Kyrie Irving patiently waited on the court to comfort every Mavs teammate after NBA Finals loss
On Monday, Kyrie Irving did not win an NBA championship with the Dallas Mavericks. Still, he didn’t let the realization of that moment stop him from remembering what was important: his teammates.
With Boston Celtics-colored confetti falling around him, Kyrie Irving could have jetted off to the visitors’ locker room, and no one would have blamed him. Instead, after paying his respects to the Celtics, he waited for every Mavs player to leave the court.
In a new video from Monday night’s festivities, Kyrie daps up a few people before patiently waiting for his teammates and several Mavs staff members to walk toward him so he could encourage and comfort them.
