Mark Cuban on Kyrie Irving: He's an interesting guy that's just misunderstood

Mark Cuban: It’s interesting because when I would watch Kyrie before he came to the Mavs, I didn’t pay enough attention to his relationship with other players. And then when he came to us after the trade, it was inevitable – after every game, there were multiple players walking up and hugging him. Not just giving him, you know, high fives, but like a real, honest to goodness I Like You hug. And when you talk to players around them, they would say the same thing. -via Twitter @SiriusXMNBA / July 11, 2023
