For the first time in years, Kyrie Irving is back in the Conference Finals, competing at the highest level with championship aspirations. But this time, he is playing a different role for a different team. Once upon a time, Kyrie was viewed as LeBron’s wingman. Then, media labeled him controversial and not worth the drama. However, today, he is portrayed as an experienced leader with championship DNA, and as a crucial part of a championship-level team.

    Kyrie gave up 100 million just to be right and everyone was too busy hating on the man when they should've been greatful just to watch the man saging in his craft.
  • Kyrie is The Peoples Champ.. When the media is disparaging, best believe youre doing something right.

    Man is a champion and co finals MVP as far as I'm concerned (he went just as crazy as lebron in the 3-1 comeback). And even before lebron came back to cleveland, kyrie was hitting clutch game winners regularly. He is simply built different. When you have a steady presence like that, it gives everyone confidence

    Growing up in the 60’s-70’s in NJ as a Knicks fan, Kyrie is a modern day Walt Frazier. Clyde was cool personified. That’s Kyrie.

    Luka and Dallas likes kyrie that’s all that matters. I like him too. Most important he is a wizard at his craft. One of the best basketball players I have ever seen. I’m not going to be surprised if Dallas wins the chip.

    There is no basketball player in history I respect more than Kyrie. I told my son today not to ever put unknown or suspected materials on or in his body. I told him how his grandmother died from cancer after using baby powder for years. I told him how my grandfather stood up against a mob that gathered outside his store that wanted to harm a Japanese family that was hiding inside. I will also tell him how Kyrie stood up against public health nazis.

    Nice video. I’m a Kyrie fan, he’s just so electric when switched on. Interesting fact: if the NYC governor had acted like every other leader on the planet and given up the mandate, he would have been eligible to play all games instead of only away game (where no one cared about vax status anymore). Madness that he became hated from that, but silly that he did a few stupid things potentially out of frustration. Those were crazy days.

    Kyrie told the damn truth and was railroaded by the media narrative. Like we all were. I couldn’t be happier for Kyrie. He’s an American in every sense of the word. Stood up for free speech, personal choice, went against the narrative of the jab and has been proven right just like the rest of us. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

    The Celtics actually fckd that up. The entire roster admits they weren’t willing to sacrifice because of the previous season success. Jb/terry wanted contracts and minutes,Smart wanted playing time. Everyone hated Gordon starting. Markief Morris was starting Pf and was better than Jb at that point. They had 7 players that were in conflict with playing time. The management refused to make a trade for a big man that could have solved everything

    What the media says about Kyrie is what they wish they could say about Lebron
  • @basscat2107
    There would never be a better story than if Kyrie goes into Boston and wins the NBA title while also winning finals MVP. IN BOSTON

    What I think is--the teaming up of the super talenred Doncic with the older but wiser Kyrie promises to be a rare & rewarding pairing. Kyrie has been wandering about, flirting between one non satisfying team to the next for years; now it seems, at last, that the chemistry is right & the fires finally alight. These two , barring injuries or other unforeseeable events, seem destined for championship level accomplishments. Touch wood, I wish the two of them the ultimate success, along with the entire Dallas squad.

    You rarely hear about all the good Kyrie does. Dallas is doing a good job of it locally but damn this dude would wash feet if it meant it would help someone. Hes sent millions to people in need without even telling them he was. He has literally saved more lives and any athlete.

    How the hell this channel has only 2000 subs. Great content, well edited and excellently narrated!!!
  • @wdynamite782
    U forgot to add Kyrie Irving also made a movie called UNCLE DREW. He's an actor as well.😂
  • @rigmar9250
    Underrated video. You’re actually doing great work here which might be overlooked because your narrating voice is not in your face. I actually like it though, so don’t change or if you do, stay true to yourself
