Kyrie Irving has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. While it is admirable that Irving is sticking to his guns, he is severing a lot of relationships while doing so. The incident we are referring to is Kyrie refusing to fulfil his media obligations. He and the Brooklyn Nets were fined for Kyrie’s refusal to fulfil his obligations.

After this, Irving released a controversial statement on Instagram. He referred to the media as pawns and lambasted the mainstream media for their approach towards him. This led to an uproar by the journalists, who expressed disappointment and Irving’s actions. Kyrie Irving has addressed the comments now.

Considering Kyrie is known to have a hard time communicating with the media, this is understandable. While he definitely meant to offend the media when he refused to fulfil his obligations, he probably didn’t expect such a negative response. It is best for him if he can just focus on the court.

Kyrie Irving: Is this the same story yet again?

Irving’s relationship with people in general is odd. While he seems to get along really well with Kevin Durant, Irving always struggles to fit in. he was a young player when LeBron James returned to Cleveland, so he had to settle for being number two. After he forced his way out of there, he went to lead his own team in Boston.

That experiment failed, with Irving leaving for Brooklyn in free agency. As a result of the fallout with Boston, Irving’s name has become a constant media talking point. However, he has also been unwilling in accepting the blame for how these situations play out. Irving consistently feels misunderstood, which has generated a hot and cold relationship with the media.
