In the 2011 draft, the 18-year-old Irving was selected by the Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the first round, and began to enter the world's strongest league as a professional player. Nine years later, the 28-year-old Irving has become famous, but at the same time he has also lost the trust of NBA professional managers.
A manager who did not want to be named said: I do not trust Irving. He seems to be on the path to the end of Marbury's NBA career. Some managers said that Irving has lost focus on basketball and the game, and basketball is no longer a priority for him. At the same time, because of Irving's own way of acting and his reckless behavior, many fans have lost their fans of him, or even turned fans into fans.
When Irving first debuted, he was like a ray of light. His playing style was elegant, agile and highly entertaining, which quickly attracted a large number of fans to him. The signature shoe designed by Nike for Irving has always been a practical model in the hearts of fans, and it can be called a must-have for the actual combat party. Originally, this result was good for Irving and the fans, but Irving's behavior after leaving the Cavaliers became increasingly incomprehensible, and more fans became indifferent to Irving and lost fans in the process.
In fact, Irving was a controversial player during his time with the Cavaliers. Many fans were very disappointed with Love's attempt to break the highest score in a single quarter. The main reason why Irving did this at the time was that he was ignorant and forgot about it. Love may have been destined to have such a disaster with a teammate like Irving.
Irving brought his style from the Celtics to the Brooklyn Nets. The most obvious manifestation was the dismissal of former Nets coach Atkinson, and there were also rumors of discord in the Nets locker room. As both defenders, Irving had trouble with Dinwiddie in his first season with the Nets, which inevitably confirmed his status as a powder keg in the locker room. Durant and Irving partnered to win the championship with the Nets. Their biggest problem was not how to defeat their opponents in the finals, but to ensure that Irving would not hurt the team again because of his personality.
After the NBA was suspended, the league discussed the resumption of play. Irving made it clear that he did not support the resumption of play. At the same time, he contacted other players and prepared to form a new league by himself, bypassing the NBA. The reason why Irving does not support the resumption of play is that he does not think that resuming the game is more important than promoting the black equal rights movement, or he realizes that resuming the game will not substantially help the black equal rights movement. It cannot be said that Irving is wrong. Irving is probably the sober idealist.
"In all the teams I have played for, I am the best person to take the last shot." This sentence angered James fans and Celtics fans at the same time, and also spread to those with him. Durant's partner. You can think that Owen has low emotional intelligence, but isn't this a true manifestation of his going his own way?
NBA players are professional players. Their profession is to play basketball, not to engage in social activities. Due to the long-term efforts of black stars such as James and Curry, the NBA has become a pioneer in the black equal rights movement. But the most direct consequence of this is that the ratings of this year's finals have plummeted, the salary cap for the new season has been reduced, and the players' own income has been affected. How to balance playing basketball and promoting social activities is a problem that every black player must face. James, Big Eyebrow, Leonard and others all support this. Irving's biggest problem is that he actually takes it seriously.
If this continues, will Irving be able to enter the Hall of Fame after he retires?
