    best closer in the league. Harden could never

  2. Internetcowboy

    sounds almost dumb to say but people genuinely forget how massive and instrumental he was to the 3-1 comeback in 2016, like this dude knows clutch, he’s somehow been underrated after putting up 40 point games in the brightest moments

  3. DefiniteSauce12

    Got further than KD and didn’t get a choice on where to go

  4. Kyrie is low key repairing his career reputation in Dallas. Man is clearly an all time great

    League is FUCKED when Luka gets his 3 Ball back and joins this flamethrower

    The Mavs 2024 playoffs in Kyrie’s redemption tour!

    I was critical when he first joined the Mavs but thank god I was wrong

    Kyrie saved the Mavs tonight. Just a spectacular second half. Don’t even know what to do but shake my head and laugh at the stuff he does. The trade for him was highway robbery.

  9. growsonwalls

    His game is very well-rounded. Like a sphere.

    2nd half kyrie is insane and if he can continue this against okc it will make it even better

  11. Dymatizeee

    If kyrie tells me the earth is flat, then the earth is flat

    Kyrie is unstoppable when he’s on and not galaxy braining people. Gotta love how he’s flipping his haters.

    Wow and LeBron has an insane closeout record too. When they were on the same team they must have destroyed. Let’s check.

    **2015**

    Game 4 vs Boston: won by 8

    Game 6 vs Chciago: won by 21

    Game 4 vs Atlanta: won by 30

    **2016**

    Game 4 vs Detroit : won by 2 (oops)

    Game 4 vs Atlanta : won by 1 (oops)

    Game 6 vs Toronto : won by 26

    Game 7 vs Golden State : beat winningest team of all time on the road when Draymond had 32 points on 15 shots. (by 4)

    **2017**

    Game 4 vs Pacers : won by 4

    Game 4 vs Raptors : won by 7

    Game 5 vs Boston : won by 33

    Total record (10-0) average margin of victory (13.6)

    Kyrie 🤝🏿 Kendrick at being the boogeyman late

  15. OperationUpstairs887

    It’s like he does this on purpose lol

  16. jumpijehosaphat

    i could have sworn kyrie played games 6 and 7 versus the bucks in 2021 but yep he was hurt.

    amazing never really thought about it.  you him 3 games and he will be your closer

  17. If Kevin Pelton had to re-re-grade the Kyrie trade now would the Mavs make it to a C-?

  18. LeepyCallywag

    I’m the only one confused by this wording? Closeout game to me implies that a team has the chance to finish off the series. But is McMahon only counting the times that Kyrie’s team had that opportunity? Like if Kyrie’s team is down 3-1, that’s still a close out game isn’t it? It would make more sense if he specified “in series where his team had the opportunity to close the series”.
