You never know what Kyrie Irving willdo when he drives to the basket. Will he turn around and finish with his off-hand? Will he twist a defenderās ankles with his smooth footwork? Or will he kick it to the open guy? Ironically, the Nets star is as unpredictable on the court as he is off it.
Irving is one of the most offensively gifted players of all time. But as great as he is, it seems like heās always got an agenda. Thatās why the Nets didnāt offer him a contract extension and were willing to let him walk away.
On that same note, fans have urged Irving to cut it out and focus on basketball, which is why he took to Twitter to give everyone a piece of his mind. There, he claimed heāll never changeand even revealed his plans for his post-NBA future.
NBA News: Kyrie Irving Says He Wants To Spread His Basketball Knowledge Overseas
āI donāt have to renew. Iām going into my 12th season in the best league in the world and Iām getting better and better,ā Irving tweeted.
āWhen Iām 38 and have time to really reflect on my career, Iāll do that, but until then, Iām enjoying every moment,ā the All-Star added in a follow-up tweet. āAnd no, Iām not retiring from basketball at 38, Iāll be in leagues around the world teaching young people everything they taught me.ā
Well, at least we know that Kyrie isnāt planning on retiring any time soon. However, a couple of years ago, he claimed he was going to go off-grid and live in the woods once his basketball career was over and that he wouldnāt play into his forties, so maybe heās just trolling again.
Whatever the case, Irvingās character has driven multiple trade suitors away, so heās likely to honor the final year of his contract with the Nets before taking his talents somewhere else. But where will he end his career? Only he and God knows that.
