With the Lebron question I thought he came across as smug.
Is he your least favorite celtic of last 5 years right now?
Once the games start, I'll be rooting for him. I disagree with his priorities, and I disagree with the trade, but he's an undeniable offensive talent.
But since you asked, no, Fab Melo is probably my least favorite Celtic of the last five seasons. Sean Williams just missed the cut.
What are Kyrie's priorities that you disagree with?
His brand over winning.
Himself over team.
In this interview I'm not getting that. He said he wants to play point,Lebron controlled the ball and yes I know Irving had it more, but he was being put into ISO situations because he's the best at getting his shot. But he said he wouldn't have to be in an ISO system, and he can get Hayward and Horford the ball and space.
There is nothing wrong with giving yourself the best opportunity to be the best you can be. He was almost traded for PG13 which means Lebron thinks he's better, and he can't play the way he wants to with Lebron. And if the King leaves, the team is still in cap hell with Love and Thompson. So Improving will be out unless they can make a trade, and who knows. He could see the writing on the wall, either he's going to get traded and have no say, or he's stuck in Cleveland with a meh team if Lebron leaves.
So him leaving for Boston, in an open court system gives him the best situation to get better and become the best player he can.
And yeah he sounded a bit smug, but look at Jordan,Bird,Kobe and their interviews. Especially pre-PC, Bird sound like an @$# half the time. Not saying Kyrie is in the same class as those guys, but he's dang good, and with that comes a bit of attitude. I mean IT oozed it, but that who he was and it was usually great.
