      idk i actually liked the interview Cuban did on Pat Bev's pod, was a fun listen. Did he have to call out Kyrie like that, probably not but i dont really disagree with anything he said other than comparing him to pat bev which was dumb lol.

      I am curious. Would the Mavs retire Kylie Irvingā€™s number if he manages to gets 2-3 more all-NBA, is an all-star 5 more times with the Mavs and he helps them win 2 championships

      I watched all 82 games and never saw any selfishness on the court really, but what I do think Cuban is talking about is contract negotiations behind the scenes. Recently a trusted radio source said it was C. Woods who refused A two-year 34 million dollar deal, betting on a bigger deal offer at the end of the season by other teams

      I think by betting on himself, Christian Wood pissed off a lot of Dallas front office and coaches, thus all the negative leaks about his character, which nobody saw on the court. It's a Cutthroat league if you're not one of the top 20 players. I still think he'll end up on a contender and can be like a Bobby Portis type Sixth Man

      I also think the selfishness comment was about the players who all wanted to start and may have been focal about it. Tim Hardaway, Christian woman and JaVale McGee are all gone now and that's what they had in common. I personally think it's a good problem to have guys are confident in themselves and are starting material.

      I think it's a failure of leadership and Jason Kidd to turn that into a problem when it's not a problem. It might be a lot of pressure on the H C, but it's good pressure not bad. Just another of many cases where Jason Kidd deflect responsibility on two players or front office

      Is Mark Cuban trying to mess up the team chemistry. How many times heā€™s gonna say Kyrie knows itā€™s Luka team.šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø

      Nope. Kyrie needs to hear it straight from the boss. Kyrie needs to man up and own up to his new multi-million salary. Unfortunately, this whiny and diva attitude of American players has slowly been infecting international players as well; case in point Embiid and Giannis making statements this offseason. Hopefully, Luka bucks the trend or at least does so not this early in his 20's.

    16. Cranicus on

      Hilarious how when Mark Cuban is asked to explain his thoughts on the situation, half the comments are talking about him being condescending. Honestly Marks IQ is way too high for the average YouTuber

    17. Vlogs on

      Dunno….if Cuban's repeated re-iterating that "it's Luka's team"…is dumb and reflects his insecurity to the double notion that Kyrie will hog the limelight or Luka needs that public assurance from Mark even though it's a public fact that it's Luka's team!
      Cuban public statements just stirr the soup in the pot a little harder that may cause a spill that is unnecessary!

      This is Kyrie!!! Guys….
      An NBA Champion of a team he helped win a Championship against a 73 win team being down 1-3!!!
      Even if he doesn't make the Hall of Fame…(which I doubt!) He is still a great & legendary player! A player who has one of the best handles! Are you kidding me!
      I feel his on court theatrics far outweigh his off court issues! The guy is just misunderstood! He just needs somebody who celebrates him! The guy is a celebrity! He needs to be celebrated to keep this relationship strong!

    20. chemane melton on

      I think the selfishly topic (Playing their roles) was about Wood wanting success and that's not what makes a championship team tick not the actual players being selfish but the truth is players going against the plan of the teams regiment
