Via the WiretapKyrie Irving: Sweep By Celtics Was 'Humbling Experience' Nets 'Needed'Sep 20, 2022 11:50 AM
Kyrie Irving believes the Brooklyn Nets' first round loss to the Boston Celtics was exactly what they needed to drive them this season.
“Get ’em up. I’ve got to get them up on both ends of the floor. I’ve got to be a complete player. Coming for different hardware this year, bro. I’ve been in the lab crazy, since we got 4-0’d,” Irving said on “The Boyz Night Podcast,” before adding three times that the sweep occurred just how it should have. “It was meant to happen like that.”
The Celtics swept the Nets though the individual games were competitive.
“It was meant to happen like that,” Irving said. “Motivation, bro. We needed it. We needed that humbling experience, especially going against the Celtics. It was already built in to be that matchup.
“So we’re going to see them again. We’re going to have to. They’re going to be where they’re going to be. But those young’uns over there in Boston, bro, I got to see them grow up. So to see them doing what they did last year on the Finals stage, making it that far, I’m glad they had to go through us.”
After an offseason in which the Nets were nearly broken up, Irving and Kevin Durant will remain with the franchise and also play with Ben Simmons for the first time. Brooklyn can become a contender if they remain healthy.
“That’s all that matters. That’s all that matters,” Irving said. “All the hypotheticals that come when nobody is healthy and when you’re not 100 percent. … I played 29 games, I barely played home games. It wasn’t a typical season I would have wanted. But things happen. I had to stand on a whole bunch of bigger stuff than just that.”

I like Kyrie. When he is on he's fun to watch and the off the court stuff really gets normal people upset in a mostly harmless way. Maybe it's above my head but the politics of it all are incoherent to me and kinda like if Andy Kaufman was anti-vaxx. I'm a fan.

At this point it needs to be proven and not taken for certainty. The Nets as a whole should be following that model as well.
Enough of hearing what the Nets are capable of. Prove it, actually do it.
All talk around the Nets is just ridiculous at this point.

Frankly, I find it surprising that there are people who
don’t roll their eyes every time Kyrie opens his mouth at this point.
I’m glad you enjoy him. Who are your other favorite players?

Not yet but if he puts his words to action this season then sure. People can change, even later in life.

Chris Paul is one of my favorite players because something is just against him winning a ring that is out of his control, yet he persists and almost gets better as he pushes 40. The inconvenient hamstrings and this weird tension between being a face of both the league and the players in it and clashing with referees to the point it costs him games. I like that, keep fighting Chris.
On the Pacers board the lifers there thought drafting Sengun would be foolish because his ceiling was Al Jefferson or something. Acted like I was smoking crack, which I was; but that had nothing to do with that kid having game. So I'm rooting for him to get better each year.

I’m sure he’s motivated to harrass victims and spread conspiracy theories like his buddy Alex Jones.

Kyrie is an Alex Jones follower. I can’t wait until this guy is out of the league.
