Nico Harrison Compares Kyrie Irving to Kobe Bryant: "He will come back stronger"

Nico Harrison has showered praise on a Kyrie Irving who yesterday suffered a knee injury and will be out for several months. He will miss the rest of the season and, theoretically, would return once the next season commences if he remains with the Dallas Mavericks.

Listening to what the GM has said about him after his injury, likening him to Kobe Bryant, it would seem like they are going to renew him for 7 seasons. The truth is that the player has a player option worth 44 million that we imagine he will pick up if the Mavs do not renew him. It is too soon to know, so here is the nice message from the man who kicked out Luka Doncic:

There are no words to describe who Kyrie Irving is for this team or what he means to us as an organization.

Kyrie is the heart and soul of this team, and he has embraced the city of Dallas as his home and our fans as an extension of his own family. I have been fortunate to witness his journey, his ongoing evolution and growth over the years, and I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to see him approach basketball with the same energy and fierce passion for the game that he had when he was a young man on the brink of his career. His work ethic and absolute dedication to his craft are reminiscent of the greats. I know it, I have lived it, and I see in him the same fierceness and passion that I saw in Kobe.

All my thoughts and those of our staff are with Kyrie and his family, and we are confident that he will return from this stronger than ever, as he has always done.
