Kyrie Irving not being nice?

The NBA superstar surprised everyone this week when he exercised his option with the Brooklyn Nets for the upcoming season. The Brooklyn Nets were also reportedly stunned, as he never informed the Nets of his decision before it was reported by the media.

“I was told the option pick up came as a total surprise to the Nets,” said Windhorst. They found out when everybody else did.”

Brian Windhorst, who rose to fame as a LeBron insider, also detailed some pretty damning news that Kyrie hasn’t exactly been a good teammate. IN fact, he’s been downright rude to not only his coaches, but his teammates as well.

“[The Nets’ front office] made it clear the status quo from last season is not acceptable. And it wasn’t just about the vaccine mandate, it was about the way Kyrie Irving treated his teammates… his coaches,” Windhorst said.

Twitter reacted  to Windhorst’s  claims:

 

Kyrie Irving has played in only 103 games in his three seasons in Brooklyn. When he plays he’s been solid, averaging 27.1 points, 6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds.

Now if he can only cut out his BS maybe he’d be worth it.
