Kendrick Perkins and Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving hasn’t usually looked media in their eye ever since Covid-19 vaccination stance but after the Brooklyn Nets were clean swept by the Boston Celtics, the marquee scorer went onto reveals blast the media over how black/African/indigenous athletes are targeted. On the same note, Kendrick Perkins seemed to have lost his cool on the latest episode of First Take.
To those who are not aware, Kyrie Irving put a series of tweets wherein he criticized the media. He wrote, “Alot of these media corporations make their money by degrading BLACK/African/Indigenous community heroes. They thrive off of it, and then sell it back to us by having a hand selected person or group of people spark controversy about them for the world to see.”
Irving added, “Just Watch all of the people who wake up every day and report about people’s lives on TV and social media, and then profit off of them. Then they justify their jobs by saying they get paid to say how they feel.”
Kendrick Perkins on Kyrie Irving
Perkins took particular offense to Kyrie Irving’s tweets and used his platform on ESPN to share his thoughts and opinions about the seven-time All-Star. “To see Kyrie come out and lash out, all the time his cop-out is going at media. Let me attack the media. Why you didn’t attack Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart?”
It hasn’t entirely been a pleasant time for Irving ever since he has joined the Nets. Firstly, with a Celtics fan throwing a bottle on his head for stamping on their logo to having a stern outlook for Covid vaccine and now to blame the media in such a manner, Irving seems to have caught the eye of the media ample number of times, but his performance with/for his new team hasn’t been able to make his walk his talk.
Given that the 2022-23 season will have a lot of eyeballs specially to see Irving and KD taking the Nets to the penultimate stage? Will the 2016 NBA Champion be able to deliver this time around? Remains to be seen.
