The media hasn’t been kind to Irving as well. Recently, former NFL star Cole Beasly came out in support of Irving. Eminent media personality Shannon Sharpe brutally roasted him live on air for that, which wasn’t taken well by Kwame Brown.

Brown said, “Shannon Sharpe is going to call anyone an idiot, stupid, or whatever else that does not agree with his opinion. Cole Beasly, you are brave brother but, I don’t think you said anything wrong.“

Talking about Irving, Brown said, “Somehow, an opinion needs to be explained, apologized, rethought, relearned. Like, I never thought an opinion held any weight. Its a f***ing opinion.” Interestingly enough, he asserted that he feels Irving did nothing wrong and that people are just ‘too sensitive’.
