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.
