After Kyrie Irving officially joined the Dallas Mavericks, he has completed his first training with the new team. Soon after the training, he also talked about his views on the old and new clubs at the press conference.
First of all, he mentioned that he felt “really needed” in Mavericks, which was in sharp contrast to the “disrespect” he felt in the past 3.5 turbulent years of Brooklyn Nets. He made a conclusion about the transfer event, “I think To go to a place where I will be praised, not a place where I need to be tolerated or treated in a disrespectful way.”
“During my time in Brooklyn, there were times when I felt disrespected, and with my game, I worked really hard at my job, but no one ever talked about myWork ethic, everyone only cares about me off the court. So I just wanted to change that narrative, write my own story, and keep getting ready in the gym, now that I’m in Dallas, focused on what’s in front of me.」
Finally, Kyrie Irving also mentioned the lack of transparency and integrity of the Nets management department, which was also one of the main reasons for his departure. Kyrie Irving played for the first time in today’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and interested readers may wish to pay more attention.
