Stephen A. & Shannon Sharpe APPLAUD Kyrie Irving 👏 'A MAGICIAN ON THE COURT!' | First Take 

Stephen always said kyrie was great. And it wasnt just because he didn't take the vaccine. It was because of everything. The vaccine, randomly going missing, promoting anti semitic propaganda. Stephen As point was that he seems so much more focus on everything else and he's completely tuned out of basketball. So if he's so tuned out of basketball he should just retire.

Yes cuz he was acting sus

@@jos76e831you the one who’s sus

The same Kyrie who was showing that he didn’t really want to play lol. FINALLY we can finally look at and talk about something he’s doing on the court for once

@@thekingbradablewhen did he show that. Y’all really jus be saying anything

Pepperidge Farm remembers

Remember when Kyrie kept himself off the court for things tht could of been avoided? I do

​​@@lightningjuniorsuper like taking a fake shot nobody need it in the first place or posting the same movie shaq had playing in his theather i remember 😂 lame

@@lightningjuniorsupersheep

Yes I do two separate times because Kyrie tweeted a movie link (media did not outrage about Amazon holding the movie) and when Kyrie refused the vaccine.

Not the person you should be quoting 😂

​@@ChaseNSmokeTake your stupid MAGA hat off and keep loving broke back mountain. Moron 🤡

@@ChaseNSmokewhy not? Did he break any laws or something

@@Brandonmv it doesn't matter if he broke laws, the behavior clause is in his contract. Just like with any other job in this country. How don't y'all understand that part?

@@tbrooks. then why didn’t you tag the person that I replied to?

Don't do that. Context matters.

@@leonjahslion believe me despite being a Kyrie diehard, I’m not delusional… he was more than deserving of criticism. However telling him to retire because of something outlandish and out of his control was unwarranted and was only even tolerated because of the negative momentum against Kyrie at the time

@@leonjahslionyes do that. Stephen A is a clown. He said that.

@@leonjahslionit’s true tho people bashed tf outta this man off of his choice not to long ago now y’all praise nah homie keep that same energy y’all had in 2022 🤡

Never due to skill.he just had some mental things he was going thru

They only do it when they win lol

They’ve been shitting on both of them for so long as next game we lose they will say the same bs

You can't be a straight man saying this SMH

It ain't that deep

Im a dallas guy and i never hear them talk bad about Luka and Kyrie offensively. Its only defensively. Which they aint lying about that.

Nobody dines w MJ

@@erikpuka2627mj stans are insufferable

it’s literally practice, don’t discredit the work he put in. It’s thousands of hours spent in an empty gym working on technique

​@erikpuka2627 you right Bron better

@@ClassicallyChristionmannnn 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

didnt make all star

No bro

😂😂😂😂

That's disrespectful to Luka bro,Luka is the best player in the game right now,it's between him & The Joker, Kyrie is not even on the list, If wasn't for Luka hitting that 3 from the logo and tying the game Kyrie wouldn't have had that chance to win the game

@@dalegriffin6768why can’t they both be ?

Ever*

He has already did, while in bkn

Facts but I think he did it before

Since Kyrie is in Dallas, the media over there mostly focuses on the cowboys.

Beeen doing that since his Cavs days

​@@tigerhoods7927 Yes, he did it before, but the 50% from the field is meaningless if a person shoots mostly 3's, like Curry, Buddy Heild, and I guess Lillard.....even Al Horford shoots mostly 3's....and Duncan on Miami. A person who hits 40-3's our of one-hundred tri3s , has an effective field goal percentage of 60% for those 3's.......because that's 120 points (3×40=120)÷2=60%........its as good as someone shooting 60/100 from 2's.........whoever has the best effective field goal percentage is the better shooter from the field, because they're scoring the most points. Of course, free throws add to your scoring totals. I like math.....I hated weed, it stinks.....beer stinks too.

pause

Nah. Michael Jordan. Go watch his lay up and finishing package. Especially through contact and multiple defenders

@@nathanoppy mj and kyrie lowkey got the same packages still... it's just mj bring vertically with it unlike kyrie.

Sure, for normal people. Playing like a superstar in an intense full NBA game after not eating or drinking the entire day, sweating buckets...come on that's borderline superhuman

@@kuruptzZz I had no idea he wasn't taking in fluids. I thought it was just a food thing.

@@rmrlawnet Yup - sunrise to sunset, no food or drink. Guy was parched!

What side? He's never insulted Kyrie's talent. Context matters.

@@ChaseNSmoke he’s a hater. He hates Kyrie and definitely hates Luka and the mavs. We don’t need him to validate our organization

​@@HookahDoncic98well hes not going amywhere anytime soon so...

@@HookahDoncic98 he doesn't hate Kyrie. They've had disagreements. But he's always praised his talent.

​@@HookahDoncic98nah sas look fair yall just player fangirl

the thing is, He doesn’t have a off hand

@@junkbuster2521fax

Kyrie is left handed bruh

Nope😂

​@DonGivani Argubly is his manipulation of the ball is the best I ever seen. A complete offensive arsenal both hands. The league is lucky he's not 6"6

@@GOATZELWARDBANDWAGON. Go watch Pete Marevic tape or even White Chocolate

​@@DonGivaniAnd go watch kyrie left handed hookshots over a 7 footer. Dude has a post game at 6"1. Once again I said argubly it's not a laughable statement.

Nah brah don't let the media lead you like sheep

Nah nets kyrie was different

He didnt have issues with anyone, people had issues with him.

Yeah that tends to happen when THE MEDIA focuses on off court issues bc they wanna report gossip like tmz instead of sports. Local media in Dallas has had sense enough to ignore everything else and only focus on basketball. The national media ignores him until they can't anymore, hence this segment.

" And those seen dancing were called insane by those who could not hear the music " said Nietzsche. Kyrie dances to the beat of his own drum and this leads to him being misunderstood by people who never take the time to understand his point of view.

@@tonymckinney1355 Kyrie's name generates EXTREME headlines and ratings. The media targeted him for the clicks and advertising revenue

I mean he doesn't. Do not justify a post game with a party trick shot that he doesn't normally do.

@@Squeezemycrackers no he genuinely has a post game. i dont think you watch actual kyrie footage rather than highlights

I don't know what to tell you if you thought that shot was a post move lol ..

I vividly remember his spin around on Curry in the block. Get out of here with that.

@@soufatldude700ky got a compilation on RU-vid just post move that guy don’t know what he talking about

It always happens

Fr that's ridiculous

Because they’re similar in game. Why wouldn’t they bring up one of the best ball handlers and scorers with another? It’s a good comparison.

No need to bring up Iverson. Just bring up Boston or Brooklyn 🤡

@@adriansmith2295 lmfaooo

Royce O Neal and Josh Okogie are solid defenders, but no elite defenders if that’s what you mean.

Facts

They can't rebound when it matters either, 0 bench and the 1 star on the bench (Bol), Frank doesn't play him. 1st round exit.😂

Bro, what’s their defensive record, they 12th overall for the season and 7th since January, people like u who don’t watch basketball are the ones who take one game and say they can’t play defense, but you haven’t been watching much, ur just like Steven A and Shannon, they don’t watch enough basketball

@@Ahmed-uu9rothey one of the best rebounding teams in the nba so that’s a lie

I hope so. 3 statues would be amazing! Dirk, Kyrie, and Luka!! #MFFL

I wonder why...

You mean Luca Mabrick?

Dam 😂 that's so dope Kool 💯 congratulations 🎉

Yeah, a false ceremon

Lmao 😂

they really aren't. Mavs wouldn't get more than one game in a playoff series against Denver. Denver didn't show up to most of this regular season game and still almost won

Watch the game the nuggets down 12 and boom like that took the lead, Murray messed up the last play. The nuggets are coasting they are dangerous number 1 in clutch defense and offense look how fast they tied the game

Facts over racks 💯👍

he always cared. he just cared about himself first.

Top 5 when he's focused

Y’all say when he cares like how can we fault a man for putting him first it’s very relatable yet people keep taking jabs at him

@@ghosting6723and taking jabs 😂🤣

@@chrisdamon1096 He was always focused. The media just focused on other things because it generated headlines and ratings

Nuggets 4-1

Nuggets 4-1 or 4-2

Mavs 4-3

Kyrie wins at least two games

You can always score more if you play more mins or take more shots so should not be used in MVP discussions as its usually coach who decides that. Assists and turnovers also matter. The advanced stats should be considered more if Ky is to really be noticed. The non trained eye just sees skills and circus shots (which makes it even more crazy..!)

Yea and they act like the Warriors got swept it took a 3-1 comeback and a game winning three in game 7 to beat them.... 4-2 Warriors ( no Kd, Love or Kyrie) 4-3 Cavs (no KD), 4-1 Warriors, 4-0 Warriors ( no Kyrie)

Ahah. He is fitting well ne t to Luka

@@jambifats9 Yeah true and they made some good trades getting Gafford and Washington. I'm just thinking down the road maybe who would pair well with Wemby as a second man that could contend for titles. So far, for me it would be a player like Kyrie, Halliburton, Mitchell, Fox, Booker, Brunson. I know there are more too. And, honestly I would not be surprised if Steph, if he feels the Warriors are done, finished his career with Pop and Wemby in SA to get a couple more rings. He has a good relationship with Pop.

No one wants to get traded to the Spurs. The Spurs only grow superstars in house, not attract them. So nah, Kyrie to Spurs is super unlikely

@@kf_01 I hear you and it is not likely, but I dod think in this case playing next to Wemby might draw someone like an Irving to win a chip with him as a young star. It is a different NBA and players chase rings for legacies. I mean I could see Steph playing his last few years with the Spurs. Could you imagine Steph playing with Wemby?
