Kyrie Irving sparked a great debate in the NBA when she suggested players for the league reboot in Orlando, Florida, but keeps her words.
“I think I heard something, it was Maya Angelou, ” he said, a user state in the word of God is the majority. And I’m going to communicate what’s right,” Irving said on The ETC podcast, presented through his teammate, Kevin Durant.
The Brooklyn Nets goalkeeper led a call-up of more than 80 players in June before the reboot, which led players to fight social injustice after George Floyd’s death.
“I’m not going to Orlando,” he told the players, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. “I’m not with systematic racism and nonsense. “
Irving has faced widespread grievance, in particular by mentioning a complaint from former teammate Kendrick Perkins:

He talked about those words on the podcast:
“We have other people like that that that I don’t have a problem with, that’s their opinion, and I don’t feel respectable about any of that either. But what I would say is that I have come to a position in my life where I serve and serve others, but I also take seriously the criticisms of the other people I respect, and of other people who are in the alignment, wavelength and frequency that I am. Me and what I do, what I don’t do, because I took that into consideration, and I’ve also become a very dark position. “
While several players have come out of the bubble, the NBA has advanced with qualifying games and playoffs. Later, the playoffs temporarily stopped after Jacob Blake shot dead police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, prompting a league-wide protest.
Co-amphifiron Eddie Gonzalez asked Irving if he felt justified by his words based on what is happening in the world, even though the 28-year-old replied that some things were not in debate:
“I don’t want to feel justified to say what’s right, what you already know. Historically, if we break down factual data, we are not talking about facts of opinion, we are talking about factual data on things that have happened in our world, in society, in race, religion, our system of trust, the media, the propaganda of racial tensions and social injustice. And there are so many disorders that you want to address, that I want to address, and honestly, it’s so hard to do it without having a destiny. “
Irving’s not going to play resumption anyway because he’s recovering from a shoulder injury. The team retired in the first round of the playoffs after being swept away by the Toronto Raptors.
Irving says he doesn’t think [Nets] has a head coach”: “KD can be just a head coach, maybe I’m just a head coach. “
Irving says on the KD podcast that this is the first time they’ve played it with someone he thinks he can hit.
“This is the first time in my career that I can look down and say, ‘This mother can do this too. ‘
