NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND


February 14, 2014


Kyrie Irving


NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

Q.  First start as a NBA All‑Star.  What's that mean to you?
KYRIE IRVING:  It's great.  It's truly a blessing.  See all these all stars walking around, guys that are here every year.  It's awesome.
But I'm just happy to be a part of this prestigious environment.

Q.  First pick by the Cavaliers, did you impress yourself that you had to be picked first?
KYRIE IRVING:  There was some goals that I set, but mainly it just came from the amount of hard work I had and trusting my teammates and being in an environment where I can grow.  That's what's been most the most important thing for me.

Q.  Any particular player you would like to play this year?
KYRIE IRVING:  Everybody.  Everybody.  These guys are at the top of their game, the elite, and to be called one of those this year is a great honor.

Q.  Is it different this year?  Different this time?
KYRIE IRVING:  Yeah, it is.  It is.  For me and my family, coming down here third year, to be named a starter, it's truly a blessing.  It's awesome to be here.

Q.  In terms of bringing the (indiscernible), is that part of the goal?
KYRIE IRVING:  Absolutely.  Absolutely.  Sunday is the time to put on a show, things you wouldn't do during a normal game, which is, I don't know, anything that I don't do during the game, which I won't try, but it's a free environment.
To be part of these guys‑‑ I mean, you just look around.  You got Joe Johnson over there, LeBron, all those guys.  I mean, it's just awesome.
