John Le Foreal though. They were obsessed him. Hopefully with the passing of Kobe we can start appreciating these athletes more. Especially the gifted ones
I think thats the spirit of Kobe. His game always mirrored Kobe, but I think with Kobe's passing has revitalized his game. It looks like Kyrie is finally adding the mental toughness component to his game. Kobe never took a night off.
Caleb Mayo EXACTLY I haven’t seem him play this hard since then like of course we played great since then but the effort he was putting out is like that series
That was my first time and maybe the last time that i'll be able to watch kyrie irl, so i had to take my lungs out for that one. I keep coming back to this day because it was one of the bests in my life.
Everything about the performance on the field is the closest thing from excellence for Kyrie. Just days after Kobe passing away, Barclays was full and everybody was just nourished by the context. You tell me if he paid homage.
@@alexeverett7248 he had no free throws bc the majority of his shots were wide tf open. Kyrie was actually out there running off ball and creating his own shots. I’m not trying to hate on Jamal, but I’m sure it’s a lot easier to get 50 on wide open shots his teammates created for him, than create them on his own.
Against the bulls too, Kobe idolized Michael and Kyrie idolized Kobe. The will of Mj and Mamba being passed down. Its kinda poetic. I hope Kyrie takes it to another level from here on out.
As well as playing with bron for 3 years. He has a connection to all the greats bruh. Its crazy. Got kobe putting time into him every off season. And having bron season you as well?? Hes destined for greatness. That one ring he has already holds a lot of weight.. No one else has a ring under those circumstances
As long as he stays healthy, he was the sole reason why Lebron got a chip in Cleveland so he’s doing his thing, he’s regarded as an elite point guard. He has Durant on him team and a developing young team, the best chance the Nets have of winning a chip are now
Hate to say it but its too late to make Kobe proud.. Its too late.. Thats why its important to show appreciation and respect for people "while they're here" .. It's no point now.. Time is up
Offensively speaking it´s going to be an absolute massacre and one of the most unstoppable duos ever. I mean think of these two playing the pick n roll, just lethal.
S T kyrie has everything except for the physical build but kyrie is the 1st and original Mr.4th quarter back in Cleveland when he was a rookie he been hitting game winners since his rookie season but people forget about that
I’ll say it again, Kyrie Irving pound for pound is the best basketball player on the planet! He’s 2 to3 steps of a head of every other player including himself. His skill level in every facet of the game is unparalleled to any other player.The way he finishes near the basket or even in three point range shows how easy the game comes to him. I had one guy want to compare him to Stephen Curry saying that he has a better overall game, but I totally disagree.
His game doesn't really translate to winning necessarily though. It is beautiful when he goes one on one and it works. But he doesn't quarterback a team the way Steph and Lebron does. It's more than individual skill/ability to get to the hoop. I admit though, Kyrie does stuff that only Kyrie can do, and when he's on he's definitely the most unstoppable player on the planet. No one compares.
Pound for pound KD is the best player on the planet. When healthy, that man can got out there and drop as many points as he wants and he has proven it against elite defenders. Don’t get me wrong, Kyrie bad af, but in my opinion, he is not the best player.
I honestly think Kyrie has the prettiest/smoothest/most poetic game in the history of the NBA. Watching him play when he’s in that attack mode is literally second to none.
Some people hate, and some people like myself want him to be more consistent. I hate that Kobe's passing is bringing this out of him, because we already knew he can play at this level.
Kevin Crater I agree, still respect and admire his game but after watching how he handled himself and the Celtics, throwing his teammates under the bus and just disrespecting them, smh I lost respect for him
I think the league, especially the eastern conference, should be lucky KD isn't playing on this team right now, cause the Nets would be a serious problem.
@@swerve1671 lol I've watched every single game for the last 7 years and wanted him off the team more than anything last year. You don't know what you're talking about.
i know we are gonna see alot of comments saying "this was for Kobe" when someone goes off,...but this one TRULY did feel like it was for Kobe. Such an amazing performance
He has some of the most beautiful & efficient 50+ point games .. i believe 3 of the top 10 most efficient 50 point games belong to kyrie (of which 2 are in the top 5) .. he’s the most skilled guard ever
NYK fan here. BKN we are hoping you do well in the playoffs. You have the most clutch player on your team. He will lead you to big things. Love from 💙🧡

Nah just lillard n kyrie
@@DollaFiend Not many players have scored 50 with this efficiency.
I think this is his most efficient game ever.
Didn't he only miss 1 shot during a game couple weeks ago?
Yea this one and one where he scored 57pts 7/7 from three..crazy
Only Wilt and Jordan have had 50+ point games with at least this level of efficiency. Or so I've heard

Most efficient 50+ point game in history

Kyrie has that true mamba mentality
Good, was getting so tired of people trashing on him.
John Le Foreal though. They were obsessed him. Hopefully with the passing of Kobe we can start appreciating these athletes more. Especially the gifted ones
Always loved Kyrie because of his attachment to Kobe and his mindset.
If he has the mamba mentality why is he only turning it on after the death of Kobe, the mamba mentality is always doing your best
@@tannerbugo4170 dummy he had the mentality when he hit that big shot against Golden State and hes a NBA Champion. Amnesia
Kyrie's gameplay is different than usual, he's full of spirit
That boy the greatest ball handler of all time 🔥🔥💪 he just wines about his team alot 💯
I think thats the spirit of Kobe. His game always mirrored Kobe, but I think with Kobe's passing has revitalized his game. It looks like Kyrie is finally adding the mental toughness component to his game. Kobe never took a night off.
Maybe Kobe's passing was like a call for him, to play every game as if it were the last, and give everything on the court
Thats what happens when you sit out for weeks and then cry your way out of the arena the game before.... Nice and rested.
Yah he didnt play like that with lebron. Look at him now XD
I Love Brooklyn's court, Makes it looks like the players are highlighted.
Wish the paint was black though
Inside the key
Finally someone said this, this is one of the best looking courts I have seen yet.
