Key words “ he allows Luka to be Luka “
Wise words, Trae...
Hawks been letting Trae rock . The first two coaches got fired for trying to get him under control . Also the last time they actually made it far into the playoffs
He’s bot talking about the Hawks he talking about Murray
@@ovo-vert2933 he talkin bout neither fytb
Shit goes both ways they both let each other do their thing
When will this narrative about Kyrie being ball dominant go away
It's crazy. He's been off ball his whole career. He has good ball skills, so people get it confused.
when they start watching games and not just highlights
He's basically a KD now. Simple move to go get a bucket.
@@fateriddle14 all of Kyrie's moves feel overly complex, but maybe you're right - could be simple for him. Does a lot in little time
It’s a lazy take. He’s a 1 on 1 god & his handles are the best so ppl who don’t really watch assume he dribbling the air out of the ball. But Kai can play with any superstar & won’t step on toes
I think the biggest misconception about Kyrie is that he's super ball dominant
True
Kyrie is defo not ball dominant I’ve seen them mid game ask if they want ball they both jus want to win both don’t care about rock jus buckets.
i remember him telling JR smith to just shoot it and dont mind him
He’s as pure of a hooper as they come. He’s either been injured or competing for a title every time. He’s cold. The misconception is non basketball related
other than what trae said, the reality and facts that you can see on the floor =
1. Kyrie isnt ball dominant, he is a very great Off ball player in fact. He is also have the rare ability to catch the ball in the paint and score as a small guard. similar to lets say josh hart/gary payton II. Im not talking driving inside and finishing as a guard, but getting a pass inside the paint and finishes.
2.for how great his ahndle is, he doesnt over dribble. At all. when people say kyrie handles is his best trait, bro what about his footwork and touches? he doesnt play the "lul defender into sleep" ball. He attacks efficiently. He plays like he is a 6'6 shooting guard.
Thats cuz you watch basketball and not ESPN.
Kyrie is defo not ball dominant I’ve seen them mid game ask if they want ball they both jus want to win both don’t care about rock jus buckets
Kyrie isn't ball dominant. I think that is a big misconception. He's basically a pg/sg hybrid and can step into both at any time and be effective.
Everytime I come across a Trae Young video he's talking about Luka!
Real recognize real 🤷🏾♂️
So we just making up anything now
He respects him the most
@@Peon8how do you know he’s making that up he clearly said I
because he will join the spurs and then spurs vs Mavs rivalry rebirth again
I always find it funny when people think Kyrie is ball dominant
Yea he’s also never took that many shots which is why he’s never averaged 30 and yet people talk like he’s a ball hog who chucks up 30 shots
You don’t know basketball if you think he not ball dominant jus because you don’t see it you don’t believe it lmao but something tells me you have seen him be ball dominant jus wanna under credit him lol
yeaa he rarely takes more than 20 shots a game , only time he is ball dominant is when he’s ON fye 🔥🥵 && it makes sense to continue to let the hot hand shoot etc .. cause he’ll be on like that 40 point game and go like 14-23 & then the next night he’ll go like 7-14 or whatever letting his teammates get theirs (also give the other star *Luka* a chance to redeem himself if needed) .. it’s happened a lot throughout the course of his prime years .. he’s rarely even been in the top usage percentages for players throughout his career so idk why they always consider him ball dominant .. maybe it seems that way.. like idk just how he has the ball on a string & moves around the court bizarrely yet so quick & efficiently .. Kai is so smooth >< skillful along w/ his IQ that the moves he makes are useful .. ++ usually if he’s going like that , there’s a reason he has the ball >< it’s one of the best outcomes you would get **um well of course which makes it non toxic to the team play** ..
he’s not just some non play making shoot first role player who’s time to shine is then & now .. he’s kyrie , duh 😂😂

Talk about how you and Dejounte dont work next😂
Naw this a violation brother, Atlanta has had enough u aint gotta kick em while they’re down
@@Jack-ex1uoAtlanta doing Trae wrong. Shifting Murray to be the #1 option after Trae gave them life again.
It's the same damn problem as Booker and Beal, they are the same player. Both have similar build, both have similar shot selection, and both scores the same way. Neither of them moves off-ball to either find a lane to cut or create an opening for a catch and shoot, and both of them really can only start their offense on the perimeter.
Seriously their biggest difference is Dejounte is more active on defense and can be more aggressive when attacking the rim while Trae is a better passer and has more range as a shooter
Kyrie and Luka future hof that shi way different Dejounte like a damar derozan cant win with him in the playoffs
@@nenola504 dejounte better than Trae
one more thing - Luka be humble and shows respect and then Kyrie can respect back and give 110% back
Lukai lets go
Trae sounds like Walt jr
😂😂😂
Good point tho😂
This is wildly different than when KP got there. Kyrie and Luka worked cause Kyrie was willing to work with Luka. You cant always impose your will on something.
Thats exactly what kyrie did. Luka wants the ball in his hands, sure but when youre on the bench its kyrie time. Youre gassed in the 2nd half, lemme cook in the 2nd half. Oh yeah it also helps kyrie is so skilled and a great shooter and leader.
KP wasnt doing any of that. Add to that, that he was always injured. He was wildly inconsisten on 3. When hes in the post, he couldnt punish the mismatch. So how do you work with someone like that?
Trae doesnt deserve a lot of the hate he gets from mainly us Mavs fans. Its damn near similar to how we do Booker. And i dont know why. I get the Booker insults but Trae has always shown love to Luka. Look at a lot of the all star games. If anything we should thank him for being who is because hes the reason we have Luka in the first place. Give him a break lol
Just vocal squeaky grocery cart wheel fans... most of us, love Trae Young. He is good. He should go to the Lakers or Spurs.
The hate comes from Knicks fans for some reason, and from Hawks fans as well. Trae's cool and all tbh, Hawks as an organization is just dysfunctional.
We do disrespect one of Luka's son's to much
💯👍
"These are two very ball dominant gaurds" -- definitely not true of Kyrie. In his younger days, he put on a lot of dribbles and moves to get to the basket and he was 90% thinking "I'm definitely going to shoot this ball." However, if you've listened to how he's intentionally been evolving his game, and watched it a bit, you'd know that even when he was already considered elite / super star, he's been critiquing himself for taking way too many moves and being inefficient. And he certifiably wants to win, whatever he has to do. I didn't watch him much in Boston, but starting from the Nets, it was clear he didn't have to be the initiating point of attack and he was solid off ball while improving it.
Luka + Kyrie works because Kyrie is such a complete basketball player and has long understood, "Being a major point scorer isn't the best or only way to impact a win" and at the same time, he's not afraid of such moments. Dallas works because it's not a basketballl market where too many basketball-dumb people say dumb things about a result or what he does. That's what you'd get if you were in LA or NYC. Luka is a great teammate because, he is #1 so in theory "blame" (though this is really a media problem) goes to him for losing big games and the media + Luka relationship dynamic is entirely different than media+Kyrie when things are going tough; and it's mostly an issue with the media. Media has less of an excuse to push into irrelevant topics with Kyrie Irving in his current position. I also think the Mavericks as an organization care about Kyrie more and will appropriately handle the press doing stuff like that, whereas in Brooklyn, it seemed like Joe Tsai most certainly intentionally drove to media to do what they did.
Yeah mark cuban might be cheap and lets the wrong players walk in free agency sometimes but other than that he CARES for his players and takes care of them 100%. He lets kyrie be himself and would never let the media tear him down
kyrie's ball usage is almost half of luka especially when luka is on the court and he has shortened his time from catch and shoot by a lot which is why its working booker could make similar changes if he wants to work with durant
If I was ever going to tear up during a sporting event it would be when Luka and Kyrie were hugging at the end of a game. That shit was cool as hell and when these two are clicking nobody is safe…. The Mavs are a threat this year but Nico ain’t even done…..
I hate the media. Ky is not only one of the most talented basketball players ever but he is incredibly selfless and an amazing teammate. Dude leads by example and has taken every guard under his wing on the Dallas team. All of them speak his praises. The team would die for that man. The media just painted him in some bs light that isn’t true.
Trae need to get on the Mavs asap and run the second unit like boss.
I agree!
facts cause if Kai was the first option all the way at the point in his career , he’d be around 30+ ppg the last 2-3 season .. of course every good team needs more than 1 star but I’m just saying if he wasn’t sharing it with a ball dominant Luka who’s team he joined (sp I understand) .. he’d be a top 5 scorer , I think .. at least in the past couple years ..
I don’t think he wants to score 30 a night, even if he was the primary option. That’s why he doesn’t care playing off ball so much
and he even was top 8 scorer nearly every year
Probably the best explanation of why it's working.
I disagree kyrie isn’t ball dominant he plays off the ball and doesn’t effect his game at all
Trae getting a full beard now means I need to catch up
Trae go to spurs and show how to average 20+assist per game with wembanyama
I thought that duo wouldn't work tbh. It seemed like 2 start point guards on the same team with very different personalities and backgrounds. Glad I was wrong
Luka is like lebron to kyrie 🎯
dude said Kai is "ball dominant " wtf
I am surprised to see trae finally being humble as he acted too overconfident if not arrogant in his rookie campaign
I’m waiting for him to explain it
Join Scotty Barnes and RJ in the 6ix bro
Who is Jonathan Ham??
Yeah…drop those hints about putting players around you while you’re playing with washed centers, g leaguers, and underachieving, inconsistent high draft picks they keep hoping will improve.
TRAES BEARD??? I NEVER NOTICED HIM WITH THAT???
Please someone remind me WHEN TF Kyrie was not about basketball?!? The last 5 years:
1) His injuries prevented him from playing
2) The vaccine mafia PREVENTED him from playing
3) His personal opinions about: Jews, Flat Earth, etc SHOULD HAVE ZERO effect on his availability, but somehow NBA STILL punished him
P.S. He got smoke from media and stupid fans for all the above
P.S.2 The times the league "allowed" him to play(ON AND OFF), he brought it EVERY night!
P.S.3. He is the real 2016 FMVP and at EXACTLY the same level overall as Steph and Magic...but we got top75 Damian and Westbrook!🖕
what?
I agree with most except 2016 finals mvp and I do believe he should be top 75 but he not the same as magic and curry
Kyire isn’t ball dominant he is a great catch and shooter and a closer
Yeah. They both got an unselfish mentality, that’s what makes it work.
basically this is the same with Bron and Kyrie, just let luka do his thing for 1-3 qrt then give it to Kyrie in clutch moments
Because kyrie been around the best players in the world. When he was a rookie/2/3rd year. Like cmon. Why wouldn’t he noticed that Luka also one of those guys. & be in tune
I think we have another 3 maybe 4 seasons of a prime-like scoring kyrie (25+ ppg) .. which would make his prime oretty long & valuable .. it’s wild he’s not a ‘top 75’ all time player LOL they hate him it’s obvious but sickening .. he’s easily a top 3 overall most skilled scorer ever ..
Trae: Kai allows Luka to be Luka
Also Trae: Why can’t Murray and I do this shit?
Neither are as great as kai and luka
Never saw kyrie as a ball dominant playe
Kyrie is a legend I don't care what people say the guy is amazing.
I swear him and bron would of won multiple chips if ky had this maturity back then
Another Lebron jack strap sniffer lol 😂
You think if the Atlanta Hawks could find a time machine they would've kept Luka Doncic instead trading him to Dallas Mavericks on Draft night in 2018 for Trae Young?
Got it, Kyrie is the perfect "Robin" who can be "NightWing" at times dropping 40
He's been Robin pretty much his whole career. And when he has to be the primary playmaker his game suffers.
Remember his time with the Celtics?
@@wtrmrkphyou mean when he lead the celtics to back to back top 4 seeds?
Nah kyrie is batman Luka is just superman
Batman and Superman that's it!
@@JoshuaLaGuardia-uw6jkpeople just forget that part, they act like he can’t lead a team to the playoffs as the best player when he quite literally did that.
If steph is the pg king den kyrie is da people's champ! Same analogy 4 kobe n A.I. or jayz n jada. Sum will hav all da accolades n othas will hav a certain swag or IT factor!
Cuz Kyrie can play off ball
Special Child
I get what Trey’s saying, but it’s like every other word is “Luka” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
unfortunately.........they will be in trouble when facing Nuggets later....simply because Dallas is way down there when comes to Rebounds. Nuggets players are big and tall and can shoot too....
not way down there anymore after the trades. It'll honestly come down to If luka has the stepback going, if the role players can punish closeouts and how they abuse the non joker mins. Because while Luka, Kyrie, Joker, Murray and mpj are on the floor its gonna be a war
When tf Trae get a beard????
Kyrie is not a superstar and I’d argue he never was. He has always been an elite scorer but not a player you could build a 3bn franchise around. He’s finally understanding his role as a very close second player on the team like he was with LeBron. I hope he wins some more rings for his own legacy
Come to Dallas Trae, you know all the comparisons would end if you just came to Dallas. If you can’t beat’em, join’em
Give me KAI in 4 against any team! Period
Trae Young looking like he took a shower. Do ya thang, Trae. Ninja usually look like Pau Gasol in double overtime.
Trae not sure about them leggings bruh damn
Mark Cuban if you watching this post get the big man form Purdue
Send him to a large one for 2 years Hakeem the dream two summers and you got a winner
Luka isn't a real ball hog bruh. He switches up all the time based on what the defense gives him. If people actually watched Mavs games they would understand exactly what I'm talking about.
exactly, he's just the one initiating the plays and running the offense. An actually ball hog would not be looking to pass, and would jack up shots all night no matter what
Why trae young dejounte murray don't work
Dejaunte is an inconsistent scorer and Trae is bad at defense but it’s mostly because dejaunte doesn’t score consistently well and also Trae is very inefficient most times even when he scores a lot
Bruh got a beard transplant
Getting stats but loosing: LeBron "what can i do, i have x and y and z"; Luka: "i let my teammates down, i need to be better". Just saying. LeBron is just lucky his body is so other worldly that he could get 4 chips. If he had a MJ or Kobe mentality he would've won probably 6-10 chips by now instead of 4
I mean I mean I mean
Maybe you and Dejounte should take some notes instead of being stat padding ball hogs
why does a 6 year player does hasnt done shit have a platform to talk about other players lmao
Trae sound like my 5 year old
Lol brooo
Kai is misunderstood, rather mischaracterized, within the media and casual fans.
when u think abt it luka is what lebron was for kyrie. just not athletic
Kyrie is not ball dominant
lol it doesn’t work
How bout you stop talking about Luka and work on your game and get better so you can be in the playoffs Trae young 💯
Well the interviewer did ask him a question so he's staying on point and giving his opinion...see that's how it works in interpersonal communication. If you are asked a question, you answer the question.
@@aarons2148 yeah I know I was just saying
@@BAMAMADEMG exactly my point....
Clippers in 6. They don’t need kawhi then got 2 without him.
clips win if mavs dont make adjustments. Mavs in 6
You were saying g?
hahahaha
Mavs got this series. Westbrick and Harden have choked their entire playoff careers
?
He allows luka to be luka? Luka is him 😤. Luka got all bragging rights luka destroy kyrie harden and durant when they were in Brooklyn
Dude when multiple superstar caliber players get on one team there has to be sacrifices. All he's saying is Kyrie isn't trying to take over and force Luka to change his way of playing. Everybody thought Kyrie being ball-dominant would interfere with Luka's game.
Doncic is a constant cry baby. I won't watch a Dallas game.
😂😂😂 clown, you are surely a KD fan
No one cares 😂
Wow, tell your friends this, they dont even care lmao
🤓☝️
We can tell you don’t watch Mavs games lil bro you didn’t have to tell us.
Trae snow bunny young has bias toward Luka. We all understand why
How come Trae has a podcast, bruh is stutering every 3 words.
Facts……terrible listen 😂
Kyrie is not ball dominant
