“I never had a bad time with the organization. I just think there was a lot of chaos and noise, as always, from the media.

I’m sure people have sources they consult about what was happening and what really happened,” said the athlete.

The player stated that due to emotional problems and exhaustion he had requested the chance to change or leave the team before the period proposed and agreed between both, to have the opportunity to change horizons. A while later, Kyrie Irving’s departure was announced.
However, there are reports that the loss of points in season games between 2021 and 2022, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and reports about vaccination, caused Kyrie Irving’s transfer to the Dallas Mavericks to be accelerated and brought forward. The player defined the strategy as one of the best changes in his career.
“I gave an interview to the media and said there were some disrespectful things going on behind the scenes, but again, when it’s me, it’s a fire starter. Everyone loves using my name to build the credibility they need and at the end of the day, I have no problem with that”, said the athlete about the controversies he was involved in.
