We\u2019ve done Irving a disservice. Instead of writing about the 18 gazillion problematic things he does off the court, let\u2019s focus on how hard he works at dribbling a ball. What determination, what drive, what\u2026 a jackass. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-1bwb26k-1 fvPqJk\" id=\"h18515\">Kyrie did what he \u2018was supposed to do\u2019 in Brooklyn<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">If you thought the bullshit stopped at just one quote, there are<!-- --> many more. That first sound bite was egregious, but wait until you read the line of logic he offered up for being at ease with how he left the Nets.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-type=\"BlockQuote\" class=\"sc-8hxd3p-0 kDHBHL\">\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to go into too many details because it\u2019s water under the bridge now. I wish them well. I left them in fourth place. I did what I was supposed to do, took care of my teammates, was incredibly selfless in my approach to leading, and I just want to do all the right things for myself \u2014 not to appease anybody that had something negative to say about me or judge me. This basketball game \u2014 just, it\u2019s fun, and I want to keep it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">I need to know why he thinks abandoning his teammates midseason was \u201cselfless,\u201d what he was \u201csupposed to do,\u201d and \u201cleading.\u201d Man, he really is something else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The only person he looked out for was himself, and once he realized that the fans weren\u2019t undying in their devotion, he changed the narrative in hopes that his next fan base has zero knowledge of the very public fuckups he\u2019s made for the better part of a decade. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-1bwb26k-1 fvPqJk\" id=\"h18516\">Irving is set to be celebrated \u2014 as an All-Star starter<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The fact that Irving requested a trade and was dealt before the audio was edited on reaction podcasts says a lot about how the Nets viewed Irving. They couldn\u2019t wait to ship him out, and I guarantee no one thanked him for making sure the Nets were a four-seed<!-- --> when he left. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">I don\u2019t know what clause Adam Silver has to evoke to prevent Irving from playing in the All-Star game, but he should find one. And if he can\u2019t find any, make one up. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">I doubt Kevin Durant will risk reinjuring his knee for an exhibition game, but after the shade he threw at James Harden after the Beard forced his way out of Brooklyn at this time last season, I desperately want them to share the court together. The only redeemable aspect of showcasing Irving would be KD taking a swing at him. Hold on\u2026 The prospect of a brawl breaking out at the All-Star game melted my brain, so let me scoop it back in there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Do the captains have to pick him in the first eight selections because he\u2019s a starter? LeBron James and Giannis Antetokuonmpo should all agree to make him the last pick, and see if he\u2019ll just fucking leave over the disrespect. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">You want respect, Kyrie?!
