Mark Cuban believes Kyrie Irving is misunderstood after Mavericks trade | Draymond Green Show

What’s up everybody Welcome to the Draymond Green Show YouTube channel make sure you hit that subscribe button make sure you like the post that you love thank you you made one of the controversial moves as of late in the NBA um and going going out to get Kyrie

Irving for a variety of reasons actually was talking about Kyrie Irving on podcast a couple nights ago do just run and throw a left hand running hook like and like oh my God you can’t even talk about that it’s like out of 2K right it’s not even real like why would

You do that like what would entice you to try that like at that moment in the game but he is that skilled first on right that he’s probably already shot that ball you know that same shot maybe from not 21 feet but from 18 or you know

15 feet yes he has Kyrie is one of the most if not the most skilled guy in the NBA um but at the time he had been going through the things with uh uh the the Jewish video the anti- Semitic video that everyone was speaking about that it

Was on his Instagram and he had been suspended with the covid uh not suspended but uh ruled out due to the covid vaccine and all of those things and you took it upon yourself you Nico and your style uh took it upon on yourselves and say no we we want this

Guy like what was the thinking behind and then also knowing that he’s a free agent and could walk like what was the thinking behind uh process going get Kyrie one when you watch Kai back then and now after any game he’s hugging Five Guys yes yes he is you know it’s not

Like high five quick hug walk off the court he’s hugging you like you’re related yes he is you know and that that’s different and when you talk to people around him before we did the deal nobody disliked them everybody loved them when you talk to teammates you know

Current and former loved them right and when you asked them what the issue was it was like well you know media you know and Kyrie’s just a caring guy and sometimes he lets that heart come through and the media doesn’t appreciate I’m like I can deal with the media

This is Dallas I’ve grown up dealing with the media I’ll take all those bullets like I’ve done for other guys you know and then Nico knows him and you know help is shoe Nico’s like this guy’s great everybody you know I know the kid he’s a good kid he’s got a great heart

Just you know bad situation if Co never happened probably be a completely different situation right so we’re like okay let’s go for it and let me just tell you I love K to death you know the more I talk to him he’s just he’s got a

Heart of gold right and he cares about too many things right if he’s got a problem it’s like he’s too caring about too many things he’s the dude like when you’re um when you’re in college and you and your guys are talking about alcohol and getting drunk and you know girls he

Wants to talk about world peace and the indigenous um tribes of Australia right and you know everything else is off limits everybody else is doing their thing right I just wants to open up and talk about that and when you’re on social media and you’re talking to the

Media about those things there’s no Nuance in this world any world anymore right they’re not going to get that and like Kai and I will talk like after Hamas attack Israel right and we’re talking and we’re like I’m like what do you think Kai and he’s like look

Terrorist is wrong right but how can you not feel for the the you know not only the people that got slaughtered in Israel but what’s going to happen to the Gins right and what’s going to happen he’s not like taking sides and he’s certainly against terrorism and he’s

Like clear I’m against terrorism but he wants to feel how other people feel you know he he respects that pain you know and it’s not just you know the Middle East it’s Australia it’s Sudan it’s you know American Indians in in this country it’s Lakota tribe like I’m sending him

Links to documentaries on the Lakota tribe right he wants to learn and he wants to care about those things and how many people do you know like that yeah that’s a fact not many so that’s a special person he is I mean he’s somebody that when you get you know

There’s certain people when you hug them you feel who they are 100% that’s Kyrie Irby 100% did you take as a Jewish man though did you take like did you get a lot of backlash from like Jewish friends or Jewish family members because yeah

Yeah no but the minute I talk to him I’m like dude I talk to him he’s not anti-semitic yes I people who are more anti-semitic than he is right he’s not you just got to talk to him and you know but Kyrie did have to

Adjust right he had to like we had a conversation like look Kai you can’t say these things in on social media or wherever expect people to understand how you feel about them so you have to be a little bit more careful and he goes you’re right I will be and he has

Been and he has been it’s absolutely wonderful to watch I’m happy for Kai we got a chance to win an Olympic medal together in 2016 and built a really good relationship and I’m happy to see him doing what he loves thriving at it and not having to deal with all of the stuff

That he doesn’t like to deal with I mean the joy in his eyes like he’s bringing his his his daughter into the locker room after every game and his kids when they’re there I mean it’s just he brings joy to what he does and he’s the first

To tell you this is my profession I want to be great at my craft I want to be the best all time but I also want to be a human being because I got to live a much longer life after I’m done playing but I

Want to have my tribe right I want to have my community that’s important to me and you know we don’t talk about it as much now as we did during the offseason but you know just being able to communicate with him about those things it’s special and it’s like now with

Ramadan right it’s not like okay no it’s okay let’s make sure we have food ni and I have the conversation the minute that sun goes down feed the guy there you go absolutely we were play I forget where we were playing um oh my God it wasn’t

Anyways looking you could tell what time it was right and the minute he got a time out he ran to the back and he came out with some food and everything and I’m like oh right we got to do this right I didn’t even think about it

Originally and it was like the first day of Ramadan and so Nico and I talked and okay we’re gonna get this right for him and you know it’s just those little things that when you respect a player you know from Luca to Kai to all the way

Down you when you respect them they know it right and try to do things and it helps no one it does help and that’s what makes guys want to come back and stay somewhere for their entire careers for the rest of their careers uh it it
