Mark Cuban Spoils Kyrie Irving and Leaves a Warning for Klay Thompson: "He Has a Lot to Prove"

Mark Cuban was the latest guest on 'Club Shay Shay', a well-known podcast in the United States hosted by NFL legend Shannon Sharpe. The owner of the Dallas Mavericks discussed the upcoming NBA season, Klay Thompson's signing, and the personality of Kyrie Irving.

Cuban made headlines during his conversation with Sharpe. He praised Klay joining the Mavs but issued a warning and aimed to dispel the notion that Irving is a bad person.

Cuban's Statements on Klay Thompson

"I think Klay was ready for a change, you know, for all the pain he endured last year, especially the way it ended, so the timing was right. Congratulations to Klay for being willing to make the change, and kudos to Nico (Harrison), Jason Kidd, and Kyrie Irving for making it happen."

"Number two, if things don't go as you want, then yes, the door is open, but it takes someone special, someone with self-confidence, someone ambitious, and someone who really has something to prove, and Klay has a lot to prove, which is great because those are the types you want on your team, as they will work harder than ever to show people are wrong."

Cuban's Statements on Kyrie Irving

"When you talk to the players, they adore him. No one who has stepped on the court has said a bad word about Kyrie. For me, that was all we needed to know, and then from there, you wonder what went wrong in Boston, what went wrong in Brooklyn. A lot of that is maturity, but they were also circumstances. How many times is COVID going to hit and cause those circumstances?"

"Ky is the guy sitting there talking about world peace. Why aren't we solving this? How do we end hunger? He has a heart of gold. He has a huge heart, and he wants to help people."

"He told me, 'Mark, I just want to be myself, lead my way, and be creative,' and he found a great deal, and he's been making it work. If you notice the deals he's signed since he arrived with us, there haven't been any issues."
