The career of Kyrie Irving has been incredible. In order to secure his championship in Cleveland, he made one of the most crucial shots in history.
Kyrie and the league’s most illustrious team never clicked for a number of reasons. After he left in free agency, Celtics supporters are still upset with him today. His public declaration that he intended to re-sign with the organization before leaving worsened the situation.
During his 24-hour livestream, Kyrie included former Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown. The two shared some personal details about their two years together in addition to having some fun playing NBA2K.
Brown disclosed: “What’s crazy is we almost fought one time,” . “I remember like it was yesterday. I come to practice, and I don’t even know what’s going on. We haven’t heard from Kyrie, I hadn’t heard his voice in two weeks.”
Kyrie interrupted: “I definitely used to get silent, bro. I didn’t know how to express myself,”
Brown went on: “I don’t know what was going on, but you decided you needed to have a hard time with everybody,” “So you confronted me. I remember we were standing under the basket, and then you came up to me and was like, ‘I know who you are.’ So I’m like, ‘That’s great, ’cause I know who I am too.’ You’re like, ‘No you don’t.’”
Brown now chuckled about the odd encounter, but Kyrie clarified it by stating that he was dealing with some challenging personal issues.
“It was almost an overflow of emotion that I was dealing with, bro. I told you, I lost my grandfather that year, I was supposed to sign back for five years, I announced it, and then my grandfather passed a week later.”
“After I left the team and went to his funeral, bro I didn’t even take any time off to grieve. Like no time off, I just went straight into the game, so being around y’all didn’t feel like I was having fun. It wasn’t y’all fault, it was me.”
