Kyrie Irving had a lot to say at his Mavericks introductory press conference.
. Because the Mavericks had three straight road games, Monday night was his debut in Dallas.
"'Look forward to the team that we're developing and just take a chance. Take it one day at a time, there's no rush here. We're not putting too much pressure on you. There's no pressure on the team so to say. When we come in every day, we just want you guys to be consistent,'" he shared of the advice he was given. "So that was music to my ears.
"Oh man, I would love to be well-liked by everybody. Oh man, how the world would be so perfect for me," Irving said with a sigh and a laugh."That's just not it. That's just not it for I don't think anyone in this room. I think we have family members that we don't necessarily get along with all the time, friends that we don't necessarily talk to every day. But the genuine love that you have in your heart is the only thing that you can really control.
"When you're playing along somebody that has the consistency to score the ball, play make and really challenge the defense to make adjustments like Luka does, then we obviously are a force together to be reckoned with," he said."Whether we're being in pick-and-roll, or whether we're making plays for one another off each other, so I think that's the exciting future that I see alongside him.
"I would love to just have the respect of you guys and everybody the rest of the season of just continuously asking me that because it just puts unwarranted distractions on us and our team," he said."I've dealt with it before and it's very emotionally draining to ask questions like, 'What's the long term? What's the long term? What is it?'"
