Kyrie Irving has finally spoken.
It wasn’t about anything that went on this summer with the Nets and everything going on with them, but he did talk about things that happened the last few years.
That includes his time with Lebron James in Cleveland. While speaking on their time together, Kyrie admits to doing some quirky things on and off the court but says he has dealt with saying.
“I have been through a lot more than I could probably speak here on in five minutes or 10 minutes,” said the star player. He continued, “I don’t use it as baggage that I like to carry around with me. My history is my history. I’ve done some quirky s**t in public and some quirky s**t behind the scenes, and I’ve dealt with the vilification of that.”
He might take some criticism for saying this, but it does show growth, and what more could you ask for?
Kyrie says it has been difficult playing in LeBron’s and KD’s shadow at times.
We are finally getting to hear from the Nets’ Kyrie Irving.
He’s had a very interesting offseason where it was announced that he wanted out of Brooklyn and didn’t want to opt into his contract for next season, which he ultimately did. It was then reported that he wanted to stay with the Nets the whole time.
The NBA All-Star hasn’t spoken on the matter at all, though, so we don’t know what he was thinking or if he wanted out of Brooklyn or not.
But now, he will be talking, and who knows what we’ll get. It’ll be on Uninterrupted’s The Shop. In a preview for the newest episode featuring him and Idris Elba, Kyrie talks about playing in Lebron James and Kevin Durant’s shadow, saying:
Playing with ‘Bron and playing with KD, within our culture they are true icons, but I had to fill in those shoes that were very uncomfortable for me,” Irving said.
