“He had no impact at all during the playoffs”
Thus, it is Bill Simmons who this time spoke out vehemently about the impact of Kyrie Irving in recent years during the final stages of NBA. The opportunity to slip a new pike to Uncle Drew, announced to the Lakers in recent weeks. ” I’m really confused by the perception of Kyrie Irving versus the facts, because the facts are: In the last five years, he hasn’t had any impact in the playoffs at all.

Emotionally, I was dealing with things that I had no idea had anything to do with me. Absolutely nothing. So when I took that pressure as my own, I started thinking to myself, ‘I have to get Cleveland back to the top.’ It was a solo act”. However, Kyrie Irving isn’t just under fire from critics. Indeed, LeBron James himself had defended him. “He really is so misunderstood! I love seeing how it has evolved over the years. I always believed and knew he was so much deeper than just a phenomenal basketball player “. On good terms…
