kyrie is the sasuke of nba
I still have nightmares about that shot as a GS diehard. I love hearing Shump's perspective of this. I respect tf outta kyrie for saying I want the ball in the fourth in that game, and I actually just got a lot more respect (even though tbh it is one of the biggest shots in history, thats just the way it rolls sometimes) for the play than i already had. They were looking for the matchup, and they got it and won.
