It only took 24 hours before a clear answer was finally provided. After posting an article in which a source claimed that Kyrie Irving hated Steve Nash and Sean Marks, the New-York Post recently revealed a denial from the player’s agent, who explains that the latter never said or thought that. Lovers of metaphors, therefore understand that there was fire, and that the firefighters tried to intervene as quickly as possible.
Yesterday, it was with great tweezers that we relayed to you the very spicy words of Kyrie Irving on his coach and his general manager: “ Kyrie hates these guys. He thinks Steve Nash is terrible and Sean Marks is bad“. Anonymous source, “close to”, hardness of the words borrowed… some clues allowed us to have a legitimate doubt as to the veracity of this information, revealed by the New-York Post. Granted, it’s entirely plausible that Kyrie might say such things in private chats, but from there they leak… It will not have been necessary to wait long before the Irving camp itself provides an answer through the agent of the player Shetallia Riley Irving – incidentally his mother-in-law –, also revealed by the journal 24 hours following the article in question:
“I don’t know where this story comes from, but Kyrie doesn’t hate Steve |Nash, editor’s note], nor Sean [Marks, ndlr]. It is neither part of who he is, nor of his way of representing himself in the world. It is for peace, love and acceptance. »
– Shetallia Riley Irving, agent de Kyrie Irving
Okay, back to square one? Not really, because if we want to believe the sincerity of the Irving clan in this affair, the damage is now done and this story will necessarily run through the heads of the main concerned for a while. However, it was therefore important to react quickly to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. Because yeah, the Nets clearly didn’t need that. Between Kevin Durant who clearly assumes he wants to release Steve Nash and Sean Marks and Kyrie who does not hide his desire to join the Lakers, Brooklyn is on the verge of total implosion, if this is not already the case. . Incidentally, we can also point out that, even if the information is well hidden in the very last line of the article, Shetallia Riley Irving still refused to specify whether or not Kiri agrees with KD on the need to fire the coach and the GM of the franchise. We almost want to tell you that the situation is now even more tense, but it was already so much that we don’t even know if it will ultimately change much.
No, Kyrie Irving doesn’t hate Steve Nash and Sean Marks because it doesn’t look like him. So here is the denial given by the player’s agent to the New-York Post, who had 24 hours earlier claimed the opposite. Who is telling the truth? We have no idea. Anyway, only the consequences of this story really matter to us, so we will try to observe them in the coming days.
