Kyrie Irving Discusses Being Embraced by City of Dallas, “Special Feelings” With Dallas & Dunking

Kyrie Irving Discusses Being Embraced by City of Dallas, “Special Feelings” With Dallas & Dunking

You said in San Antonio you feel like Benjamin Buton how does it how did it feel tonight overall I’m glad he threw it man it’s the trust it’s trust of our team you know uh some of my teammates were laughing at me a few weeks ago when

I told them to throw me a lot but guess Who’s laughing now no it feels good though man it’s good stuff Kyrie I asked this to uh Daniel and Derek but what do you think the role of points in the paint can uh do for your team moving forward heading into the

Playoffs uh I think it’s it’s vital for us to continue to attack the paint um test teams at The Rim um it’s most efficient shot in basketball uh as close as you can get 15 feet and below and uh just want to continue to have that mentality to

Attack other teams and um if they’re not going to stop us uh then keep going so I I think it can help us tremendously as we get ready for playoffs describe what you guys got out of the gap for tonight I know he had seven ducks in the second

Half yeah no he was being himself and uh being a presence um kind of on that backside when Kessler was stepping up and trying to block a lot of shots so he he got rewarded uh far penetration uh going down in the lane and uh just

Throwing it up there to him um you know it’s a it’s a true luxury that I don’t take for granted having a big like that and also dive and have live threats like that where where anytime uh you get stagnant in the paint you could just

Throw it around the rim to go get it important is this a five game Road Trip coming up considering what’s that stake every game is important man it’s it’s been that way for the last few weeks so nothing’s really changed on that end Kyrie now that you’ve been here for

Over a year I was curious how what have you thought of the city of Dallas as a whole and how its people have embraced you so far uh I mean I think it’s it’s a little bit deeper than just being embraced by the Dallas Community um you know

It’s for me just getting adjusted here and getting established um as one of the community leaders um while also um you know not trying to do too much uh you know I have my own beliefs and Views and I think being here in Dallas I’ve been

Accepted um you know Way Beyond just my talent on the court I think it’s for what I represent uh in the broader world and how I try to make impact and try to help a lot of different walks of life and stand on things that a lot of people

Wouldn’t stand on uh so I think that’s the genu connection I have here and I think the fans relishing that just being able to uh sometimes get to touch me when I’m going out there uh just to warm up or um you know during my shoe launch

Or or just different things that we do within the Maverick’s uh you know philanthropic arm to I think we do a good job of just making sure that uh the community feels us they know that we’re here and um you know they also know what

We’re doing off the court so I try to have a balance all those things and uh when I see people in public I make sure that they know that I’m a human being first and please don’t approach me with all the the you know the extra fandom

And stuff like that cuz that could make me feel uncomfortable if I’m just trying to pump gas you know so you guys know exactly what I’m saying just uh I don’t mind the phandom It’s just sometimes I just want to be treated like a regular human being I don’t say sometime I want

To be treated like a human being and just how are you how you doing and a handshake in a picture goes a long way I try to remember everybody’s names I introduce myself and the little things like that make a lasting impact so that’s what I try to do here

Describe what happened on the play when Luca DOA m c threw it over his shoulder to you and you lobed it up to DJ it’s a great play man great play uh that’s when you know we’re rolling we’re feeling good uh when we do um kind of those

Selfless plays on the Fly and and we’re trying to create some momentum for ourselves um you know tonight we had you know a few minutes where we threw the ball around and they got some open shots and they were feeling good about themselves but and then you can see that

We uh turned it back up a little bit more got some defensive stops and when our you know one of our star players is on the floor then everybody’s got to get on the floor and that’s just what it is that’s the example that we set and we

Follow and um I think it just sets the tone for the rest of the team on what we have to do in order to win ball games so if he’s on the floor we all got to get on the floor um I know I ask you this

All the time about being a leader but how does it feel to be able to translate that onto the court like you guys did tonight you look know it feels great uh and it’s something that we don’t take for granted because it’s taking time to build and we’ve had to be patient we

We’ve had to uh build through adversity and and also some of our failures and and I think that’s been the beautiful aspect of it is just through our suff our struggles uh we’ve been able to come out on the other side and uh see some some glimmer of light and uh turn it

Into wins uh you know we we were sitting here what two weeks ago and we had lost four out of our last five and you know we were just going back and forth within the locker room on on how we can get on the same page and get aligned and stay

Aligned and build that consistency and I feel like we’re figuring that out still but um we’re putting game to game quarter to quarter together and and turned out for a good good sight man for the fans for us and you can tell when the excitement is in the in the arena

Whether we’re on the road and especially at the AAC man it’s just since that game winter man I could feel the it’s pulsing in here you know it feels like a special year so that’s gave you guys 18 dunks tonight I mean hey man momentum momentum

Man momentum can carry you a long way so that’s it thanks guys luk said thank you for the Lot
