Kyrie Irving Responds To Harsh Criticism From Paul Pierce And Kevin Garnett

Without dropping any names, Irving addressed the hate and once again reminded us that basketball is just a sport.

Irving has been spectacular in the 11 games that he was able to suit up for this season, having remarkable averages of 28.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 93.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Although Irving was phenomenal, it did not translate to wins for his team, as the Nets struggled right out of the gate.

It certainly does not help Irving’s cause that the Nets actually started playing better without him due to the improved play of Spencer Dinwiddie.
