Former Kyrie Irving’s coach from Cleveland Cavaliers, James Posey reveals that the former was a little selfish back in the day. Irving had a mixed package with the Cavaliers, although he won the 2016 Championship. Yet, he never liked to always be the second preference to Lebron James in the franchise. This is not the first time someone has accused Irving of such behaviour; several others have done the same. 

There is no doubt that Kyrie Irving has over the years developed his personality as a disruptor. With the exit from a championship winning team of the Cavaliers. To leaving a good and center piece role in the Boston Celtics as well. Irving surely knows how to be in the news for his off-court antics. 

“I hope he has matured now” James Posey on Kyrie Irving

He said, “I coached Kyrie for three seasons on the Cavaliers, including when we won the championship in 2015-16. It’ll be interesting to see how Nash and Kyrie work together. 

“Kyrie was still in his early 20s when I coached him in Cleveland, so hopefully he’s matured a bit. I hope he sees the game differently. 

“Back then, he was a young man who didn’t understand the full scope of things. He was more about ‘me, me, me’ than ‘us, us, us.’” 

He added, “For Kyrie, he just needed to mature a bit and understand the bigger picture when it comes to the game of basketball – where it’s all about winning and leading his teammates. 

“Kyrie’s leadership has been questioned, but he has an opportunity to silence those critics by stepping up as a leader in Brooklyn and having a great relationship with Nash. 

“To me, Kyrie is the most talented point guard in the league. I think he’ll continue to get better when it comes to understanding the position, but talent-wise, I’m taking Kyrie over anyone. 

“I just hope he puts it all together as a leader and teammate too. If he does that, whew!”
