From the article:
Marks praised his new point guard on Tuesday, saying Irving has already shown leadership and intensity in the team's summer get-togethers. He said Irving has been "religious" in his participation in workouts at the team's practice facility. Marks said he could already see camaraderie building between the team's veterans and young players.

Exactly what Irving is known for.


Yup everything looks great, until the mood swings starts :lol:


He is an amazing energy being.

Dude was religious in everything in his first year with us, problem is that once the guy becomes "unhappy" with something, he becomes unbearable(obviously).
Good assessment:

It is amazing that a guy who's so hard-headed can break his face 3 times already.

Kyrie was great year 1.. unfortunately he’s not enough of a superstar to take the privileges of Jordan or Garnett to be nasty to teammates.. if he turns over a new leaf in Brooklyn it’ll be f*cking aggravating.

Btw, how did the league decide its big tampering consequence should be a fine for the small-market team talking about a supermax for its franchise player

I just hope whichever player elbowed Kyrie that his elbow is alright. Our thoughts and prayers are with him!

This makes IT that much more of a man. Freaking kid played when his sister died and delivered and this clown is using his grandfather as an excuse. What a pathetic miserable human being.

I don't even care, to be honest. Let's just stay off the GB with regards to this, because anything we say that is even somewhat related to the Nets will result in their insecure fans saying "Oh, wE lIvE rEnT fReE iN yOuR hEaDs!"

Amazing in slow motion breaking down how terrible Kyrie and Horford were at defense in this series. Just the year before Horford was praised as being the best defender on Giannis ever. And Kyrie, if you want to take over, you have to be better than trash terrible when on defense and boxing out for rebounds.

Wow. Straight to the G-League. They don't even want him in NBA Camp.
He was chosen #4, right after Jayson Tatum. How far some have fallen.
