Kyrie Irving Quotations

I want to be on the cover of 'GQ.' That's a personal goal.

All I do is sit at home and watch Netflix.

I'm not really a big X's and O's guy, but if you want to go there, I'm more of a space-the-floor type of coach: Five out, zero in, and that's the way we play basketball, screen and roll here and there, pocket passes everywhere; it's what it's about.

Going in, you want to play a perfect season and play throughout the whole entire season, but injuries are a part of basketball.

When I'm playing the 1-guard, I'm kind of seeing everything that's going on. When I play the 2, I have a more broader understanding of what's going on and where the screens are being set in order for not only myself to get open, but for my teammates.

Everybody in the NBA is good. And then you have the really good ones and the great ones.

I love the gym; I love basketball. I'm really passionate about it.

I'm going to give input when I need to. When it needs to be said.

One game I'm always on is 'NBA Jam.' And 'Bejeweled,' games like that, and 'Temple Run.'

I can't even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father's Day means so much to me. I'm so close to him. He's my big brother, but also my father.

I've worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I'm already prepared for the game. So when I'm listening to music pregame, it's really just about personal enjoyment.

I'm probably one of the most competitive people ever.

My eventual goal is to win a championship. And before I retire, I just want to win a championship. That's it.

One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.

I do feel like a Clevelander. Every time, when people ask me, I automatically say, 'My home is Cleveland.'

I don't leave home without my Skullcandy Crushers. I don't leave home without my Bible, without my phone, and without my computer.

'Grease' is an awesome movie. I wish they'd make a new one, more for our time. The graphics are terrible when you look back on it.

When you're playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it's like a video game. There's so much talent on the floor at once.

Draft day is a hectic day, especially for draftees and, more or less, for management.

Even during my injury, I had fun because I got to be a regular college kid.

Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.

I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.

I went to my agent and told them, 'I want to be on another Disney show.'

When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.

Directors tell me what to do, and I kind of just put my own twist to it, just to get inside my personality that everybody doesn't really get to see - my off-the-court interests and the way I act. It's just me.

I've been musically inclined since I picked up an instrument in the fourth grade. I just really appreciate music. I love to listen to it; I love to sing. I wouldn't consider myself, like, a natural singer. I just developed it over time, honestly, just listening. I'm a great listener to music.

I felt like we would have definitely won an NBA championship if everyone was healthy.

I haven't been a leader -- not at all.

I'm in Cleveland. I enjoy myself. I enjoy going out and competing at highest level for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Growing up, I was a typical high school kid when YouTube first came out, and I was just watching a whole lot of videos of guys in the league I'm playing with now, guys that aren't in the league, and guys that came before me, just watching the moves that they do, and going out in my backyard and trying them. I did it almost every single day. And I didn't do any crazy dribbling drills or any two-ball dribbling drills. I'm really not good at two-ball dribbling. Nah, never did that. I just went out and tried the moves that I saw.

No alaram clock needed. My passion wakes me up.. !

Basketball isn't a game; It's an art form. You master the fundamentals so you can forget 'em, so you can improvise and just concentrate on what really matters: getting buckets.
