‘LeBron James Needs Another Trophy’: Fans Troll Kyrie Irving Over Nets Debacle

Published 10/15/2021, 1:03 PM EDT

Kyrie Irving has changed a lot from the time the Cavaliers drafted him into the NBA. From being the apprentice of LeBron James in the Cavaliers to a player who is every defender’s nightmare. However, his behavior and strong opinions have made him the center of criticism around the league.

After his recent decision to sit out the pre-season instead of not following some health protocols of the NBA, he has created a negative narrative around the big three of Brooklyn. Keeping this in mind, it is pertinent to note that Kyrie has not found stability in any team since the 2016 Cavaliers.

Kyrie wasn’t even wild in Cleveland. Y’all go out y’all way to give Lebron a sticker. We know who hit that shot at the end of G7.

Bron hit that shot over Curry at the end of game 7? Guess I was watching a different game.

Even if the block didn’t happen, there was still ample time to go
Down and get a bucket. People have always put too much stock in the block and not enough praise on the shot that actually won the championship.

The year Kylie was traded to BOS he got injured in the playoffs and CLE (his old team) and BOS (new team) both made the ECF without him. That should say everything about his contribution to winning.
