• 0:11
  Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, already, goes down, goes to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the free throw line, clearly emotional. He knows that something
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: has happened. The MAVs fans who have been through so
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: much this year, and I implore all NBA fans what
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Dallas fans are going through right now is awful, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I feel for them as another fan of the NBA.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: But for Kyrie Irving, who had been playing a ton
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of minutes as of late, who had been trying to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: carry this team in the absence of other stars to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, you feel for him and everything he's going.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely for him. Like I said, he understood what was
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: going on, but his positivity, the way he from taking
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: if you would have taken a backseat, allowing the stars
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to be stars, allowing Luca to be Luca, but still
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: being a complimentary player, and when you need me, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: can step up to now, going back bringing that old
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: thing back sure and still being a vet, still being
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a leader, trying to empower everybody, So that's why I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: feel like a lot of us. For me personally, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: hate to see that because he's put his best foot
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: forward since he stepped into Dallas, he really had good
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: things has happened for him, So you hate to see this.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I feel for him as a player because when you
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: go through something like that, there's a lot of self doubt.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I shattered my knee when I was pretty young and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: had some knee injuries into the later parts of my
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: career and getting that next step back is the hardest thing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: But I think it's also getting over the initial blow
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of not being able to play the game that you
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: love the next day and kind of, you know, not
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: being able to go to work and be on a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: team having to devote hours to rehab versus being able
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to work on your game. And Kyrie is a student
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: of the game of basketball. If you watch him play
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the game, he is one of the most skilled players
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you will ever see on the court. So he puts
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the time in and I just wish him. I just
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: wish him the best. I wish him a speedy recovery.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I hope he takes his time, but selfishly, as a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: fan of basketball, the game is going to miss him
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: because on a night in a night, on an out basis,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: he gave us a show yep and he came on
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the court and played with purpose and intention and he
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: was just fun to watch. And so I just I
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: can't wait for him to get back on the floor.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm just sending so much love to him.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Worst type of injury is a freak injury. Of course,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: he's in shape, he's playing some of the best basketball ever,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: and a freak injury like that puts him out for
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the season. A feel for Kyrie Dallas. They still had
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: a chance with the healthy him, with a healthy a
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: d Now they don't have a shot. I think the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Dallas organization need to go to Joel and b Route
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: shut ad Dowe allsou get ready for next year. You know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: every time you make moves, of course they're for the now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: but there's always a one two three year window of Okay,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: we need to win a championship, and they have no
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: shot of winning a championship without Kyrie and without a
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: healthy AD. So if I was nic on those guys,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I would just shed a d to Dolbum just you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: work them out hard in the summer and come back mixt.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Year that was in question is next year because of
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: when the days in ACL is a year.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Oh it is.
• 3:32
