Kyrie Irving criticizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams

The Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving made a noteworthy comeback at Barclay Center on Tuesday night, showcasing his skills with an impressive 36-point performance against his former team, the Brooklyn Nets. However, his return wasn’t just about the game; it also involved a subtle dig at NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

The tension arose when a courtside fan questioned Irving about his previous performance with the Nets, asking, “Why didn’t you play like this when you were on the Nets?” In response, the Mavericks star attributed his change in play to Mayor Adams, stating, “Thank Mayor Adams for that, bro.”
