    I don't know if I'd say he could be the best player on the team.  Durant is his teammate and he's literally the best player in the world, so Kyrie will always be at best the second fiddle.  I would say he is a distant third to James Harden also, but this year with the rule changes Harden has been ineffective driving in the paint and has basically been forced to dish or shoot 3 pointers.  Kyrie coming back will hopefully help that a bit.  Durant had 39 points on 15-24 shooting...  Pretty crazy.  They also scored 35 points in the 4th quarter to come from behind.  A nice victory to welcome Kyrie back.
    I didn't expect that from a debut but what I didn't expect more is the way he talk now in the interview (good) and how he managed to avoid having any locker room issue. He is pretty welcomed by his team mates and also had fun watching him or just being with him on the sidelines. He should keep up this new Kyrie Irving and throw the old one.

    Warriors on the other side defeated badly by the Mavericks even without the Unicorn to help them out. Luka Doncic didn't fail to initiate the joy in American Airlines Center because after the game was the retirement of Dirk Nowitzki's #41 jersey. That was an emotional moment.
