Speculation over Kyrie Irving‘s upcoming free agency has led to rumors of the star point guard having interest in joining the New York Knicks. Leaving a loaded contender with young talent seems illogical for the five-time All-Star.
Why would Irving leave Boston for a Knicks franchise that has fallen short of postseason play during the previous five seasons?
It may feel like an eternity ago, but there was a day in NBA history when Irving was the man. On a team led by the greatest player of his generation, it’s admittedly difficult to gain attention as the second fiddle.
