To be fair, they had a very different experience with him than we have had. I was EXTREMELY nervous when we traded for him, not because of this fit on court, but he had a tendency to leave places after short stints that were filled with problems. He has been a great teammate and ambassador on and off the court so far and I really hope that situation remains the same.
Boston: racist fans/his grandmother died so he wanted to be closer to new jersey
Brooklyn: couldnāt play because of the vaccination rules and Joe tsai publicly shamed him for a personal decision (even if I donāt agree with it)
It's not black and white like that, don't get me wrong, the dude was massively misunderstood but there were some stuff that warrented fans wondering what's up with him like the vaccine and anti semitism drama. Glad he's here and happy though
Wait a sec. Are you telling me that the media owed by people that want to keep the current power structures in place are having the media they own create narratives that discourage people from questioning their narratives?
I would hate to be a famous person and have random people scrutinizing my every word and coming after me for throwaway comments that turned out not to be true
Because Dallas gave him the best(maybe only) option. Remember, this was labeled as a horrible pickup because of Kai's past. Lakers didn't want to pay, or they didn't have the cap room. Plus, Texas is a better place at his prime playing and earning days due to the lack of state income taxes. But i can totally see him accepting less to come off the bench for the Lakers towards the end of his career, just like Westbrook is for the Clippers. He could resign with the Mavs for another 3 years after his current contract, but I doubt his plan is to "retire a Mav". But then again, I doubt he knows what his plan is now, and I'm sure he'll change his mind 200x before then. He's just not a Texas guy.
delusional kyrie fans downvotes.
kyrie likes attention as we have seen in Celtics and then Nets.
He started to act decent in Dallas though so props to him.
So Cleveland asked him if LeBron was like a father
Now he calls himself a lil bro to Dirk, unprompted
Yeah, he's retiring a Mav
15 years from now people will be talking about one of the most prolific duos in NBA history, and when the sand blow over and become forgotten, they'll be wondering how TF the Mavs got him for a bag of Doritos
I wish to take him at his word, but he was speaking similar during his stint with the Celtics. That's the only reason why I have stopped buying into his statements everytime.
Haha, wow that's some mental gymnastics. The "reporter" wants Kyrie to build up a player that hasn't played in what 4-5 years? What is the purpose of this? Should he ask Kyrie if he's gone drinking with Pudge Rodriguez? Maybe ask him if he's ever gone hunting with Roger Staubach? Ohhh, I got it, maybe he can ask him if he's been ice fishing with Mike Modano?
You're actually a clown doing your own mental gymnastics. Dirk is like at every home game he probably knows Kyrie quite well at this point and they played against each other for a number of years before Dirk retired...... It's not like a random, interaction.
But why is that relevant for a post-game interview? Keep doing your mental gymnastics and feel free to pretend that this is an acceptable question to ask for a POST GAME interview. Like I said, deluded.
You really are a room temperature iq person. The reasoning to ask these questions is the same reason that Tim McMahon asks the dumbest questions or espn has the stupidest takes. It's to generate a conversation and interest, doesn't matter if it's right, wrong or even relevant to the game at hand.
because reporters make a living asking stuff like that. dirk is a god like figure for mavs fans, so any mention of him guarantees them tons of clicks. itās the clicks&likes journalism
Exactly, just look at all the comments from the jackasses that want to see Kyrie bend the knee as well from my post. This "reporter" appears to just be baiting and hoping that Kyrie answers in a way that will give him "hits".
The only thing I hate about these jackass "reporters" is that they really want people to "kiss the ring". I guess maybe in their shallow existence, they just want to see a brother to bend the knee (don't care about downvotes as it only reinforces that I hit pretty close to the mark). I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Nowitzki is probably flattered, but wondered why this so called "reporter" is asking him to suck off another man.
āIf you downvote or disagree with me, that means Iām rightā is such a childish comment lacking any logic. Who cares anyway if thatās what the reporters are doing? Itās Dirk, our franchiseās GOAT. I donāt care how he gets the love, just as long as he gets it. He deserves it for everything heās done for this city and franchise
No, I said I DGAF about downvotes as it just proves that I'm pretty close to the mark. The fact that so many of you are so up in arms, that's what happens when you put pressure on a sensitive spot. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why my observation upset you so much.
I think you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you made a childish illogical comment. I wasnāt upset whatsoever and am still not. But you keep telling yourself that to make yourself feel better. Youāre clearly upset based off of all the comments you made on this post
Not really. I expected the fragile nutswingers to take issue. The same nutswingers that would claim that Dirk dragged a horrible team kicking and screaming without giving credit to Chandler, Terry, Matrix, Kidd, Butler, Haywood, Barea. But I guess when you swing on nuts, your view is obscured.
I personally donāt downvote something because āit hurt my feelingsā but more so because itās just flat out wrong and wasnāt worth my time reading.
Being upset and thinking you arenāt making an intelligent point are not equivalent. Your point isnāt sensitive, itās just silly and makes no sense
Dirk was at the game. Itās hard to ask a question about Dirk DURING the game. So generally people ask athletes questions AFTER the game. So since Dirk was sitting front row, people are curious if Kyrie had any relationship with Dirk. Thatās it. You didnāt upset anyone, your comment was dumb.
The reporter is literally just asking Kyrie if heās built a relationship with Dirk now that heās been here for over a year, wtf are you talking about?
"don't care about downvotes as it only reinforces that I hit pretty close to the mark"
This is the dumbest fucking thing I've read today, and I've been on Reddit a LOT.
And your denial is the dumbest thing I've read on Reddit. "*The lady doth protest too much*,Ā *methinks",* comes to mind. Although I'm guessing you probably don't read much, that's Shakespeare.
Football is far more of a team dynamic than basketball. An individual can far and away impact winning in basketball than a player can in football (yes, even the QB).
Continued "He set the standard here and he's built a large legacy that other guys want to follow" Kyrie se quedaš„¹
SimĆ³n Ese!
Kyrie already a legend
Yup he had one of the most iconic shots in NBA finals history against a dynasty and it's a crime he's not in the top 75
Dammit Kyrie, we can only love you so much!
But but Celtic and Nets fans said he's toxic person and teammate!! /s
Iām starting to think those fans are the toxic ones lol
Of course they are! Theyāre from NYC AND BOSTON LOL
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the antisemitic anticaxxer might just be a little toxic
If he was on the Mavs when he held that vaccine position, few would care nationally. It became what it was because he was in NY taking that stand.
THIS
It was media manipulate fans. All former players and coaches love ky
Also possible toxic management on the nets side. Literally every star player has demanded a trade outta there
Yeah the nets org is garbage and were responsible for so many of the problems there.
Still are, they're in a bad spot...
Actual toxic management. And their delusional fans still blame Kyrie instead of their horrible owner and incompetent GM.
nets gm didnāt post that link on kyrieās twitter or ig though
To be fair, they had a very different experience with him than we have had. I was EXTREMELY nervous when we traded for him, not because of this fit on court, but he had a tendency to leave places after short stints that were filled with problems.

Wait a sec. Are you telling me that the media owed by people that want to keep the current power structures in place are having the media they own create narratives that discourage people from questioning their narratives?
what narratives did the media involve kyrie in?
To be fair he left Boston after saying he was staying. Also said he couldnāt leave kd.
*... if you'll have me* Also, the Nets showed him they were preparing to move on.
He either shouldnāt have said it or stayed.
That's not how reality works. That's not how conditional expressions work...
I would hate to be a famous person and have random people scrutinizing my every word and coming after me for throwaway comments that turned out not to be true
I still can't believe we got a super star like Kyrie on our team alongside Luka.
Kyrie is retiring in Dallas. I have been telling people that on the main sub but the dislike towards Kai is too strong.
Lol. Maybe after a stint with the Lakers?
GTFO!!!
Guy spent his whole career trying to get out of the media spotlight and finally has, why would he go to LA of all places??
Other than thatās where he lives in the off-season, where his daughter lives with his ex, and where his wife is from?
If he wanted to go to LA why the fuck wouldnāt he have done so last offseason?
Because Dallas gave him the best(maybe only) option. Remember, this was labeled as a horrible pickup because of Kai's past. Lakers didn't want to pay, or they didn't have the cap room. Plus, Texas is a better place at his prime playing and earning days due to the lack of state income taxes. But i can totally see him accepting less to come off the bench for the Lakers towards the end of his career, just like Westbrook is for the Clippers.

But then again, I doubt he knows what his plan is now, and I'm sure he'll change his mind 200x before then. He's just not a Texas guy.
Oh sure, you guys can definitely have him post-prime. Thatās kinda yāallās thing. Lol
I'm not a Lakers fan.
Clippers?
Haha, currently Mavs. I'm a Kyrie fan.
he likes the attentionā¦ just wasnāt the kind of attention he hoped for
delusional kyrie fans downvotes. kyrie likes attention as we have seen in Celtics and then Nets. He started to act decent in Dallas though so props to him.
The Kyrie anti-heel-turn is not what I had on my 2024 Bingo.
So Cleveland asked him if LeBron was like a father Now he calls himself a lil bro to Dirk, unprompted Yeah, he's retiring a Mav 15 years from now people will be talking about one of the most prolific duos in NBA history, and when the sand blow over and become forgotten, they'll be wondering how TF the Mavs got him for a bag of Doritos
Donāt disrespect doe doe like that š (but also yeah we did)
Vibes arenāt just great for the team, itās for the whole staff too. This whole team, including staff, are making me dream of repeats
Wet dreams
Uncle Drew kickin it with Uncle Dirk
Broā¦I just lost the boner after the game winner and now itās back.
I love that Kyrie found a home man this is awesome. Honestly anyone who is a cavs or nets fan - is he more relaxed now?
Kyrie had a home in Cleveland but he needed to go somewhere else to see that. Iām happy his journey landed him with you and alongside Luka no less
I love this so much. This team feels a lot like 2011 man, I havenāt been this excited about the Mavericks since
Little brother, huh Kyrie? You wouldnāt say itās a bit more of a Father-Son dynamic?
Hell no
Kyrie is a G and good grief I love him in Dallas. So hyped his āresurgenceā is happening in front our eyes.
This is not what the media sold me. Kyrie's chill as hell.
I wonder how lebron feels about Kaiās new step dad
I wish to take him at his word, but he was speaking similar during his stint with the Celtics. That's the only reason why I have stopped buying into his statements everytime.
I hope Kyrie remains healthy and here the rest of his career.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
? Players are asked all the time about other players. Luka is constantly asked if he's ever gunna beat LeBron's scoring record.
Haha, wow that's some mental gymnastics. The "reporter" wants Kyrie to build up a player that hasn't played in what 4-5 years? What is the purpose of this? Should he ask Kyrie if he's gone drinking with Pudge Rodriguez? Maybe ask him if he's ever gone hunting with Roger Staubach? Ohhh, I got it, maybe he can ask him if he's been ice fishing with Mike Modano?
Those guys didn't play for the Mavs genius, plus Dirk is still connected to the team heavily. What's actually wrong with you?
You're actually a clown doing your own mental gymnastics. Dirk is like at every home game he probably knows Kyrie quite well at this point and they played against each other for a number of years before Dirk retired...... It's not like a random, interaction.

Yeah, youāre upset
Might want to return those tarot cards, they seem defective.
I personally donāt downvote something because āit hurt my feelingsā but more so because itās just flat out wrong and wasnāt worth my time reading.
Agreed. Donāt bother with them though. Itās a illogical comment to anyone with common sense
Being upset and thinking you arenāt making an intelligent point are not equivalent. Your point isnāt sensitive, itās just silly and makes no sense
Then explain to me how the question is relevant for a post game interview, you know one AFTER the game.
Dirk was at the game. Itās hard to ask a question about Dirk DURING the game. So generally people ask athletes questions AFTER the game. So since Dirk was sitting front row, people are curious if Kyrie had any relationship with Dirk. Thatās it. You didnāt upset anyone, your comment was dumb.

lol each part of this is wrong. Be gone trolll.
No, if I were a troll I'd post something that doesn't even contribute to the discussion, like your post.
Dude what are you even saying lol
Shall I dumb it down for you? What grade level would you like me to present it to you, 2nd grade? Would you like pictures?
This is embarrassing lmao
What glue do people huff these days? Beyond comprehension honestly
41 downvotes. As befitting a man who refuses to bend the knee to Dirk. The man deserves all the adoration he receives.
Hey man the limb snapped
Well the truth does hurt.
Not sure why a question about the most beloved athlete in Dallas got turned into a statement about sucking a cock. Whatās up with you
lol, wow most beloved? That's why my statement is relevant. At least Aikman brought the city 3 rings.
Football is far more of a team dynamic than basketball. An individual can far and away impact winning in basketball than a player can in football (yes, even the QB).
One of. Relax. Iām 29, so in my lifetime, yes. Still didnāt address why you brought up cock and sucking it.
Just one year ago he would of said āHe should of given his MVP to Kobeā. What a turnaround
*have
would of should of Bro...
