Isn’t it funny how a boy will forget how in a heartbeat from whence he’s come. Kyrie Irving is literally out here butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talking crazy, AGAIN. Ole boy issued a statement on Friday instead of meeting with the media like every other player and coach has done to start training camp.
Here’s what the done said in case you missed it.
“Instead of speaking to the media today, I am issuing this statement to ensure that my message is properly conveyed,” the statement said, in part. “I am committed to show up to work every day, ready to have fun, compete, perform, and win championships alongside my teammates and colleagues in the Nets organization.
“… My goal this season is to let my work on and off the court speak for itself. Life hit differently this year and it requires us, it requires me, to move differently. So, this is the beginning of that change.”
I guess this is part of him blaming the media for checking the foolishness that continues to fall out of his mouth when he does meet with reporters.
Remember when he went at LeBron when he was a guest on “The Etc with Kevin Durant Podcast” during the NBA Finals? He was talking like he’s completely forgotten that he was on the Cavs for three years without LeBron.
Ole boy said that this upcoming season with Durant will be the first time in his career that he’ll feel like there’s someone else on his team who could make the final shot besides him. Yes he literally used his own mouth to say that!
When he was asked who’s taking the final shot with 10 seconds left in a one-point game, he or KD? He said this, “Depends on who’s hot. I don’t see it as anything other than that. One-three pick and roll, or it’s an iso for either one of us or it’s something great for our team.”
By that time he was on a roll so he just floored it. At that point he took all of his clothes off and jumped in head first saying, “One thing I’ve always been comfortable with is I felt like I was the best option on every team I’ve played for down the stretch. This is the first time in my career where I can look down and be like, ‘That motherf*cker can make that shot too.”
Of course he tried to back track like he wasn’t taking a shot at LeBron by denying that he was dissing him.
So now he’s issuing statements so people don’t take his words out of context right? God forbid people take what he says and connect the dots. LeBron finally comes out and says that those comments actually hurt because he had Kyrie’s best interest at heart.
While on Richard Jefferson’s podcast LeBron had this to say, “Once I got the whole transcript, I was like, ‘damn. I wasn’t like, ‘oh you tripping, I’ve been hitting game-winning shots my whole life.’ I was not like that. I was like, ‘damn.’ Because I played with Kyrie for three seasons, and the whole time I was [in Cleveland], I only wanted to see him be the MVP of our league. I only cared about his success, and it just didn’t align.
And we was able to win a championship, that’s the craziest thing,” James continued. “We were still able to win a championship, and we could never align, but I only cared about his well being, both on and off the floor. And it kind of hurt me a little bit.”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! We’ve all seen Kyrie when the team was all his. We’ve seen him when he was the franchise player. When the dun was drafted to the Cavs in 2011 they won 21 games his first year. For those doing real math, they won 31 percent of their games. The following season they won 24 and the third season they won 33.
So it’s fair to say that Kyrie was never in a situation where there was a last second shot being down by one point. You have to be on a team that is actually competing for something for the situation to be clutch.
That wasn’t until LeBron showed up and put the entire team/city on his freakin’ back to put Kyrie in a position to hit a big shot. Regular season Tuesday night games in February don’t count as clutch playa.
Boyz forget real quick that LeBron led both the Cavs and the Warriors in points, assists, rebounds and blocks and steals just so Kyrie could knock down a clutch shot. Without LeBron we aren’t talking about Uncle Drew.
Uncle Drew playing by himself hasn’t accomplished a thing. How were things in Boston playa? How did that work out? Now he’s in Brooklyn talking reckless about not even needing a coach at one point and he hasn’t played a single minute with KD. Ain’t he the same cat that said that the earth was flat?
Here’s what blows my mind about boyz saying that LeBron isn’t clutch. How can you have a higher shooting percentage in last second shots than the dun that everyone worships, Michael Jordan and not be the most clutch? LeBron is 47 percent in clutch situations and Jordan is 45 percent and for those that are checking Kobe was 28 percent.
LeBron has hit more playoff buzzer beaters than anyone in the history of the game with 5. Jordan has 3, Damian Lillard, Paul Pierce, Jerry West and Jo Jo White all have 2. So the question of being clutch goes out of the window if we’re using simple math and facts. Everything else is boyz just hating and I’m not sure what Kyrie is doing but it’s not making sense. Stop me when I start lyin’!
