NBA star Kyrie Irving did not hold back about his feelings on some of the former players who now cover the sport and how he feels some \u201cjust be talking chat s\u2013t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mavericks guard \u2014 and one-time member of the Nets \u2014 was\u00a0streaming on Twitch on Saturday\u00a0for more than five hours, during which he discussed a number of topics, including his feelings on the way the NBA is covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One major sticking point that Irving had involved the negativity surrounding the coverage of the sport, in particular from guys who had once been where he is now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even get me started on the former players that are gossiping now that love to s\u2013t on players too,\u201d Irving said a little over an hour into the stream. \u201cPlease don\u2019t even get me started, bro. Do ya\u2019ll remember when I was on \u2018Inside the NBA,\u2019 right? When I stood up there with Kenny, Shaq and Ernie and Charles. I\u2019m sitting up there after they just talked s\u2013t. I\u2019m a man of principle. I\u2019m standing up there, I don\u2019t give a f\u2013k.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not them I\u2019m afraid of, they have no say so, it\u2019s just when you s\u2013t on players. Of course, if the criticism is warranted, absolutely I\u2019m with that. \u2026 But when ya\u2019ll sitting up there and ya\u2019ll having these debates and then I\u2019m sitting there and ya\u2019ll trying to smile in my face, who the f\u2013k is faking it? It ain\u2019t me, I\u2019m in the Western Conference Finals when I did that \u2018Inside the NBA.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irving continued to discuss the topic later in the stream when it came up again, and the nine-time All-Star called on everyone to \u201cstop allowing people to come into our culture\u201d and dictate the way things are supposed to be in the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m talking to some of the former players, too. They have lost their way,\u201d Irving said a little more than four hours in. \u201cThere are some former players who just be talking chat s\u2013t. You don\u2019t even be talking about anything. All you do is hate on the younger players. And then you got young players looking up to these older players and we see them as, I don\u2019t want to call them our idols, but we looked up to them. We valued their journeys. We respected their journeys.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\tKyrie Irving rants about old players in the media: “They have lost their way. There are some former players that just chat shit, don’t talk about anything and just hate on younger players. You see somebody you admire go on TV and say ‘get over it because you make more money’\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/IR12HWpzur\u2014 MrBuckBuck (@MrBuckBuckNBA) March 23, 2025 <\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to get close to them. And then when you see somebody that you respect like that and admire, go on TV and talk about your journey as if it\u2019s just some, \u2018oh yeah, this just happens to you all the time, get over it because you make a bunch of money.\u2019 I\u2019m so sick of that f\u2013king excuse, bro. That you\u2019re not allowed to feel because you make a lot of money in the NBA and you get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irving, who is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL, added that he believed that most NBA fans and commentators didn\u2019t know much about the inner workings of the league, and Irving wanted to use his platform to correct some of that.<\/p>\n
His season came to an end earlier this month when he suffered the injury during a loss to the Kings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irving averaged 24.7 points per game before suffering the injury while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
