Legler's the only one on this network who really rolls with Dallas. Everyon else is panicking, watching as many highlight clips on KZfaq so they'll look like they've been paying attention.

Now that Jokic is out ESPN can now fully focus their hate on Luka

Why ESPN kept calling Kyrie a supporting cast. Ky is a champion a 5 times conference final appearance. Kyrie averaged over 30 points in 3 NBA finals.

It’s hilarious how ESPN will do anything but give Luka the credit he deserves

espn with their tails in between their legs giving Kyrie props so that they can downplay Luka, Exactly like last year when they made Denvers supporting cast better than the 96 bulls to downplay joker,, what clownssss 😂😂😂😂

Kyrie has been the best teammate for Luka from a mental perspective! Luka has been able to control the floor because of Kyrie as a person on his side. I remember hearing the court reporter saying something to the effect of Luka saying Ky being so important to him from a mental and helping him understand how life is more important than basketball. That chemistry is blossoming to the fullest! I have tickets to Game4 and I can’t wait to watch these guys in person!

Espn won't give luka credit for anything, they've decided they hate him and that's it

This isnt a Batman and Robin Dynamic this is a Batman and Superman dynamic they both nuclear offensive scorers

Luka was the most fit player on the court. He smoked everyone in the 4Th for the W

Wolves don't have a Luka stopper like Dort. The Don's gon cook this round.

Minnesota prepared for two years to beat Denver and Jokic, and they forgot that there is another Serbian-Slowenien Luka Doncic, they are not ready for him

ESPN hates Luka, all he does is prove them wrong but he still doesn’t get credit

Am i the only one that hates when ppl refer to D Wade as a 1b or supporting teammate? The man was the first champion out of that 2003 draft class as THE MAN on his team. 3rd best SG all time behind MJ and Kobe. He aint no supporting character.

Anthony Edwards poked the bear by saying he got Kyrie on national tv after beating the Nuggets in Game 7. Kyrie turned into Uncle Drew when Mavs barely hit any threes and still won. Edwards looked tired and washed up and he is only 22.😂😂

What does that mean: Kyrie's support for Luka? Once a hater always a hater: always remind people that's Kyrie is just a helper.

I love how Luka looks so slow but yet is so fast.

Kyrie has always played D . Most overlooked part of his game

some of us didn't forget how yall treated Kyrie

Losing 5 straight game 1's (before last night) under Kidd is wild.

Biggest story is the evolution of Luca’s defense.

Kyrie is one of the best players ive ever seen period

I’m rooting for Dallas, but let’s not forget what Minnesota did to Denver. It’s only one game. Let’s calm the brakes just a little bit. Hoping Mavs can keep the Ws coming though

If we had back to back white finals mvps they will start saying it’s racism 🙄espn will go crazy

Kyrie is great, but can we talk more about Luka? Or we on the anti-Luka Agenda again?

Oh yea, I remember the Frazier-Monroe backcourt, my favorite backcourt of all time. Knicks took flak for putting them together then, for being too "similar," and we all know what that meant then. Walt and Earl the Pearl...Champs forever!

We can also say that Kyrie is shining since he plays with Luka, Maybe Luka's positive energy created the great chemistry, great to see how they develop and achieve...

Kyrie is the goat

I loved the suppprting actor Oscar analogy, those players deserve credit and not only the 'Batman' player

I had a chance to talk to Kyrie a few months back at a community event. I asked him candidly, "How was his first year in Dallas? He said it a little rough but not due to the city or team it was mostly personal things that he was dealing with, and he laughed, saying Luka was a tough cookie to crack but he's like a brother now. I honestly think thats the change this Mavs team is a family.

I know the Nuggets are out now and everything, but this shows how much of a difference it makes to play with another all star. All stars deliver in every game. Hopefully they get Jokic some help for next season. The bench especially needs to get revamped.

The media told me Minnesota defense would clamp Luka and kyrie 😭😭😭 #ThisIsAmerica 😈

playoff luka is coming back, 2 teams had their chance of eliminating him when he was playing badly and injured, now you deal with the consequences.

ESPN needs to go on an apology tour for the Mavs and Luka

Besides Lue Dort being strong and being into Luka physically, there were two other factors why Dort was more affective: 1. Dort is a reckless defender. Each time Luka beat him he had one eye on him worried that he is going to get hacked from behind or Dort is going to fall hard into him. Dort was literally all over the floor playing football while everyone else was playing basketball. That second guessing what Dort will do once he beat him made Luka miss lots of shots cause his focus was divided on the shot and Dort crashing into him. 2. You could see Luka move much much better the last 2 to 3 games of the OKC series. He is physically better now.

Tim 🥶 The first to call it back in like February or March.

The reason they are working good is because the built chemistry. The media criticizes players when they don't build chemistry immediately which causes fans to say the samething. Its the samething we saw last year with Timberwolves Rudy Gobert, the two teams the were most critical of are in the finals this year. This year we saw they criticized the Suns and Clippers. All the media care about is making someone a star now and give that person all the credit or all the blame and the rest of the team none.

We are witnessing Batman & Superman cooking here.

Now let's see how long Kyrie keeps that smile on his face!

I seen Luka move lue Dort 2 feet backward! Stop it

The only one still bringing up Kyrue past "issues" is Greeny

So theyre like saying kyrie is alfred,luka is bruce wayne.so who's robin

It's working because they're both humble and are playing the game the right way. Simple.

Says the people who said he was going to LA, then when it didnt happened, turned around and said him and Luka wouldnt work out

espn: this is how its going to go. it doesnt go that way. espn: this is how it went.

All I want to see is JJ Reddick as Head Coach for Lakers and Tim Legler be one of his assistant coaches. Make it happen LBJ!

Kyrie's growth as a leader and a mature superstar has helped him clear all the wrong narratives about him. Older and wiser 🧠All we want is for Kyrie Irving to win another ring 😭💪🔥

Was pairing an all star veteran guard with an all star young guard the answer to super teams this entire time?

That headline makes it sound like Kyrie is the help.

#LuKai is the best duo in the league and need to make it known. #LETSGOMAVS

Don't jump on Mavs bandwagon now espn keep that same energy

Luka legacy series

Dort better defender for Luka. McDaniels better for KD. You can be an elite defender/scorer but one happens to have the better match up.

ESPN, your narrative has grown old. Anyone but Luka.

ESPN, I'm not Wade's fan but that guy is or was beast. He wasn't a supporting cast. What he did was called "Leadeship" when he took a step back. Kyrie saved LeBron's legacy and was balling like a mvp. Same goes to KD. U guys always but this man down.

Come on, the Heats was Wade's team wehen Shaq joined the Heats. Shaq was part of Wade's spporting cast.

Y’all doing AntMan dirty. Putting him up on a pedestal, comparing him to MJ, and saying he was going to surpass LBJ as the face of the literal NBA is some nasty work. So desperate to dethrone LeBron that you’re willing to damage AntMan’s brand if or when he falls short.

Where are all the ONE AND DONE PLAYERS OF THE NBA? TALENT IN AMERICA HAS DIMINISHED ENTIRELY.

Kyrie and luka my goats!

I thought the success was due to the trades made at the deadline?

It's crazy how ESPN can basically talk nonstop only about kyrie while calling him second fiddle to doncic Truth is, both are the batman, this is not batman and Robin, this is batman and batman Luka is prob the second or third best player in the league right now, but nobody giving him his flowers cause he is European, and kyrie is not a sidekick to anybody. He is a full on floor general in his own merit, who just happened to meet a guy a guy that is so great that they both can defer to each other.

And luka's support for kyrie was major. Say that.

Everybody complaining about Luka like he’s not playing hurt. He ain’t impacting the game as much as Kyrie is as of right now. Not saying he ain’t effective but Kyrie has to takeover as the Veteran Champion. And remember Antman ( “New Face of NBA” ) is Kyrie’s man. Luka also called Kyrie “Batman” so he’s gonna get more recognition regardless

props to Ky 🙏🏽

its actually disgusting to see the media putting kyrie's meat in their mouth, after saying he should retire multiple times in the past, ESPN has no shame.

Keep calling offensive fouls "seperation". Lol Its crazy that they allow that these days. Luka isnt the only one. Play good defense just to be madden trucked is wild.

The reason they work together, is that everybody around them either shoots the three or is a lob threat, and both of them can pass. If that wasn't the case, they'd be the suns...

Timberwolves will win this series in 6 games

Everybody but Edwards showed up. I thought the rest of the team did a good job for lack of a leader. So much for shutting down Kyrie by the way.

Is there a bromance between Luka and Kyrie?

KYRIE " MAMBA MENTALITY"

Kyrie was smart for standing up to the wokeness of vaccination. Vax free babe!!

The Mavs are beating the T-Wolves in 5 or 6 games. Kyrie has been balling in the playoffs. Edwards ain’t no Jordan or Kobe he’s Toronto’s Vince Carter. Edwards still has too many "meh" games like this and Game 7 vs Denver to be the FACE OF THE LEAGUE. He has everything else you need but the consistency. Just so you all know, the more Kyrie wins this year, the more meaningless the Warriors' 2015 "ring" becomes

Mavs never win game 1. Look out. They are starting to click more and more.

Kyrie didn't make any mistakes nor does he regret making the decisions he made cos he cared about his health

You could tell kyrie and Luka switch role yesterday ... if you watch mavs all year, ky usually play first 5-6 min and Luka plays almost the whole quarter, same goes 3Q ... yesterday told was switched and good it works!

Luka is the closest thing to lebron minus the athleticism. At this age Luka basketball IQ is higher than 25 year old lebron. If you like/love how lebron plays then you should support Luka. The only reason why black people dont support him is they can’t stand not having a person of their color the face of the league.

Kyrie is unstoppable and Luka unstoppable the wolves gotta stop the role players

WTH is he talking about? Luka has been a Professional Basketball player since his early Teens in foreign countries. He does not need taking care of, just give the guy his flowers honestly it's pathetic.

Media always try to son kyrie in some shape or fashion. Luka’s LEANING on kyrie heavily thru this playoff run. Stop the bs

there is a whole bunch of armchair experts in the comment section LOL

lol it’s probably hard for espn to give Kyrie any kind of credit we know that company hates him with a passion 😂

I want Kyrie 😂😂😂😂 well you got him

Edwards is not even worth to be compared to an old Jordan. Even a 45 yr old Jordan will not TIRE that easily.

Kyrie never made any mistakes

Kyrie helping the nike out

Wolves get cooked. They can’t stop Kyrie & Luka.. nice. Gooo Mavs 🔥

Is kyrie going to be wearing a emotional support jacket, while playing with Luka?

ANT MAN #23 VS KYRIE #8#24 GRAB YOUR POPCORN 🍿

0-3 from 3 😂😂😂

Kyrie >> Steph Curry >>>>>>>>> Dame. If Dallas wins the title...kyrie made Luka into a defensive player.. Luka could make 3rd team all defense next year at this rate.

This actually awful considering how Kai (CHAMPION) stepped up his leadership and buy in to a team that’s won nothing. 😂 see media easy fix

Comment section is the weirdest place today 😂. People made for no reason.

these company men pundits should be apologising to Kyrie for the disgusting authoritarian garbage rants they went on about him during Covid

KYRIE IRVING IS A CHAMPION ... HES A UNDERRATED SUPERSTAR ... A LOT GUYS LIKE BRAIN W WERE HUGE KYRIE HATERS, INTERESTING HOW THE TONE CHANGES ... STEPHEN A SMITH IS A HORRIBLE ANALYST ...

They are setting kyrie up to take the blame for Luka.

LET'S GO MAVS SEVEN MORE DUBS TO GO AND JOBS NOT FINISHED

Lmaoo how the turntables now, wasn't ESPN asking Kyrie to retire like a season ago? losers

2:47 It's ESPN and the media that made all the "mistakes" pertaining to trying to smear Kyrie's name. And they are the ones who are trying to correct their mistakes and get on the bandwagon. I still think they are all praying the Mavs don't win a championship. You all tried to Break a strong black Man down and failed, so the next best thing is to latch onto his success. Pathetic......

Kyrie will do to Luka what he did for Lebron. Win a ring.

luka is the best in the world by far and anybody who says something else is just a salty hater!!!
