With the Lebron question I thought he came across as smug.

I actually found that entertaining. He has a tremendous amount of confidence in himself. It's irrational confidence, but it's cool to see regardless.

I watched a few more clips. The LeBron jab was amusing, but the rest is downright hard to watch. Someone needs to tell Kyrie that not everything he says has to be profound. He speaks like he plays basketball, and he needs to get better at picking his spots.

Once the games start, I'll be rooting for him. I disagree with his priorities, and I disagree with the trade, but he's an undeniable offensive talent.

But since you asked, no, Fab Melo is probably my least favorite Celtic of the last five seasons. Sean Williams just missed the cut.

I don't know how else Kyrie could have answered the question without presenting a straight up lie.  He could have refused to answer but at that point why would he even agree to go on First Take?  If Kyrie gave an unfiltered answer then he would probably talk about the media circus surrounding Cleveland, lack of organizational structure, and the double standards that exist on a team led by LeBron.  I honestly believe that Kyrie wanted to go to a team where he could just focus on playing basketball.  I believe he values the cohesiveness at all levels of our organization.  Our coach can coach, our GM can focus strictly on building a title contender, our ownership supports a winning culture, and Kyrie can just play basketball.  I think that sums it up.

I would say without a doubt! Roy has been hatin on him since the trade was announced. Wherever Kyrie Irving is mentioned you will find a negative Roy comment  ::)

All of the Lebron nonsense aside, reading between the lines at some of his comments whenever he's been interviewed...I truly believe he feels that Brad can take him to that level of greatness he strives to be at.  It appears as if the coaching he's been getting is not elevating his game at this point in his career and probably can see the transformation of certain ex celtics players that came thru Brads system and he wants a piece of that bball knowledge.  Brad's a legit basketball mind and players are thriving under his tutelage.  Danny is moving the pieces but it's clear that it's BS that is turning this team into a destination.

We should play Kyrie bingo.

Intent/Intentions
Perfecting craft
Individuals
Human
Evolve
Reality
Journey
Appreciative

It's almost like Kyrie had his agent print up flashcards with buzzwords and phrases, and since then he just practices improvising sentences with those words.

To me, this seems to be the case with most athletes. True, Kyrie uses a few words that others typically don't, but the general approach to the media, for 99% of athletes, is to use the same trite, tired expressions over and over: We played well, We executed, It was an unbelievable performance, blah blah, etc.
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"

I think Kobe has been a huge influence on Kyrie. He sounds like Kobe did when Shaq left.

I think Kyrie is just growing as a basketball player and man and didn't want to be in Bron's shawdow anymore. I can respect him for that...he's ready to take on new challenges of leading.

His brand over winning.

Himself over team.

Didn't realize you and Kyrie had such a close relationship that you can so adeptly assess his priorities.

Lol. Are those things you need to be close friends to assess?

Kyrie has talked about this being a business, and wanting to expand his brand. He felt the need to leave a three-time Finalist to do that.
