Irving: Varejao’s Toughness is Contageous

Found January 26, 2012 on Waiting For Next Year:
PLAYERS: Anderson Varejao,  Kyrie Irving
TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers,  New York Knicks

Picimg_cavalers_vs_lakers_52b1
[Anderson Varejao] brings a toughness here and it’s contagious. It was contagious throughout the entire game, even through our bench. The bench is just as important as the starters, so it feels good to win. [...] I wasn’t really focused on my offense. I just wanted to help out my teammates. I only attempted six shots tonight and I have no problem doing that. I get my teammates involved and that’s the most important thing. Hopefully, we can have more games like this and whether I score the ball or not, I’m still happy. - Cavaliers rookie point guard Kyrie Irving, who shot 1-of-7 in the Cavaliers’ recent win over the New York Knicks, on his teammate Anderson Varjeao. Varejao pulled down 16 rebounds in the win, including a season-high eight offensive boards. [Related: Video: Kyrie Irving Stars in New ESPN NBA/RV Commercial]

[Kyrie Irving] is a nice, young player. I obviously didn’t get to see a lot of him in college, but he’s a nice, young player. He’s shooting the ball really well; in our first game [against the Cavs], we went under his screens and he made us pay by hitting a few threes. He’ll turn the ball over, but point guards – young or veterans – all turn the...

MIAMI Dont call Kyrie Irving another LeBron James just because hes also a No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. But if you want to call him another Chris Paul, that might be OK.
