Jackie Mac just said on the hoop collective podcast that Kyrie never liked living in the city of boston and that is part of reason he is living. Said she heard it from multiple people. I am sure this news will endear him to the posters that were on the fence about him. (i know many people don't have a particularly strong feeling about him)

So he lived here for a full year, apparently never liked it, and then told the Celtics STH that he wanted to resign in the city he never liked living in?

Sounds like a bogus story. Maybe based in some partial truth, but I don't think that's the reason he's leaving. Just another reporter looking for another unique angle/story for more clicks.

Not everyone has to like living in Boston. Not everyone will.

The nightlife isn't all that great compared to NYC and LA. Winters suck. Then there's the whole racism thing.

It is what it what is.

Irving will go down as one of my most hated players ever. He burned this team down to the ground and then left.

Yeps.

Pretty amazing how she never mentioned it in any of the many stories she wrote about Irving in Boston.

Better than burning the team down and then sticking around to dance in the ashes at least.  He’s had one important moment of self-awareness in the last 9 months (his only such moment perhaps) — that he should leave, regardless of anything Ainge might offer.

Why wouldn't Jackie say it before? Because Kyrie didn't want it out before and neither did the Celtics. Those would be her two sources on the situation. When a source gives you background information you don't immediately publish it, that's not the job.

Jeez people are realy programmed to hate the media without reflecting.

Did she ever say he loved living in Boston?

Also think of who was her sourcing for those stories with Kyrie? That source was also sick of the FA noise and the turmoil and lashed out about it. So she hears some background gossip, you think she should immediately publish?

People burning Jackie as having bogus stories is just nuts.

Yeah sometimes you know you need to hold off on a story because all it will do is hurt everyone involved.

I mean Rozier already came out to show how bad a locker room presence he is

Didn’t Irving actually live in Weston?  That’s much different than living in Boston like myself.  Lol.  I wonder what exactly he didn’t like about living around here besides the obvious weather.
