Kyrie Irving’s Aunt Reveals the NBA is Reportedly Just a ‘9 to 5’ Job For Him

Kyrie Irving is one of those guys that marches to the beat of his own drum.

Whether it’s his flat earth theory, or his stance on vaccine mandates, Kyrie is just different. Kyrie thinks differently than most of his peers about his job too.

In an Athletic article, Char White Mountain who is Kyrie’s Aunt, revealed that Kyrie Irving doesn’t see being an NBA player as a glorious career but “more or less just a job” in his eyes.

Via The Athletic:

“At the time Char recounted her story to me, Irving had yet to play a single game for the Nets this season.” Vardon continues the story, recalling the conversation. “And during dinner with Irving, Char said, he told her that basketball was “more or less just a job” to him. Then, as he showed her pictures of his children, he paused and asked her, “Auntie, who can I trust here? Who can I trust?”

If Kyrie treated basketball more seriously, there’s no telling how great he can be.

It’s not like everyone has to be obsessed with basketball, but these guys get paid enough money to take their jobs seriously.

Who wouldn’t die to land an NBA Job.

If people didn’t like Kyrie before this latest  story, they’re really going to hate him now.
