Stephen A. Smith Calls For Kyrie Irving to Retire

Brooklyn nets star Kyrie Irving hasn’t played a game in over a week, and there’s no telling when he’s going to return to the team. To make matters more confusing, no one really knows what’s going on with him. Why is he not playing?

Stephen A. Smith has an idea for Kyrie. Retire.

I’m not even mad at this take. Kinda agree actually. As a fan of course I don’t wanna see him retire I wanna watch him play (even tho I don’t like him as a person his game still fire). His heart just ain’t in this shit https://t.co/2mJI4ViKiy

If you have a job you’re paid to do, you have to go to work. You can’t just not show up and collect paychecks. It doesn’t work that way.

Kyrie needs to make a decision soon, doing this to his teammates is absolutely crazy.
