Even though he’s been a part of the Dallas Mavericks for almost two years, Kyrie Irving still can’t seem to shake his background.
The Mavericks have gone through a lot of transformations in the previous two years. Irving, though, has been a trademark of the club with his stellar play.
Irving has had a unique offseason as he recovers from a ruptured ACL and hopes to return for next season.
Irving has been streaming more frequently this summer, which is one of his interests.
Although Irving’s streams cover a wide range of subjects, he has never shied away from discussing his career.
He will soon set the record straight regarding remarks made by an ex-teammate. Using a tweet that included a tape from the Mind the Game podcast with LeBron James and Steve Nash, Irving said on Wednesday that he would be responding live on stream.
During his time in Brooklyn, where he played with Irving and was coached by Nash, Kevin Durant discussed his difficulties in the footage.
In the clip, Durant repeatedly talked about all of the extra stuff going on around him and Nash, who he says were on the same page. Of course, Irving can easily be lumped into the distractions, from his refusal to get vaccinated to getting suspended for sharing an antisemitic post, Irving’s Brooklyn stint was far from ideal.
Still, when the duo was on the floor together, they formed one of the best pairings in the NBA.
While the team was seen as a title contender, the Nets were unable to get everything to work out in their favor.
As both parties have gone their separate ways, Irving and Durant will now be leading a couple of the West’s top teams next season.
If Irving’s response on stream has any spice to it, there could even be some added juice to next season’s Mavericks-Rockets matchups.
