<p>Well, it didn’t take long before <strong>Kyrie Irving</strong> was back at his usual antics. Just 8 games into the season, he decided not to show up to the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a>‘</strong> clash vs. the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/philadelphia-76ers-t102083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a>,</strong> and is now unclear when he’ll join his team back.</p>
<p>Irving said that he just didn’t want to play vs. the Sixers and didn’t show up to the game. Moreover, he didn’t give any heads up to coach<strong> Steve Nash,</strong> and when he finally reached out to the organization, that was his response.</p>
<p>Some people speculate that Irving’s reaction is related to the incidents in the Capitol and the protests in Washington DC, yet he didn’t offer <strong>any clarification whatsoever </strong>despite having an obligation with the franchise.</p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving Won’t Travel To Memphis With Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<p>To make things even worse, it seems like the former <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics </strong>player won’t even travel with the franchise to Memphis to face the <strong>Memphis Grizzlies</strong>, once again, offering no reasoning.</p>

<p>This isn’t the first time that Irving pulls off a stunt like this. He recently called the media ‘pawns’ and swore that <strong>he wouldn’t talk to them this season</strong>, just to backpedal and address the press after a couple of days.</p>
<p>Irving is supposed to lead the Brooklyn Nets – who are paying him an absurd sum of money – to an<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong></a> championship and step up with<strong> Kevin Durant</strong> (sidelined due to medical protocols), who wasn’t able to play.</p>
<p>Then again, Irving is once again becoming a massive distraction and making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. As of now, the Nets sit at a mediocre<strong> 5-4 record</strong> and his diva personality isn’t doing much to help them win games.</p>

<p></p>
<p>It’s not that Kyrie Irving isn’t entitled to some time of his own. The problem is that he’s got a responsibility to his employers and the league to at least explain what’s going on. He’s making <strong>$34,122,650 per year</strong> to play basketball, not to act like some enlightened guru who’s on another intellectual and spiritual plane than the rest of mankind.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> started the <strong>2020/21 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> season</strong> the best way, dominating two big rivals like <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State</a> Warriors and Boston Celtics. Everything started really well for them but in the next couple of games, things changed for the New Yorkers.</p>
<p>Now they have a 3-4 record and some fans are starting to worry about the future of the team and how they can overcome this slump. They have won only one of their last five games and the alarms are set at the Barclays Center.</p>
<p>Well, that’s not the case for Kyrie Irving, who isn’t panicking over the team’s last results. Kyrie knows the season is young and that the team is still learning to play together and it’s very soon to say they are bound to fail.</p>

Kyrie Irving reflects on Brooklyn Nets situation after losing 4th game of the season - Bolavip US

Sadly, just a handful of them will be able to pull it off.</p>
<p>Needless to say,great talent also comes with great expectations. That’s what takes apart the stars from the superstars: Their ability to <strong>thrive under pressure</strong> and step up when it matters the most.</p>
<p>That’s why some of the best players on earth will be under heavy pressure since day one this year, as they’ll have to once again silence their haters and prove why they’re elite. Today, we’ll let you know about the top <strong>5 NBA stars that will be under fire in 2021.</strong></p>

<h2>Top 5 NBA Stars Under The Most Pressure In 2021</h2>
<h2>5. Russell Westbrook</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Russell Westbrook" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Russell Westbrook" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_russell_westbrook.jpg_22993414_00378a9b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Russell Westbrook </strong>has posted numbers no other player in NBA history has been able to do but that hasn’t translated in a ring. He’s been traded twice in the past two seasons and now has to lead the <strong>Washington Wizards</strong> to the playoffs for the first time in two years.</p>
<p>Westbrook has been deemed a stat-padder and his haters claim that he doesn’t care about winning. The Wizards got off to a rough start and it will be on him and <strong>Bradley Beal </strong>to silence their critics and protect their legacy.</p>
<h2>4. Giannis Antetokounmpo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Giannis Antetokounmpo" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Giannis Antetokounmpo" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_giannis_antetokounmpo.jpg_22993414_5b0d2448.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Giannis Antetokounmpo. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> recently signed the largest contract in NBA history. As such, he’ll be demanded and pressured to deliver when it matters the most, especially considering his history of underperforming in the playoffs.</p>
<p>It’s NBA Finals or bust for Giannis and the <strong>Milwaukee Bucks,</strong> regardless of what he says. He’s a back-to-back MVP and reigning Defensive Player of the Year but needs to step up in the postseason to be taken seriously as a superstar.</p>
<h2>3. LeBron James</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="LeBron James" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="LeBron James" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_lebron_james.jpg_22993414_2dcef73f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    LeBron James. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>LeBron James</strong> is coming off winning his fourth NBA Championship, so why should he be under pressure? Well, because he’s LeBron James, and he’s always measured by a different standard than the rest of the league.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron’s </a>haters will always try to find a way to take him down. They’ve been waiting for father time to catch up with him for years now, and some people actually believe that last season’s ring has an asterisk next to it. As per usual, <strong><em>The King </em>will silence them.</strong></p>
<h2>2. Kyrie Irving</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Kyrie Irving" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Kyrie Irving" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_kyrie_irving.jpg_22993414_0dc28c40.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kyrie Irving. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There’s no doubt that <strong>Kyrie Irving</strong> is one of the most talented scorers in the history of basketball. However, he’s gotten a lot of negative attention because of his antics, weird views, and the way he’s handled the media and his teammates in the past.</p>
<p>Now, he needs to prove that he can once again embrace playing with another superstar in <strong>Kevin Durant</strong>. The <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>spent a lot of money on them, and it’s time for him to pay back bymaking another run at the NBA Finals.</p>
<h2>1. Stephen Curry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Stephen Curry" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Stephen Curry" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_stephen_curry.jpg_22993414_eea9082b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Stephen Curry. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>No other NBA superstar will be under more pressure than <strong>Stephen Curry</strong> this year. The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Golden State Warriors</strong></a> will once again be without <strong>Klay Thompson</strong> and their roster is far from optimal, to say the least.</p>
<p>Curry is fully healthy and there’s no room for excuses anymore. He must lead the Dubs to the playoffs if he doesn’t want his flawless legacy to take a massive hit. Otherwise, people will start questioning <strong>whether he was actually as good as we say he is.</strong></p>

<h2>Steve Kerr Says It Was His Turn To Coach Vs An Overpowered Team</h2>
<p>That’s why, when asked about how it will be like to go against such an overpowered team with <strong>Kyrie Irving </strong>and Kevin Durant, coach <strong>Steve Kerr </strong>simply joked by saying that he just had it coming after having a superteam of his own for most of his coaching career:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I probably deserve this given that I was coaching a team like that for five years.</strong> So it’s probably about time I have to face this where you’ve got all these weapons, all these players who can hurt you. Obviously Kevin and Kyrie, but so many of their support players are capable of having huge nights,”</em> the coach said, as quoted by <strong>Kristian Winfield of New York News Daily.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Golden State Warriors had four All-Star players on their starting five <strong>(Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant)</strong>at one point, adding another former All-Star in <strong>DeMarcus Cousins </strong>as well.</p>
<p>Now, the Warriors are far from the dominant and stacked team they were just two years ago, but they still have plenty of talent to try and match up vs. the Brooklyn Nets<strong> or any other team that stands in their way.</strong></p>

Steve Kerr hilariously explains what it'll be like to play vs Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant - Bolavip US

<p>As the days go by,<strong> Kyrie Irving </strong>continues to draw attention around the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> community </strong>for the wrong reasons. Despite being one of the most skilled players ever, it seems like his attitude and desire to be in the spotlight has made a lot of people ignore just how good he is at basketball.</p>
<p>Kyrie Irving’s words constantly rub people the wrong way. It’s not just what he says – which often doesn’t make any sense – but how he says it. <strong>The way he’s handled the media has been just arrogant, to say the least.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why former NBA player <strong>Charles Barkley</strong> had some pretty harsh words about him and his constant antics, including refusing to talk to the media and calling them ‘pawns’, just to backpedal yet again.</p>

<h2>Charles Barkley Blasts Kyrie Irving For His Never-Ending Antics</h2>
<p>In an interview with <strong>ESPN Radio,</strong> the former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/phoenix-suns-t94622" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Phoenix Suns</strong></a> superstar blasted Irving’s attitude towards the media. According to Chuck, he should stop acting smart and talk to the media because no one’s buying his act right now.</p>
<p><em>(Transcript via Fadeaway World):</em></p>
<p><em>“I’m not sure what he’s doing. I don’t like it. You know,<strong> they don’t pay you $40 million dollars just to play basketball. </strong>Part of it is sitting down with you guys, sitting down with me and Kenny [Smith] and Ernie [Johnson] and [Shaquille O’Neal], talking to New York reporters. <strong>Talking with the media is part of your professional obligation.

<p><em>And when he talks I’m like ‘what the hell is he trying… what is he saying and what is he trying to say?’ He starts talking about what an artist is. He’s a basketball player. That’s what he is. Listen, we’re not… <strong>we’re not frontline responders. We’re not teachers. Yo man, you dribble a basketball, stop acting like you’re the smartest person in the world.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Now can you talk about social issues and things like that? Of course. But some of this other stuff I’m like ‘yo man, you do realize you’re just a basketball player, right?’ <strong>And it seems like he’s like ‘no I want you guys to realize I’m the smartest guy in the room.’ Well first of all, you’re not. </strong>You only went to college for six months. A lot of guys are smarter than you are. Just answer stupid basketball questions. And if you want to say something about social justice, say it and mean it, because it’s important and significant. But all that other stuff? Like, yo man, shut the hell up and talk basketball.”</em></p>

<p>Barkley sure has a point here. There are countless players around the league actually standing up for social issues rather than just playing the woke game. Take <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Jaylen Brown </strong>for example. Irving, on the other hand, has spent more time calling out the media, mainstream people, and even his current and former teammates rather than backing up his talking.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, he always backpedals his comments and claims he’s misunderstood, we’ve seen that over and over. Hopefully, he’ll focus solely on basketball next season, as he’s by far <strong>one of the best players in the league.</strong></p>

Charles Barkley destroys Kyrie Irving in a hilarious rant

<p>While <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a> has been able to lead some subpar squads to <strong>the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA’</a>sbiggest stage, </strong>it’s also pretty safe to say that he’s had his fair share of superstar teammates. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons why his haters often call him out.</p>
<p>They say LeBron can’t win without help. Well, we’ve got some breaking news for you, folks: No one can, that’s why it’s called a team sport. Then again, one could argue that <strong><em>The King</em> has had plenty of help to achieve success.</strong></p>
<p>Besides Dwyane Wade, James has had two superstar teammates that are far younger than him but that have lived up to the task when called: <strong>Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis</strong>, winning one ring with each.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And, even though his relationship with Kyrie didn’t end up how they’d expect and Davis is clearly one of his closest friends right now, James has always tried to be objective when discussing his time with each other.</p>

<h2>LeBron James Chooses Anthony Davis Over Kyrie Irving</h2>
<p>But, when asked about which one was more gifted between Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, James didn’t hesitate to choose the latter because of <strong>his physical advantage</strong> over the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets’ </strong></a>point guard:</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><em>“You know we talk about Kyrie (Irving) as far as how gifted he is.<strong> AD is even probably more gifted than Kyrie</strong> in the sense of you add seven, eight more inches of height. His ability to dribble, shoot, three-pointers, mid-range, low post. His defensive prowess is uncanny,”</em> James said in an interview for the<strong> Road Trippin’</strong> podcast.</p>
<p>Well, he clearly has a valid point. In fact, Davis has often been named in the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year conversation, while Kyrie hasn’t. That doesn’t mean that one is better than the other, <strong>we’re just stating facts.</strong></p>
<p>At the end of the day, I guess it will all depend <strong>on a team’s need</strong> and how well any of them meshes with the rest of his teammates, but at least we finally got an answer from the guy who’s played with both of them.</p>

LeBron James finally chooses between Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving

<p>There are a lot of huge egos in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a>, especially among the top scorers in the league. And, as most fans may already know by now,not many people have a bigger ego than<strong> Kyrie Irving, </strong>especially when it comes to <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James.</strong></a></p>
<p>Kyrie has often been a subject of controversies. And whenever LeBron James is in the mix, he feels like he needs to step up for some reason. It was like that when they shared the court forthe <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers </strong>and it’s only gotten worse ever since he left.</p>
<p>Most recently, the<strong> Brooklyn Nets’</strong> All-Star point guard seemingly took a shot at James while lauding <strong>Kevin Durant,</strong> claiming that this would be the first time that he could trust a teammate to knock down a big shot.</p>

<p>Durant and Irving haven’t played a single minute of NBA basketball together, although they did share the court for <strong>Team USA.</strong> Even so, there’s just no way on earth that it wasn’t a shot towards LeBron James.</p>
<h2>LeBron James Says He’s Not Jealous Of Anthony Davis</h2>
<p>The King didn’t hesitate to throw a light jab of his own towards Irving way, claiming that the reason why he’s been able to dominate so well next to <strong>Anthony Davis</strong> is that they’re not jealous of each other.</p>

<p><em>“<strong>We’re not jealous of each other.</strong> We know who we are. We know what we’re about, and want the best — seriously, every single day — for one another,”</em> The King said ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.</p>
<p>For those who lack context, Kyrie Irving won just 35% of his games before LeBron James went back to Cleveland. He was nowhere near even playing a playoff game before LeBron and<strong> Kevin Love</strong> helped him make <strong>3 straight Finals.</strong></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<p></p>
<p>Irving then forced a move out of the Cavaliers allegedly because he wanted to be ‘the man’ but his leadership style didn’t suit well for the<strong> Boston Celtics</strong> as he threw his teammate under the bus repeatedly.</p>
<p>There’s absolutely no denying Kyrie Irving’s talents and yes, probably Kevin Durant is the best offensive player to ever live but it seems like<strong> throwing shade at the guy who <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/how-many-nba-rings-does-lebron-james-have-20200928-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made you a winner</a> is way out of line.</strong></p>
