Kyrie instantly wanted this play reviewed for a flagrant on Jalen Williams. The refs are indeed reviewing it. pic.x.com/AaZ5hhiDDu – 10:59 PM

Odell Bunton Jr. just did a superlative job of singing in praise of MLK’s memory. He was wearing a Kyrie Irving jersey and my sources tell me Irving gave him props and a hug after his sound check pregame. The man can sing. – 9:56 PM

More on this storyline
You know they talk about pure hoopers and skill. If you had to draft a starting five, with guys like Jamal and yourself, who would you pick? Pure hoopers—how many players? Five hoopers, is that what you’re saying? KEVIN DURANT: I’m going to leave out a lot of dudes, but if I had to pick five off the top—because you’re just putting me on the spot like that—I’mma go: Kyrie Irving at the one. It’s a debate between Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan at the two. I know you’re from Chicago, so you might hear this and get confused, but purely skill-wise—Kobe. Yeah, Kobe. He’s got that three-ball, he can handle, he’s got the wiggle, and he can do all the technical stuff MJ can do. So, it’s a toss-up, but I’mma go with Kobe at the two. Alright, for the three, I’mma go Melo—no, actually, I’mma go T-Mac. Yeah, T-Mac at my three. T-Mac at the three, for sure. I’ll have to play the four since it’s my team. And at the five, I’mma go KG. I think KG is underrated, man. Too underrated. He’s just so underrated. -via YouTube / January 16, 2025
Clutch Points: “I love Kobe [Bryant], God rest his soul, but he’s not top-3 [all-time] in most people’s eyes. I don’t even understand how this is even an argument with him & LeBron [James]. I would rank Kevin Durant above Kobe.” —Chandler Parsons (via @RunItBackFDTV) -via Twitter / January 14, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Stephen Curry passed Allen Iverson in points (No. 28 now) and Kobe Bryant in assists last night (No. 35). Also: Mike Conley is Top 30 all-time in assists after moving ahead of Reggie Theus and John Lucas. -via Bluesky / January 14, 2025
Kyrie Irving, returning after a one-game absence due to a back sprain, delivered a strong performance with 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists. The tension on the court was palpable, with exchanges of words adding fuel to what Irving believes is a budding rivalry. “It’s personal, It’s the start of a healthy rivalry… They’re good, man. They were number one in the Western Conference last year. They deserved to make it to the second round and match up against us, we just got the best of them in that series,” Irving noted. -via BasketNews / January 18, 2025
Mike Curtis: Jason Kidd says Kyrie Irving (back) is available for tonight’s game against the #Thunder. -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / January 17, 2025
Eddie Sefko: Latest injury report still has Luka Doncic and Dereck Lively II out, with Kyrie Irving questionable for OKC tonight. Thunder will be without centers Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Chet Holmgren, who has been out since Game No. 10 with a hip injury. -via Twitter @ESefko / January 17, 2025
