Stephen A claims Kyrie Irving is still a good human being despite his annoying know-it-all attitude
On several occasions now, respected sports analyst, reporter, and personality Stephen A Smith has clashed with Kyrie Irving. He has stated that Kyrie’s attitude does not reflect that of one who wants to play basketball.
Sadly, his assessment has been backed up by Irving’s recent controversies, surrounding anti-Semitism. Why does Kyrie keep finding himself in these situations? Well, Stephen A claims it is because the former believes he knows better than everyone else.
However, despite all the problems he is facing right now, Smith still has “love” for Kyrie. Stephen A still strongly believes the Nets guard is a good person.
Unfortunately for Irving, he has had one controversy too many. As things stand, he could be looking at a lot of backlashes.
Kyrie has been suspended for a minimum of five games
As things stand, the Brooklyn Nets have decided to take action on Irving. Apart from the $500,000 the franchise is giving the ADL, they have also decided to suspend Kyrie for a minimum of five games.
Uncle Drew did provide a subpar apology. One that clearly wasn’t enough to save him from punishment.
