Healthier and happier, Kyrie Irving focused on helping Dallas Mavericks win NBA title
Kyrie Irving directed obscene gestures and profanity at a hostile crowd in Boston the last time the star Dallas guard saw the Celtics, one of his former teams, in the playoffs two years ago.
“I will say last time in Boston, I don’t think that was the best — not this regular season, but when we played in the playoffs and everyone saw me flip off the birds and kind of lose my a little bit — that wasn’t a great reflection of who I am and how I like to compete on a high level,” Irving said.
Next was Irving’s social media post of a link to a movie containing antisemitic material, which led to a suspension from the Nets and the end of his longtime business relationship with Nike. “You could see the smile,” Kidd said. “You could see the relief, or you could see that he was ready to have fun and play the game that he loves.”
“He’s very, very patient,” Lue said after that series of the difference between the Irving he coached and today’s version. “You couldn’t get this Kyrie when I had him. He wants to kill you every moment, every second. But now you can see, he’s just letting the game come to him.” “Seasonal depression is real when you’re growing up in the north,” Irving said. “I spent 12 years in the Eastern Conference in three cold cities that deal with four seasons. So you come out here and you’re able to get outside and ground yourself a little bit more and spend some time with your family. Watch your kids run outside.”
