Kyrie Irving is never going to be non-controversial. This month’s events have proven that. It is as much a given as his talent. You can deal with it ... or not. BUT he is also someone who will walk the walk as well as talk the talk.
Over the past year, one filled with a deadly pandemic, calls for social justice and an assault on the nation’s Capitol by insurrectionists, Irving has repeatedly come to the aid of real people, hungry people, sick people, acted as a leader in philanthropy through his family foundation.
The latest: Irving has bought a house for the family of George Floyd, whose killing at the hands of Minneapolis police last May spurred nationwide protests.
