Despite the criticism, Kyrie is one of the most successful NBA players in the current circle. He has a championship under his belt and is regarded as one of the best dribblers to have graced the game. Just because of his stand on a certain issue, it should not bring in the hate that Irving receives. For all that he has done, Irving always holds his family first and has kept them well.
Coming to basketball, it will be a test for the Nets to find chemistry among the new group. With Irving not being a full-time player, will the Nets highly depend on Simmons to be the anchor till Durant returns?
Do you think Brooklyn is better after the Harden trade? Let us know in the comments below.
