What's going on with Kyrie Irving?

[nomar]

He admits in the first article that he could've done more to cope with his grandfathers passing. That still being a good reason for someone to be moody, especially when he meant so much to Kyrie. If anything he deserves props for owning his mistakes there.

The second article reads like a hit piece to me. Kyrie avoides small talk in elevators? Never met anyone who does that... He also doesn't need to participate in voluntary workouts, he was the best player on the team, and that workout wouldn't have changed the next few games.

If you don’t want to see something, you’re not going to see it.

Imagine riding in an elevator fifty times with a co-worker who never said a word to you once. Regardless of whether that story is true, the fact that you’re brushing that off as normal is super weird.

He was on an island in Boston and the exile was self-issued. Not sure where you’re coming from but if he ever plays for your team, you’ll see. 3 for 3 so far.

I honestly feel bad for him. He’s in a constant struggle. Pretty obvious if you’re paying attention, which you clearly haven’t been.

p.s. Jay King’s underlying article is not a hit piece. And while some Celts fans have said nasty things about Kyrie, the team’s coaches and players have been quite circumspect. But literally everything we do know points to Kyrie being a loner who is often in a “funk”.

Is it not weird that the coach apparently didn't say anything to start a conversation? Idk man I have lots of co workers I'd never speak to again if they didn't come to me first. Maybe he just didn't like that assistant very much, could be any reason since this assistant coach didn't provide any context.

I don't even know what to say about the rest. Just a bunch of generalizations and repeated nonsense I've heard all the talk show hosts say.

Is he doing anything about it? Is he trying?

I hope he has a therapist

this should provide some good context. If you click the tweet there's a thread with more info.

He's getting bent off of his ass in Geno's wine cave.

Kyrie rips his teammates some new ones. Just another day at the circus.

Kyrie: Nets' needs to reach next level 'glaring'

Kyrie Irving knew the Nets were lacking pieces needed to be successful when he joined the team, and after Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, he said "it's glaring" that there's work to be done in the offseason.

As the resident kyrie defender, this is inexcusable. No idea why he felt the need to do that.

The technical phrase for Kyries ailment is "coocoo for cocoa puffs".

Too bad because skills wise he is an all time great rare talent.

Don't disagree with any of that, but some of it is also uncontrollably self inflicted, the comments he makes about his teammates are easily curtailed, whether depressed or not. Perhaps he could have a mild form of autism or something, idk. Either way, the comments are incredibly un self-aware.
