Kyrie is on 1st Take right now, getting interviewed by Max and Stephen A.

He sounds hungry to show he can be a true point guard and like he wants to shut up those who say he can't or won't play defense (I.E. Max Kellerman).

Has he mentioned the reality that he lives in, or discussed things that are humanely human?

Oh yeah.  He's pretty into reality.

Kyrie really didn't say much. I don't get why he can't just come out and say, "I don't want to be in Lebron's shadow anymore. I just want to be the man on my own team."

Its on Kyrie to be fundamentally honest, or he's going to get chewed out by the media.

He'll be judged by how he plays, not how he talks, and he knows that.  Unlike Lebron, he's not a drama creator.

Kyrie sounds pretty mature in the interview but does SAS has to sound so p---ed off every interview?

Because I don't think that's what it is honestly. I think he wanted a more stable situation. He's probably tired of being at the mercy of LeBron's whims. This upcoming season is going to be a crapshow of "is LeBron gonna go to LA?" It's already started. LeBron is gonna be LeBron and feed into the drama, probably make some passive aggressive posts on Instagram and Twitter, and do the vague media double talk he usually does. Meanwhile, Dan Gilbert's doing his best Jekyll and Hyde impersonation in the background. It's gonna be a circus.

Realistically, Kyrie can't say all of this. No need to dump on LeBron and the franchise on the way out.

We should play Kyrie bingo.

Intent/Intentions
Perfecting craft
Individuals
Human
Evolve
Reality
Journey
Appreciative

It's almost like Kyrie had his agent print up flashcards with buzzwords and phrases, and since then he just practices improvising sentences with those words.

Also I just think the Celtics offense verses Lebron I mean Cavs offense will be better for him. We have much more of a free flowing offense where the Cavs offense is like my turn your turn offense but mostly Lebron's turn. Lol

With the Lebron question I thought he came across as smug.
