In the last few days, the Kyrie Irving trade has triggered various reactions from the NBA world and even outside the sporting world. As a recent addition, New York Mayor Eric Adams took a sly dig at the fourth-quarter maestro after the big trade news. After failing to arrive at a new contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets, Irving is all set to represent the Dallas Mavericks in the coming days. However, the fans flooded the Twitter comments with hilarious opinions on the Mayor’s take.

Mayor Adams and Irving had issues in the past as well. The Mayor had imposed strict vaccination restrictions on the NBA players for the games in New York. The Nets star had to miss several home games because of the mandate. However, the officials later lifted the mandate allowing the players to do their job.
