The contradiction between Brooklyn Nets star Irving and the media has intensified. Recently, NBA officials fined Irving for refusing to accept media interviews. In this regard, Kyrie Irving was still unconvinced, and lost a lot of remarks, even calling the media a “nobody”. Irving’s words caused an uproar again. As Irving’s former teammate, Kevin Love can’t stand it anymore. He criticized Irving’s remarks in an interview, saying that Irving is too disrespectful of people.
Love believes that everyone has their own role, and the media is to do their job well. He is very grateful for the work of the media, especially in the current epidemic situation, it is not easy to insist on doing good interviews. Love said: “It is absolutely disrespectful to call anyone a nameless pawn. Of course, I am not a person who wants to create contradictions.”
The new season is approaching, the interaction between NBA stars and the media is inevitable, and players are also responsible for accepting media interviews. However, Irving released a statement stating that he would not accept media interviews throughout the season. The NBA obviously wouldn’t allow this to happen, so it fined him. Irving did not stop after being fined. Instead, he continued to criticize and even expressed disrespect for the media, which would obviously worsen the relationship between the two parties.
Love is a big player with a gentle personality. He rarely criticizes others, but he couldn’t help but stand up and scold his former teammate Irving this time. Love and Irving used to be teammates in the Cleveland Cavaliers and won the NBA championship with LeBron James. However, Irving is not very kind to Love. In a match between the Cavaliers and the Pioneers in November 2016, Love broke out in the first quarter of the game. With LeBron James’ crazy feeding, Love made 8 of 10 three-pointers and was expected to break Klay Thompson’s single-quarter scoring record. Under normal circumstances, the teammates will assist him and continue to feed him the ball. Irving didn’t. The next few times he handled the ball, he chose to do it personally. He didn’t pass the ball when Love ran out of an open three-pointer, which eventually made the latter miss the record.
