A Muslim role model but a war criminal in the playoffs?On Kyrie Irving and Fasting – NBA – Basketball

In the playoffs, the series between the Nets and the Celtics was originally predicted to be the most difficult combination to win or lose. Unexpectedly, in the end, the Nets were defeated by the Celtics 4-0. Sweep.

“They’re all tired.”
“Irving is going through a fast, and it’s really not easy.”

In the face of failing to win a single victory in four matches, the two stars in the team, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, are to blame, especially in the second and third games of Irving’s 0-for-8 shooting from the three-point line, the overall shooting rate Only 33.3%, Nets head coach Steve Nash also eased his cheeks, saying that Irving, who is a Muslim, is fasting during Ramadan.

In fact, during G2, the media on the sidelines captured an impressive scene.

Nets star Kyrie Irving left the bench late in the first quarter and headed to the locker room. Just as everyone wondered if he was injured, he immediately returned to the bench with a fruit bowl in his hand, and the receiver started picking it up. ate the bananas.

In order to prevent cramps during the game, many athletes do eat some bananas before the game. Even if they are hungry during the game, most players will choose to go back to the locker room to eat at halftime, even if they bring the bench. Will stealthily eat, people like Irving who bring food directly into the field to eat are indeed not common.

But in fact, the Nets have long seen such a picture, and it can even be said that such a situation has not been seen frequently during this April.

However, for Irving, who has not eaten for more than 14 hours, calorie supplementation at this time is very necessary. After all, as a Muslim, he must abstain from eating and drinking for a long time during this Ramadan.

It can be said that at this time, he must go into battle with hunger to kill the enemy.

So, what is Ramadan?

Let me briefly explain here that the so-called Ramadan is a custom in Islam, which takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During fasting, believers (commonly known as Muslims) will get up before sunrise to eat their first meal of the day and drink a lot of water, because they must refuse all food and drink following sunrise.

Not only is it forbidden to eat and drink during the day, but also smoking and any intimacy is forbidden. It’s just that Muslims will not stop going to work, class or avoid regular and regular labor because of fasting. They believe that by temporarily letting go of worldly desires, they can get closer. Heaven can also improve the heart of compassion through penance.

If you cannot complete the fast for special reasons during the fasting period, you can also start over from the next day. If you fail to complete the task during the fasting month, you can also make up for it following the fasting month, or choose to do good deeds, such as offering free A meal for those in need as compensation for your failure to fast a few days ago.

So, when did Irving become a Muslim?

No vaccinations, absenteeism, middle fingers to fans, perhaps for many, Irving is a man of his own way and elusive. But maybe all these changes are traceable…

“I feel like I’ve grown more mature than my peers since I was a kid.”
“It’s not easy, but you have to accept it.”
“Of course I want my mother to be alive, but you know sometimes it’s hard to beat destiny.”

When he first entered the league, as the No. 1 pick in the draft, Irving immediately showed his amazing offensive talent on the court, but unlike the arrogance and unruly of many talents, Irving’s attitude in front of the media was quite modest and restrained, and it was impossible to see that he was A 19-year-old young rookie, and when asked why he matured so early, Irving thought it might be because his mother’s death at the age of 4 forced him to learn independence earlier than other children.

But following helping Cleveland win a championship and making great contributions to the playoffs, some of Irving’s actions began to be amplified by the media, such as comparing him and LeBron James, who is more qualified to be the team leader and who is the key Time to lead the team to victory and so on.

Perhaps fed up with the bloodthirsty and out-of-context media provoking incidents, Irving gradually tore off the label of “good baby” in the past and began to expose his truer self to the media. And this is the beginning of him being considered by the media as a maverick…

“Sometimes, I’m pretty addicted to conspiracy theories.”
“I’m sure many people are like me.”

In 2016, Irving was photographed by the media with a peculiar tattoo pattern on his left arm, a large palm with a triangle in the middle, and an eye in the center of the triangle, so the symbol is considered to be the representative totem of the Illuminati.

The Illuminati is a fairly well-known conspiracy theory group in history. It has placed people in the government and important organizations in the world, planned major events, and attempted to participate in and control the order of the world behind the scenes. Although the Illuminati has always stayed in the category of urban legends, and there is no definite evidence to prove its existence, conspiracy theorists all over the world all highly respect the authenticity of the Illuminati. At this time, Irving has repeatedly declared himself a fanatic of conspiracy theories on the media and personal social platforms, so many media speculate that this tattoo may be related to the Illuminati.
