Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have been having a rather interesting season. The Nets were on top of the East until the start of the year but they seem to be going through a rough stretch. They have dropped down to sixth in the standings are now 3 and a half games behind the top spot.
However, the Nets finally got to see a glimpse of their Big 3 after Kyrie made his return last month. He showed what they have been missing and proved once again why he’s among the league’s best. Unfortunately for the Nets, Kevin Durant got hurt last month and he is not expected to return until after the all-star game. The Nets have struggled mightily without the league’s best scorer and they have 6 on the trot.
Kyrie has been sensational since his return and the Nets will hope that he continues this fine form continues throughout the season. Kyrie was talking to the media after the game against the Sacramento Kings and he poked fun with NBA media.

Kyrie has notoriously known for not talking to the media, and he has been fined several times in the past. In fact, last year he refused to attend the NBA media day. Only after several fines, did he start talking to the media. He says that the media often twists his words and misinterprets him. Kyrie has been criticized several times by the NBA media for his careless attitude, but he doesn’t seem to be bothered by any of this. Instead, he does what he wants and he focuses on the game he loves.
