Kyrie is one of the most misunderstood guys, I can tell he only wants people to be more aware of stuff that’s going on outside of basketball, ain’t nothing wrong with that. Respect

His games made me pay attention to him. His journey keeps me interested in him.

The sensitivity Mike brought to this sit down is amazing. Disarms Ky and allows him to express himself in a genuine, honest, safe way. Great job all around by two men willing to have conversation.

Now, a couple of years later, I completely understand his decisions to not take the vaccine, to leave Brooklyn, etc.. the guy stands for what he believes in, makes decisions that are better for him and doesn’t give a sh*t about the social pressure. The guy is deeply misunderstood. Absolute respect on his name.

Kyrie deserves all the respect that likes of Lebron and KD get

Kyrie coming into maturity shows how he has grown into thinking analytically and being firm in his beliefs.

Now i am 12 years old still Kyrie Irving will forever be my favorite player of all time and my inspiration forever and my drive to get to the NBA i appreciate him for being someone as a good father to his kids a great and humble person he is so misunderstood to many people hes a great basketball player he makes a major impact in my life for not just basketball but many other things for example his humbleness my dad always wants me to be as humble as i can be he wants to see me become better than him i love my father for all that hes done for me i thank Kyrie for everthing if Kyrie sees this message i hope he understands how much of an impact he is in my life and for that thank you Kyrie i appreciate everthing i wish to meet you in person one day that is my one wish before i become an adult

Delighted Kyrie is part of the Mavs. An exceptional player (elite shooting, playmaking, handles, basketball IQ) who will fit well with Luka. It's clear he has a lot of interests / passions off the court, which is absolutely fine as he always play's well on the court. Hopefully we see the best of him this season and the Mavs can compete at the highest level.

Say what you want about Kyrie I like him as an independent thinker

Awesome interview, let’s go Mavs !

My GOAT .. normal human height of 6FT playing a game for giants.. not to mention the hate he gets..

All the best Kai. Let's get a Mavs championship this year! #MFFL

Beautiful. Good luck Kyrie

thank you for giving him a platform to speak!

wow....this was eye opening.....an insight into kyrie's true, authentic self....legendary

7 month later in final I'm speachless ..this interview and kyrie perspective ages like a good wine🤞🏾🎭🏀

I did not know Kyrie is part Indigenous. He's a citizen of the Sioux Tribe.

This is a really well done, tactfully open and vulnerable interview. Great job Mike, and as a life long Mavs fan hoping they can put together a magical season

Support Kyrie, 無論是球場內 or 球場外🥰👍

I don’t care what the media talk about him, I just love kyrie more than ever,follow kyrie for my life,he is my belief ❤❤

Uncle Drew 🎉 The wizard, keep working.

Great interview. Can’t wait to see him tonight 🤞🏽

Kyrie the 🐐

Thank you from sLOVEnia, dear 'Chief Hela' 💚When I first heard you and listened to confession during the time of Covid(same as N.Djoković), I wished that Luka had Kyrie as a teammate. This has come true, and I believe that Luka will be open to listening because he can learn a lot from you about life in general. Luka is a young man who has been fatherless around the world since he was 13.💫

All my homies in Morocco love Kyrie 👑

He deserve a championship and a mvp title and mvp all star game .

I love this interview Kyrie all the best, your one of the GOAT ❤

❤ I'm a female of mixed ethnicity and close ancestral ties with the Potowatomi. Native Americans are very grounded in their sense of everything in nature, in family, in peace, in gratitude, in life, in The Great Spirit whom most call God. I sense that Kyrie's depth comes from his mother's connection to the indigenous people of this land we call America. As a basketball fan, Kai is my 1st or 2nd favorite player (tied with Luka:) But as a human being, Kyrie/"Chief Hela" is exemplary as a representative of not just his Sioux/Lakota tribe but of all tribes of the Native Americans/Indigenous people of whom most of us have some DNA. The explanation of AllEven Tribe was enlightening and I have a great heartfelt admiration for him. WE LOVE YOU, KAI...and thank you to the Mavs for giving him this interview to express who he is, freely, and for embracing him as a person, behind celebrity status, and supporting his philanthropy and the morality and equality he stands for. ❤

KYRIE CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE .. FANTASTIC BROTHA... WE RIDING WITH YOU (IN THE VOICE OF UMAR JOHNSON BORN 21 AUGUST SAME AS WILT "THE RECORD BOOK" CHAMBERLAIN)

Great interview! So glad he's in Dallas now!🤞

My inner child is jumping for excitement. I use to wish Kia would be a Maverick. Dreams do come true. I get him. I respect how he's using his platform. I get what he's saying.

Kyrie Irving is my favorite player of all time since i was six years old thats when i started playing basketball i love and idolize Kyrie and hope to make it to the NBA like he did one day

Kyrie truly one of the Goats of the game what a brilliant basketball mind as well a incredible human being i cant wait to cop his Anta collection and i got a feeling him and luka are going to win a few chips☝🏾

Hi, Kyi!🥰

To be great is to be misunderstood.🤞🤞

Would love to see Drose and Ky discuss something together.

Great Kyrie ❤

Beautiful interview. Well done.

We just want peace bro 🤞🏽

Saying guys or girls when asked how he feels about being an idol is an easily missable part of this interview but says a lot about Kyrie being one of the true proponents of the WNBA

What a beautiful personality we all should aim to be the best person we can be in this life

Amazing stuff.

This guy is a Great in Basketball and one of the most interesting NBA players. Native Pride from Chippewa Cree Tribe to you sir.
