00:00Kyrie Irving wanting to play for Australia in the next Olympics. It's true
00:06Kyrie, you've teased about playing for Australia in the past. Are you gonna finally pull the trigger and maybe represent Australia at the next Olympics?
00:13Man, we're in the process of that right now
00:15I'm just trying to figure out what's gonna be the best route for me to be eligible
00:19You know, there's a lot of paperwork in between that
00:22You know, obviously USA still has a decision to make team USA still has a decision to make but for me
00:27I'm just trying to do what's best for me. And honestly if I can be an Aussie at one point in my career
00:31I play for the Australian team. That would be great, man
00:35Yeah, I just can't figure this dude out. Honestly, like well, I mean what is happening here?
00:40Like so he's gonna go play for Australia in Los Angeles in the Olympics
00:44Well, because I think he's still upset that they didn't
00:48Bring him last year in Paris. I think he was upset about that. I think he felt he was
00:54Worthy of being on that team that went to Paris. So I think there's some bad feelings there
01:00He kind of left the door open. You heard him say we'll see what the United States wants to do now. Remember that's still
01:06three years from now that they're gonna play that Olympics and I
01:10Is his game still gonna be where it is now three years from now?
01:15Maybe maybe not but I think he wants to play in that Olympics in LA
01:20And if the United States ain't gonna have him on the team, he's gonna go play for somebody and I gonna be Australia
01:26Yeah, you're right. Like let's face facts. He's gonna be old in three years. So go ahead and play for Australia and lose. I
01:34Just I I find it hard to believe that go play with a man's and lose in the Olympics. It'll be fun to watch
01:41He'll be 35
01:423 he's 32 now, so he'll be 35
01:45For that Olympics actually, he'll be 36 because he's turning 33 in next month in March
01:49So he'll be 36 at the 28 Olympics in LA. I still think he's a great player
01:55I told you yesterday he'd win a one-on-one in the NBA
01:57I think he's the best one-on-one player in the league. No one can guard him. But I mean three years when you're 36
02:05You know name how many guys at 36
02:08Are still the best player?
02:11You know at their position in the league they're not they just aren't that's thought that's the whole deal there's one LeBron James
02:19Right, and don't tell me listen Michael Jordan was not the same player when he came back after baseball. I don't care what anybody says
02:26That's just all there is to it. He had like 140 point night with the Wizards. That was it. What did he do?
02:32So yeah, both Durant Durant and Curry were on the team this past summer and they were both
02:4135 36 years old on the Paris team
02:44So they you know, that's three old guy old guys quote-unquote in LeBron Curry and Durant that they just that
02:51Well one's the best shooter in the world and the other one is seven foot tall and there isn't a guy on earth that can block
02:57his shot
03:05They've had 36 year olds on the team just this last year they did have it
