PLACE TRIED TO GET OFF INTO FOUL EMBIID BYNUM THAT WAS FIGHTING. NO, NO, IT’S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT. >> KYRIE FROM DEEP DALLAS UP 12. >> AND THEN CHECK THIS OUT. YOU CAN’T. >> YOU JUST GOT TO HOPE YOU MISS AND DEAL WITH THE RESULTS BECAUSE THAT’S RIDICULOUS. THAT’S A ONE

IRVING HAD IT 21. >> WHOA. >> IT DON’T MATTER TWO LUKA THREE TO END THE HALF 1510 AND FIVE AT THE BREAK DALLAS WAS UP 18. >> GET UP. THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE GAME I KNOW IT HAD ALL THAT HIGH FLIER HE WAS IN. >> UNCLE DREW WITH HIM KYRIE

JULIUS IRVING 22 POINT LEAD FOR DALLAS LUKA LOVING IT. TAKE OFF THE GLASS OF SHAQ. LET HIM KNOW WHAT WHAT LEFKOE HIS LAST NAME IS IRVING. >> SO IT GOES WITH JULIUS. >> THAT’S THE ONLY REASON THAT SHAQ FAVORITE PLAYER DON’T PLAY. >> NO DON’T PLAY OKAY. UH NOBODY DISRESPECTS THE DOC

ON MY WATCH. I GET IT. >> MIKAL BRIDGES SINGLE HANDEDLY TRIES TO BRING THE NETS BACK INTO THIS ONE. >> BEN SIMMONS IN TRANSITION DOWN 12 IN THE SHOOTER. DINWIDDIE SAYS LET’S GET IT CLOSER. >> STUTTER. AND ONE OFF THE GLASS A SIX POINT DEFICIT. BUT IN THE END TOO MUCH

DALLAS TOO MUCH KYRIE IRVING KYRIE 36 LUKA 35. THEIR. THIRD GAME AS TEAMMATES WITH 35 PLUS TYING THE FRANCHISE RECORD WITH MARK MCGUIRE AND ROLANDO BLACKMAN. HOW ABOUT THAT? LUKA DONCIC? ANOTHER BIG GAME. BUT AFTERWARDS IT WAS ALL ABOUT KYRIE AND SOME QUOTES. TAKE A LISTEN. >> THE MAN OF THE EVENING

RIGHT HERE KYRIE IRVING. AND YOU RETURN TO BROOKLYN GAME HIGH 36 POINTS MAN WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU COMING BACK. >> UH JUST REALLY FOCUSED I SAW YOU SITTING THERE, YOU KNOW, WATCHING ME GET PREPARED FOR THIS GAME. >> YOU KNOW I’M SUPER DIALED IN, UM, AND JUST WANTED THIS

WIN FOR MY TEAMMATES. AND I KNOW THEY WANTED ME TO HAVE A GOOD PERFORMANCE HERE, SO I’M GRATEFUL THAT THEY WERE RIGHT BY MY SIDE. BUT, UH. YEAH, FULL TEAM EFFORT. YOU WERE HERE ALMOST FOUR HOURS BEFORE TIP. BEFORE ANY NETS PLAYER, BEFORE ANY MAVS PLAYER. I SAW YOU GOING AND

GREETING THE USHERS, THE STAFFERS AND THE NETS. WHAT DID THE RECEPTION TONIGHT MEAN FOR YOU TONIGHT? IT FELT AMAZING, MAN. I MADE SOME INCREDIBLE RELATIONSHIPS, MAN. I MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS HERE. A LOT OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT I’M GOING TO HAVE FOR A LIFETIME. AND THEY REALLY

WELCOME ME HOME. I’M REALLY A NEW JERSEY KID THAT GOT A CHANCE TO PLAY FOR THE NEW JERSEY NETS. REALLY. THE BROOKLYN NETS. BUT I GOT TO LIVE OUT MY DREAM AND THAT’S ALL I COULD ASK FOR. LASTLY JASON KIA SAID, THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY WANTED TO SEE YOU

AND LUKA OUT THERE DOING, YOU DOING YOUR THING. WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE CEILING IS FOR YOU GUYS WHEN YOU GUYS ARE ON THE FLOOR TOGETHER? OH MAN, TBD RIGHT NOW JUST BECAUSE WE GOT TO GET HEALTHY, MAN. WE MISSING OUR BIGS. SHOUT OUT TO DLIVE MAN. YOU JUST HAD NO

SURGERY. SO WE WE’VE BEEN HITTING THE INJURY BUG A LITTLE BIT THIS SEASON. BUT WE DON’T WANT TO MAKE ANY EXCUSES. WE JUST WANT TO BE OUT THERE WHEN WE’RE FULLY READY 100% AND BE COMPETING WITH THE BEST. >> SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE THE DALLAS MAVERICKS GET LOST. THEY ARE EIGHTH IN THE

WEST RIGHT NOW, SITTING AT 28 AND 23, BUT TWITTER WAS LOVING THIS. I’M GOING TO BE WATCHING THAT KYRIE ALLEY-OOP THE REST OF THE WEEK. KYRIE AND LUKA PUTTING ON A SHOW AND ALL LOVE FOR KYRIE. AFTER HIS RETURN TO BROOKLYN TONIGHT. ONE OF THE FEW PLAYERS THAT I FEEL LIKE

NBA PLAYERS WOULD WANT TO SIT COURTSIDE AND WATCH JAMAL TO SEE THIS KIND OF PERFORMANCE FROM HIM. WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR YOU? >> IT WAS EXPECTED LIKE KYRIE IS MUST SEE TV. THE THING ABOUT HIM IS YOU KNOW HE’S GOING TO PUT ON A SHOW. HE WAS EMOTIONAL BUT HE

CONTROLLED HIS EMOTIONS. AND IF YOU WATCH HOW HE GOT TO HIS SPOTS HE’S DANCING EVERY SINGLE TIME HE’S GETTING TO HIS SPOTS. HE’S PLAYING LIKE HE’S SIX SEVEN WHEN HE ACTUALLY DOES HIS FINISHES AND WHEN HE’S SHOOTING OVER THE TOP OF PEOPLE AND RIGHT HERE, THE THING WHEN YOU’RE GUARDING KYRIE, I DIDN’T

HAVE THE LUXURY OF GUARDING HIM TOO MUCH. WHEN YOU’RE GUARDING HIM, YOU’RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIM SCORING. YOU DON’T WANT TO BE EMBARRASSED BECAUSE IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA AREA YOU’LL SEE IT EVERYWHERE. AND HE’S JUST KYRIE IS A JOY TO WATCH. PLAYS A JOY TO WATCH TO COMPETE AGAINST. AND HE’S

ONE OF THE SPECIAL ONES. >> THERE’S SEEMINGLY THIS TIME LIMIT THAT WE GIVE TO YOUNG STARS. NOW YOU HAVE SO MUCH PROMISE. YEAR TWO. OH YOU HAVE SO MUCH PROMISE. THEN YOU GET TO YEAR SEVEN. IT’S WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WIN? WHERE ARE WE WITH LUKA RIGHT NOW?

>> I THINK WE’RE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT EXPECTATION. I THINK LUKA SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE BY LEADING. LEADING THE MAVS. TO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS IN THE MANNER THAT HE DID, BEING ABLE TO DEFEAT PHOENIX AND GET THERE. I DON’T THINK IT’S A QUESTION OF WHETHER THIS GUY CAN

SCORE. I DON’T THINK IT’S A QUESTION OF WHETHER HE CAN FACILITATE. I THINK IT’S A QUESTION OF WHETHER DALLAS CAN CONTINUE TO PLAY THIS STYLE OF BASKETBALL AND BE SUCCESSFUL. AND I THINK IN THE NEXT 2 OR 3 YEARS, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET LOUDER IN WHAT, GOING TO

KNOW WHAT THE MAVS ARE GOING TO DO. BUT AGAIN, I THINK A BIG MAN LIVELY’S COME IN AND PLAYED WELL AND HE’S UPPED HIS LEVEL OF PLAY BECAUSE OF LUKA. I THINK IF THEY’RE ABLE TO GET THAT PIECE IN, I MEAN, LUKA IN THE PICK AND ROLL IS PICK YOUR POISON,

RIGHT? HE’S GOING TO MAKE YOU CHOOSE WRONG EVERY TIME. >> VERY EXCITED FOR MAVERICKS. KNICKS ON THURSDAY KYRIE DID TAKE THE PODIUM AFTER THE GAME TO ADDRESS HIS TENURE IN BROOKLYN. I WANT YOUR TAKE ON IT. SO LET’S TAKE A LISTEN. >> WHILE I WAS HERE I’VE LEARNED A LOT OF LESSONS.

>> I’VE MADE MY PEACE AGAIN. >> LIKE I SAID, AND I JUST WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. >> YOU KNOW, THINGS COULD HAVE CHANGED AND WE LOOK BACK AT THE PAST AND YOU HAVE 2020 VISION. >> THIS COULD HAVE GONE RIGHT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, IF I DIDN’T GET

INJURED VERSUS THE BUCKS. DO I GET DO I STILL ASK FOR A TRADE IF KATIE’S FOOT WASN’T ON THE THREE POINT LINE, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT LEGACY HERE? IF JAMES DOESN’T ASK FOR A TRADE, ALL THE WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA WOULD IS. HOPEFULLY AFTER THIS NIGHT, WE CAN JUST PUT

THAT TO REST AND JUST MOVE FORWARD AND NOT HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE REST OF MY CAREER. SO HE LOOKS BACK AND SAYS, IF KATIE HITS THAT THREE, ARE WE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF TEAM? >> IF I DON’T GET HURT, WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON HIM TRYING TO END THE WHOLE

DISCUSSION ABOUT HIS TENURE WITH THE NETS? >> I MEAN, YOU KNOW, HE’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE ASKED ABOUT IT, BUT ALL OF US AS PLAYERS HAVE A WI-FI. I SHUDDER. HOW COME I SO I MEAN, HE’S RIGHT. LIKE HE’S HE’S WITH A DIFFERENT TEAM. HE WAS HE’S WITH A DIFFERENT

ORGANIZATION. YOU KNOW, I ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR THAT QUESTION WHEN YOU COME BACK. SO I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB OF ANSWERING THAT QUESTION. BUT LISTEN WE ALL HAVE THAT. WHAT IF I SHOT LIKE STEPH CURRY. WHAT IF I SHOT 70% FROM THE FREE THROW LINE.

>> YOU GONNA GO ALL THE WAY TO STAY IN ORLANDO? >> WHAT IF ALL THIS TATUM. >> THERE’S NO IN-BETWEEN? >> YOU GO ALL THE WAY STEPH CURRY SHAQ YOU AIN’T GOING. YEAH THERE’S NO IN BETWEEN. >> ARE I THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT ALL THE
