Kyrie Irving defends himself while ripping fans, media in livestream rant

Kyrie Irving wants NBA fans to know that the narrative of him being a locker room cancer is untrue, and the storyline is being spread by “old bitter gentlemen and women” in the media.

Irving is one of the best players the NBA has seen over the last decade. There is no denying his unparalleled talent as a scorer and his uncanny gifts as a basketball player. However, his unusual outlook on the sport and how he prefers to be coached has led to a narrative that he can be a problematic player on his teams.

In February, the 30-year-old became unhappy with negotiations for a long-term extension with the Nets and requested to be traded. When the organization shipped him off to Dallas, it brought to an end a tumultuous three-and-a-half years in New York that included missing games due to his stance on COVID vaccinations and reportedly being the cause of James Harden wanting off the team in less than a year.

Well, Irving is tired of the narrative that has dogged his career in the NBA and took to his Twitch account on Wednesday to air his grievances. In the video rant, via New York Basketball, he complained about the perception that people have about him from a limited amount of time seeing and knowing him.
