Kyrie Irving's controversial career is known for a few things: his incredible skills and highlights, his winning pedigree, and of course, the drama and confusion surrounding his character and personality. He began as the heir to LeBron James' throne in Cleveland, and once the king arrived, the duo seemed like a match made in heaven. They won a ring in 2016, but what followed this success was overwhelming drama. Why did Kyrie request a trade in 2017 from Cleveland? Why did his career in Boston crumble so quickly? Why did he and James Harden develop beef in just under a year? This is how Kyrie Irving became the most polarizing player in the NBA.

Kyrie is like the kanye of basketball, so much talent but his ability is overlooked due to his attitude and what he does away from the court, his best days were his early ones yet he will always be considered great if not polarising

@SteveJobIess 2 года назад

@@msj8601 the media is reporting the narrative, not creating it. The media didnt trade kyrie from the cavs to the celtics, then to the nets. Years ago reports came out of how much of a headache kyrie was on the cavs. And recently kyrie himself admitted to it. He went to boston and was toxic on and off the court. He made the coaches, teammates, fan base miserable. Then went to the nets and repeated the same thing. Looking forward to which stupid team takes him next. Theyll have a press conference and kyrie will talk about how much hes changed and looking forward to playing on a new team, then he will disappear and do his drama queen routine all over again.

@AHamp123 Год назад

I think a small but important point u missed is remember when the reporter asked Kyrie if he saw LeBron as a father figure and Kyrie said he only had one father Drederick Irving. The media wanted Kyrie to worship LeBron like they did, to the point of almost calling Kyrie his son where to Kyrie it’s like no I’m also a great player. I can understand the frustrations of both sides but I think highlighting that one moment from the media and the questions and narratives they tried to push strained the relationship further than it necessarily needed.

@zweiigorgon8980 Год назад

As a basketball player, Kyrie’s talent is absolutely unquestionable. He makes playing the game straight of effortless But it’s everything else that has people looking at him differently, from telling Celtics fans he wanted to stay only to switch up like two months later to the way him being the leader of that team went to everything that’s happened with Brooklyn so far. As good as he is, I feeling his off court actions/antics have a tendency to overshadow that-the fact that he gets injured fairly often doesn’t really help

To be honest, Kyrie wasn't even making the play-offs without Lebron. Kyrie was a great player but he didn't know how to win. Lebron did. Lebron took Cavs to the play-offs multiple times and went to the finals once before Kyrie. Kyrie would never have done that by himself. Kyrie is a Sage but Lebron is a God. Kyrie is playing next to another God now in Kevin Durant. He knows he needs these type of Godlike players next time him. He is the best number 2 Star you can ask for though.

I’ve always been intrigued by Kyrie’s lack of self awareness at the end of his run with the Cavs. He went from the basement of the East to competing for 2 NBA titles with Lebron. You could even say Lebron set him up in a way that enabled him to get to be the number 1 guy somewhere else, but yet he always came back at Lebron so negatively… never made sense to me how hard he bit the hand that feed him.

@TheArmchairgm Год назад

That's what did it for me, also. LeBron almost won the title by himself the year before against, he was that formidable. So Irving plays the next year, they win, and Irving spazzes out. I get that the "Is Lebron your daddy" question probably infuriated him. But, to the point of destroying that Cavs team? C'mon Kyrie, man, damn....

Lebron need a ivring to score the last 12 minutes basketball. He chocked on last minutes. So they need each other 50/50.

He is the most polarising player off the court. The most polarising player on the court is russell westbrook imo. You either love or hate russ. There is no 'aight, he's cool.' For russ. Kyrie has a steady view when he plays basketball but his personality may strike people off. Nice video.

As a Celtics fan i will always thank Kyrie Irving for making me fall in love with the game of basketball again. His game is an art. Everyone forgets about these basketball players are human as well. He shouldnt have. to change himself, his core values or beliefs for the media. Ill always support kai even if his ass lied to boston 😭

Kyrie reminds me of Antonio Brown in many ways. Both players might be the most skilled athletes at their positions that i have ever seen, but their off-court/off-field antics seem to get in the way of winning over the long-haul. I know circumstances are different with the two of them (AB probably has some form of CTE), but the outcome is the same - they just can't seem to get out of their own way.

@davidfoster2629 Год назад

The difference is Brown doesn't have to play defense in the NFL, Kyrie does, and has given lackluster efforts at it for 95% of the time he's been on the court.

@jujubee4249 Год назад

@Lion78 y’all baby Kyrie cuz he can hoop his ass off. The man only stands for things that directly effect him. Sure he’s done a few activism things here and there, but so has literally every other black star athlete to some extent. He’s no martyr. He didnt lace up cuz he didn’t want to get vaxxed, and he had (rightfully so) taken time off for mental health. Thats all fine… but don’t sit here and act like he’s not collecting checks from the very people who perpetuate and sustain the engine of systemic racism, appropriation and oppression. Stop riding

Mans wants to be comfortable. Before, he wanted (maybe he still wants) to be that guy. No. 1 option, the hero w/o the pressure and the criticisms. After his tenure in Boston, he's at home in Brooklyn. He's a 2nd option behind KD. He's strictly business w/ the NBA becuase that is his job. Man's comfortable. Not defending nor bashing him, he has his bag, endorsements, and future. We didn't know that he'll be that person back in 2016. His true colors were were shown. Whether you continue (or start/end) to be a fan of him or not, all up to you.
