Mark Cuban on Kyrie Irving: ‘He has a heart of gold and just wants to help people’

Mark Cuban: “Before I did the work, I thought Kyrie was a team killer. I was like, ‘He’s not going to fit in anywhere.’ I never talked to people about him. There was no point. But when the opportunity to trade for him came up, we did the work. Nico Harrison knew him, Jason Kidd knew him, and I started talking to people who had played with him. And everybody loved him. Nobody had a bad word to say about Kyrie who had ever stepped on the court with him. That told me what I needed to know. He’s misunderstood. He has a heart of gold and just wants to help people. That’s who he is. Look at his social media — it’s all about his tribe and the people around him. Once I saw that, it was easy to make the decision to trade for him.”
