New York Knicks fans have multiple rooting interests centered around ping pong balls and the demise of the Boston Celtics. Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer recently wrote about Kyrie Irving’s impending free agency and his thoughts on a Celtic team that has produced underwhelming results since the All-Star break.
With plenty of quotes to choose from, O’Connor’s most noteworthy claim comes from Irving’s change in behavior since February. O’Connor writes,
“He’s become disengaged and detached from those around the team. There is talk that Irving’s friendships on the team start and end with Tatum, with whom he shares an agent.
