Kyrie Irving opens up on doomed Nets era after Kevin Durant questioned his commitment



Kyrie Irving opens up on doomed Nets era after Kevin Durant questioned his commitment

Even as I watched Braun sit there, he he knows that all like a lot of this stuff was happening, but also him being in LA, he had his own thing going too. So, this is giving him clarity on what happened, but it’s also coming from just Katie and Steve. And there were a lot of parties involved in this and and some of the other parties that are involved probably won’t ever speak on it, but you know, I will around the guys that were committed to the situation. It felt like we were committed, but only but everybody else wasn’t. This is weird. See this? So, this was the part where I I honestly looked at it. I was like, when he said this emotionally, I was like, “Okay, we’re we’re all committed to the goal at the end of the day, but sometimes not everybody’s going to follow what you want them to do.” I wish I had my like my soundboard for this, but like not everybody’s going to do what you want them to do. And I’ve had to accept that as a human being and as a leader, not everybody’s going to do what you want them to do. Not everybody’s going to be committed the way you want them to be committed, right? And and it’s not like Kay is asking me for this, but I like I’m ask I asked for this commitment before I committed to Brooklyn from him, which was a beautiful thing. I’m like, yo, let’s commit to this thing. We could build up Brooklyn. We could really put Brooklyn on the map. You know, nobody’s really thinking about Brooklyn. But when he said that, I’m like, “Bro, Steve wasn’t even in the play yet.” But this is your man’s. This is your man. So, I gotta support that. This is your man’s. Cool. You want him? Cool. I You like Steve, I love Steve. You know what I’m saying? Cool. As a as a younger brother, I’m like, “Okay, I don’t care. That’s fine. You want Steve coach, that’s fine.” But when you’re committed to the same goal and then a year changes things and then things going behind the scenes, like come on. But everybody else wasn’t. It just was weird. Yeah, it was weird timing, bro. It was weird for everybody. It’s It was It was weird for everybody, y’all. You know, and and that’s what I’m grateful that I’ve I’ve been able to to gather all the information and Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, again, I I gave you guys certain details, guys. I’m not I didn’t address this just to be clipped up a bunch of times and this to be misconstrued, misunderstood. Okay? I was just speaking objectively and what happened from my vantage point and how that happened and also giving you guys the context that will be coming out down the line. Right? There are so many things that were missed during that time that I’m I’m always going to reflect on and look at it as if, you know, it gave me an ample opportunity to come and and be truthful, but while also making sure I’m protecting all those that were involved. Again, I’m not shooting shots at anybody. I’m not ever going to try to put anyone else down. I just always will try to big up my brothers and sisters and do it in the best way I know how and talk factually but also, you know, again, give you guys the behind the scenes while also preparing you for what’s coming. Does that make sense? All right.

After Kevin Durant and Steve Nash sat down to discuss what went wrong in Brooklyn, fellow ex-Net Kyrie Irving promised a response.

Tuesday night he gave one.

Or many.

Brooklyn’s Big 3 imploded with the stars getting Nash fired and then forcing their way out.

Durant made waves recently on the “Mind the Game” podcast by suggesting that Irving and James Harden hadn’t been as committed to making the superteam work.
