Kyrie Irving‘s quick recovery has vaulted the Dallas Mavericks to the top of the basketball hierarchy. Several people have shown appreciation for his efforts; Kevin Garnett is the most recent to do so. The NBA legend recently provided insight into Uncle Drew’s metamorphosis by detailing the latter’s personal development.
In his most recent episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, KG stated,
“Kyrie walks about with a Kobe [Bryant] spirit…He is calm, he is confident, he is leading, he ain’t got a bunch of extra stuff with him, he has been about basketball. I love his peace…Now, we’re seeing more of a mature Kyrie that is electrifying. He has been doing this since Ramadan… Ramadan Kyrie was a motherf***er.”
The effect Irving has had on the Mavs roster this season was summed up in his remarks. His skill and decision-making on the field undoubtedly brought to mind the incomprehensible instincts of Kobe Bryant for seasoned NBA fans. His austere demeanor has helped him to retain a more expansive viewpoint.
This season, Irving has also shown a great deal of maturity, which is a significant departure from the contentious previous few seasons for the Melbourne-born guard. Throughout the season, the franchise’s administration undoubtedly had a significant influence in this. Right now, the Mavs are seeing significant returns on their investments.
Since Ramadan, the eight-time All-Star has also advanced in his gameplay. The NBA player himself hinted that his recent ascension was greatly influenced by his ability to perform well in challenging circumstances.
