NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving was not spared criticism during the league’s off-season; Brooklyn Nets point guard has played in less than half as many games as possible for the franchise
Kyrie Irvingstar of NBA, was the subject of controversial statements by Stephen A. Smith, a commentator for ESPN North America. the owner of Brooklyn Nets has his future speculated by the media and, NBA: future of the Lakers with Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook is defined despite having accepted his option of player, the shirt 11 could still leave the franchise next season.
“I feel like, in short, Kyrie ruined this team. I say that because if he had shown up for training and been a more constant presence, everyone would still be happy in Brooklyn.”Smith pointed out. “Kevin [Durant] I would still be interested in going there, of course. And this team could have competed for the title as Kyrie is an incredible talent. But in the end, he preferred to ruin everything.”.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
The commentator added: “Kyrie showed up late to practice, left whenever he wanted, and eventually even intended to conduct solo work with the cast. The New York press saw this and, as a result, everyone in the organization came under fire for allowing this behavior. This guy just turned doing his job into a big drama.”
Irving arrived at nets with the promise of making a great duo alongside Kevin Durant and, later, a trio with James Harden. However, among controversies about vaccination against Covid-19 and other issues, the 30-year-old athlete did not play half of the matches he could for the team (he was on the court 103 times out of 226 opportunities).
“This franchise has been subject to the will of its two stars, but most of all, Kevin has been subject to Kyrie. So he feels comfortable demanding a new maximum contract after playing just 29 games. And now this man is saying that he wants to play in Los Angeles. He also says that he wants to wear the uniform he Kobe Bryant dressed”Smith pointed out.
