After the game, Kyrie addressed the importance of his home debut to the media, saying quote: 'Tonight, my presence out there was just bigger than the basketball game. I was just representing a lot of individuals that are out there in a similar situation as me. And now that I can play, I think we should be opened up for everybody... The point of this season for me was never to just take a stand. It was really to make sure that I'm standing on what I believe in...' Shannon Sharpe react to Kyrie's postgame comments.
