Kyrie Irving casts discrete shade for Cavs and Celtics for ‘talking about [his] name ‘and media’ leaks’

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving recently shared how he didn’t feel himself when he was a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

The veteran summoned people who spoke on his behalf and several leaks he suffered during the previous stops in his career.

“Well, I think there were a lot of people speaking for me, or speaking on my behalf, who didn’t really know who I was,” said Irving. “I didn’t offer this access to many people because it is just a relationship of trust. Leaks here, someone is saying this here. Cleveland and Boston. And I’m not going to sit here and talk about Cleveland and Boston because I know where it goes, where it can go in terms of who you’re talking about or what you’re talking about, so I’m just going to generalize. “

Irving, 28, is one of the league’s most polarizing players.

The guard mysteriously missed out on a myriad of games earlier this season. Although Irving attributed the absence to personal and family problems, he was heavily fined by the league.

Perhaps Irving’s silence on big issues is linked to the mistrust he had with Cavs and Celtics. Both situations involved championship environments and expectations.

In addition, the Duke University product was under the shadow of four-time LeBron James, who attracted a ton of scrutiny during his time in Cleveland.

Of course, Irving played a big role in helping the Cavs win a historic title in 2016. However, his divorce from the team was unpleasant, as he demanded a Cleveland exchange in the summer of 2017.

The All-Star has career averages of 22.6 points, 5.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.
