Kyrie Irving finally did it. He finally explained what happened with the Celtics and why he left Boston.
He addressed the matter twice at his introductory press conference with the Nets at the start of the team’s media day on Friday.
Now, when Irving is ready to talk about something, he spares no details. In this case, that’s a good thing. Everyone needed an explanation after all the rumors.
The full explanations are below. Here are the major bullet points:
—He was very upset over the death of his grandfather and carried that with him throughout the season. Not seeing his grandfather much before his passing made Irving really think about coming home to play.
—He admits he failed in Boston.
