“Just thought the statement needed a correction” Kyrie Irving demands apology from fan who was trying to ridicule him with Twitter meme

Kyrie Irving blasts Twitter account for mocking him

Kyrie Irving has been the most trolled and criticized player throughout the season. The Brooklyn Nets had one of the most nightmarish seasons, with catastrophes on and off the court, as the Nets were swept off their feet by The Boston Celtics in the first round of playoffs, concluding their disappointing season and a disastrous postseason, far below preseason hopes and expectations. Kyrie Irving is considered as the player with the best handles in league, one thing he cant handle is disrespect towards him, as he lashed out on Twitter against a meme about him.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have been at the fore of that disappointment and mockery, the star leaders of a club, that on paper could have reached The Finals. Last January, the Nets brought James Harden to the already existing duo of Kyrie Irving and KD. This year, they were forced to trade him, as they plummeted from the #2 seed to barely getting a play-in spot, and got swept in the first round. All this has led to people questioning the future for the Brooklyn duo, and its doesn’t seem so bright.

Each player in the NBA has a different way of handling troublesome fans on social media. While some prefer to simply ignore those comments and carry on with their lives, there are many who make sure to give a befitting reply to these fans. Irving is one who does the talking on the court rather than on social media, however, a trigger is all you need to unleash the frustration the players face due to such uneducated fans.

Barstool sports posted a video meme of Joker from the movie ‘The Dark Knight’ , a popular movie in 2008, portrayed by the legendary Heath Ledger, wherein the Joker is exiting ‘Gotham General Hospital’ after setting up explosives in it. The Joker is compared to Kyrie Irving and the Hospital is compared to every NBA franchise that he has been a part of, implying that he wrecks every organization on his way out.

Irving responded on the Barstool Sports post and corrected them. He asked them to add “NBA champion and gold medalist” ahead of his name. The Nets Point Guard is argued as the best in the history of basketball when it comes to handles, alongside Allen Iverson. Kyrie became a superstar of the league for his quickness, agility, handles and shot making and has many accolades to his name, which he pointed out in his comment.

“NBA champion and *Gold medalist * Kyrie Irving. Just thought the statement needed a correction as y’all continue to make money off of my NAME and countless others.”

The aftermath of last season has left the Nets in shambles, while Kyrie Irving has decided to opt into his $36.5 million player option for the 2022-23 season, thus delaying his free agency for another year. Brooklyn has reportedly been unwilling to offer Irving a full max extension without financial concessions from Irving, like incentives or non-guaranteed years. However, he can still join the Lakers by opting out of the last year on his contract and signing for them through their $6 million taxpayer midlevel exception or picking up his player option and having L.A. and Brooklyn engineer a trade that would send him to California.

Kyrie Irving failed to lead the Brooklyn Nets past the first round of the playoffs this season. The whole scenario surrounding the team had been extremely upsetting considering the amount of the hype that was created on them making a title run once they had a full roster, but it was a complete hundred and eighty.

Kyrie Irving is a superstar, but over the years he has used excuses to not play in basketball games. While he is one of the most gifted players we have ever seen, his love for basketball does not seem to be as strong as it should be for a player of his caliber. Kyrie has taken breaks from games because of social justice issues and even stated personal reasons to go and party at his sister’s birthday party.

It’s certainly a triple-double of problems, problems and more problems for the Nets as they face plenty of questions financially and technically. From figuring out a way for the team to get over the lows and win a championship, the team also has to take care of the business side and make sure they can continuously support the franchise financially to keep competing in the future. As for Kyrie the future looks uncertain, as we look forward to how the story develops.
