buddies all the time.
its why JB left
@@MrChaseBluethe point is its “glazing” activity. Like when the reporter asked how good of a dad Lebron was to Kyrie 😂
Is nobody going to talk about the fact that he asked about Luka's shoulder bumping into them to 3 players?
Too bad Grant will experience this all over again
I heard doncic have had his a..s busted multiple times 1vs1
Why Derrick hair always look like he just got out the shower
What’s it like to guard Luka who cares bro I can see they hyping him up
lmao ky did not answer
moriss on the mavs? naaaah. no
5 on 5 its probably tough but 1 on 1 is probably not that bad
are you insane? did you not catch the clippers game? 44 points on 81% shooting from the field and the majority were contested three pointers.
The game is too easy for him
Mavs are going to be sooo bad this year
