After Kyrie Irving appeared to call the media “pawns’ in his latest statement, his former teammate Kevin Love reacted. Love commented on the Brooklyn Nets’ superstar reaction, as Irving issued a statement after the NBA fined him and his team for not attending media pressers last week.
(via Forbes.com):
“I’m sorry I’m getting deep with this like Kyrie does, but at the end of the day … I just feel like every man, every woman is my superior and that I can learn with them. That’s just how my curiosity really works, and I don’t have fear with that.
I’ve talked about not having prejudice with that, I try to live by those words. That’s how I feel. I think that calling anybody a ‘pawn’ is a sure sign of disrespect.”
Love and Irving were teammates in Cleveland for three seasons being a vital part of the Cavaliers 2016 championship run.
Irving decided to go on a media blackout, as his comments were frequently twisted, according to the Brooklyn Nets’ superstar.
Irving is set to play his first game since Feb. 1 with the Brooklyn Nets on December 13. The Nets will open their preseason schedule against the Washington Wizards.
