The NBA requires players to meet high standards of discipline to compete in the league. Any action that rubs them the wrong way can lead to major consequences. The league does not only stick to behavior on-court, but also takes disciplinary measures for actions off-court. This is something that the Dallas Mavericks star guard, Kyrie Irving experienced firsthand.

Kyrie Irving has been one of the most popular faces in the NBA for several years. The 31-year-old has mesmerized the NBA world with his unbelievable handles and ability to finish at the rim time and time again. However, he has been through his share of controversies over the years. Be it his decision to ask out of franchises or his activity on Twitter, his actions have landed him in a heap of trouble.

Recently, a Twitter update caught the 8-time All-Star’s attention. This update prompted an interesting response from Uncle Drew.

Kyrie Irving responds to Twitter update

Since Elon Musk took on Twitter, the platform has seen changes like never before. From the logo to the viewing restrictions, the billionaire has changed the way the platform operates. Similarly, he recently announced another shocker of an update that even caught Irving’s attention.

Musk took to his platform to make an unexpected announcement. “If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know“, he tweeted. However, this elicited an interesting response from the Mavericks guard, seemingly taking a jab at the NBA.

Irving shared a GIF in response to Musk’s surprising update. The GIF read, “It’s like a riddle wrapped around an enigma“. However, the 6’2 guard immediately clarified what he meant in his response.

“Don’t take my GIF too serious folks. I love Satirical Humor and I am at peace with everything that’s happened in my life.” he mentioned. He further put up another GIF that read “The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma“.

Irving cleared out the intentions behind his tweet. However, he does not have a fond history with Twitter. A few actions from the 8-time All-Star led to severe consequences, also costing him a priced possession.

Uncle Drew’s actions met with severe consequences

Kyrie Irving is no stranger to controversies. Although he cleared out the intentions behind his recent Twitter exchange with Musk, Irving’s actions on the social media platform have come at a cost. His Twitter presence has been a major cause for concern for the 31-year-old.

Although his decisions to bail on previous teams have met with criticism, his social media conduct has caused more trouble for the Mavericks guard. During his time with the Brooklyn Nets, Irving got involved in a controversy regarding anti-Semitic behavior.

He posted a link to an anti-Semitic film in 2022. He received heavy backlash for this action, also getting suspended indefinitely by the Nets. Irving since apologized for his behavior, but this did not stop the $31B worth company, Nike, to take severe action against the 31-year-old.

Irving had an incredible partnership with Nike for several years. His signature shoe line became one of the most iconic ones in NBA history, also carving out its place as a bestseller in the global market. However, after his post on Twitter, Nike terminated his contract, ending an 11-year partnership.
