In the NBA, Irving is revered as one of the older guys that younger players look up to, not just because of his incredible handling and ability to make impossible shots, but also because of the kind of man he is and the way he conducts himself.

Even though Irving might still receive a negative reputation from the general public and supporters of rival teams, as long as his teammates appreciate one another and acknowledge his identity, the outside noise will be muted.
