Kyrie Irving believes that his interactions with some of his former teammates on Thursday night are proof that previous reports about him are wrong.
Irving played in Boston for two seasons before leaving the Celtics for the Nets in free agency in 2019. He is now in his second season with Brooklyn.
Throughout his final season with the team, and after he left, there was a lot of criticism surrounding his leadership. A prominent Celtics player appeared to target him. A former Celtics player called Irving a “bad leader” and “disrespectful.”
But Irving shared some hugs with his former teammates after the Nets defeated the Celtics on Thursday night. He believes that proves all the previous stories and reports were wrong.
“Big surprise, huh?” Irving said after the game. “For many people? All that (expletive) – talking about me and all the relationships I have with each of my teammates. I’m glad we can see it in all the games that I have great people here. “
Don’t worry, Kyrie. Being friendly with some ex-teammates doesn’t mean that everything has suddenly been rosy. It does not erase the questioning of the coaches or the year of rumors that you were going to leave the team. None of that changes.
Irving has to be happy that his team is 25-13, while Boston is struggling at 19-18.
