The Nets success in Milwaukee and Minneapolis is due to a number of factors, but one constant has been Kyrie Irving’s game. After scoring 23 vs. the Bucks, he put up 26 vs. the Timberwolves. More importantly, he looked like he is already in mid-season form.
Irving also seems thoroughly committed to the game at hand and is talking more about his legacy. He turned 30 during last season and is now the father of three children. It’s time.
“I have great aspirations of leaving a legacy in this league and however many years that takes me is — that’s laid out [ahead of me], but in the meantime, I just want to build with people in this industry and win together,” Irving told Nick Friedell of ESPN Wednesday.
