Funnest season of Mavs basketball since the 2011 title run!! Congrats to the Celtics on the win, but best believe we're coming back to get that trophy real soon!!!!
“There’s a lot of people in the hoop world who owe this man public apologies. Some of y’all tried to bury this dude and kill his career based on what you heard and not what you know… [Kobe] would be proud.”
Former Cavs and Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy took to IG to defend Kyrie Irving 😤
(via @94feetofgame)
Kyrie Irving. Uncle Drew. Ankletaker. Kai.
The man of many names, deepest bags, unmatched layup packages.
Arguably the best handles in the history of the game. Arguably the most skilled player to ever touch a basketball.
But throughout his career, Kyrie's been criticized, scrutinized and hated for off court business that is nobody's but his own.
Amid all the drama, fans forgot just how good of a basketball player Kyrie is when playing freely, and more importantly, playing happy.
Despite his not-so-happy endings with the Cavs, Celtics and Nets, the Mavs took a chance on him, and helped him become the best version of himself.
As a Mav, Kyrie has been more efficient than ever before in his 13-year NBA career:
🔸Highest career FG%
🔸Highest career 3P%
🔸Highest career FT%
The doubters and the haters might've forgotten just how good Kyrie is, but the Mavs didn't.
They believed in Kyrie, and he's rewarding them for it.
Mavs Kyrie is a happy Kyrie. Happy Kyrie is the best version of Kyrie.
The best version of Kyrie is 7 wins away from ring #2 💍
