“I didn’t give [the Celtics] everything I could have,” Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving said at his new team’s media day, as per multiple reports (including Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston and MassLive.com’s Tom Westerholm). “I failed.”
Opinions likely vary among Boston Celtics fans regarding whether Kyrie Irving should address how his final Celtics season turned out—and how he contributed to its disappointments.
Some may want him to say his mercurial attitude had detrimental effects on the team during much of the 2018-19 NBA season, playing a major role in the squad’s death with a whimper in five second-round games against the Milwaukee Bucks.
