Good article on the Kyrie experience posted tonight by Bulpett.

https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/kyrie-irving-recruited-anthony-davis-nets/

Have to say after reading this, Celtics-Nets this spring would be a heck of a series.

Not reading the story but i gotta say the guy is just high maintenance.  Glad not to have anyone like that around.  Just exhausting.

His ego is just so big that if the narrative isn’t about him, he gets upset.

One of the Celtic vetarans stopped him...

Al Horford? Marcus Smart? Terry Rozier? Brad Stevens? Can't think of any other vets on the team at the time

Ugh, I can't believe we almost could've had Durant and Davis...that be multiple titles for years to come.

Yeah maybe if they could stay on the court. I heard someone on NBA radio refer to Davis as "Teacup" which I think is a great nickname for him.

I watched Kyrie just quit in that Bucks series and I've never seen anything like it.

Me too ,  it was one of the most shameful individual  displays I ve seen in any pro sports , much less playoff series .

Just a garbage human .

He soured on the C's because the Jays didn't worship him and he didn't really respect Brad. I think that about sums things up.  I remember when Kemba went off on them one night and Kyrie complained publicly  about Brad refusing to double him.

Hayward and Baynes.  Marcus Morris too, but I definitely don't think it was him, but I think it could be any of Horford, Hayward, or Baynes.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Really nothing in that article that wasn't discussed on this site 3 years ago. Lazy article by Bulpett.

He not only quit, he made sure we lost that series. He shot brick after brick after brick.

Total garbage.
