    Kyrie Irving to the Brooklyn Nets

    ClutchPoints What’s the deal? According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets agreed on a four year, $141* million deal. What does Kyrie Irving bring to Brooklyn? For the 2018-2019 season, the Nets had their young guard D’Angelo Russell put on a show, leading the team to their first playoff appearance since 2015. Now, the Nets put that aside and turn to Kyrie Irving to hopefully take the team to the next level. Irving is a six time All-Star, an NBA Champio

    Kyrie’s Quest For Greatness Might Lead Him Back to LeBron

    NBAE/Getty Images Kyrie Irving’s path to greatness was already laid out in Cleveland when LeBron James returned. After a successful internship with Pat Riley in Miami where he collected his first two NBA rings, James fulfilled his legacy in Cleveland making true to his promise of winning a championship for his home state. Under James’ leadership, Irving grew into an All-NBA guard. In the grand scheme of things, the endgame of James’ second act in Cleveland was supposed to pla

    How an Impending Duel With Giannis Will Shape Kyrie Irving’s Free Agency

    How an impending duel with Giannis will shape Kyrie Irving’s free agency AP Maligned and cryptic as ever, Kyrie Irving is on a collision course with destiny. Few teams faced as much manufactured drama and disappointment as his Celtics did this season. With Irving’s impending free agency looming large, how Boston performs in the postseason is said to be of critical consideration. That Irving has eyes for New York City is no secret. To make matters worse for the Celtics, Kevin

    The 3 Most Essential Players for the Boston Celtics

    USA TODAY Owners of the most loaded roster in the NBA, the Boston Celtics are poised to dominate the regular season and eventually embark on a long postseason run this year. It’s a roster built on flexibility and depth. In such a star-driven league, however, the total sum of a team’s parts ultimately depends heavily on its top players. As such, Boston’s best will have a disproportionate say in how far this team goes. Al Horford Yahoo! Sports When it comes to the switchy defen

    Photo Courtesy: Getty/Rob Foldy/Contributor Where's Kyrie Irving's mind-state at? He says, "I think you guys can feel my attitude is really just redemption next year. Really integrating myself with our team again and really focus on winning a championship. That's the only thing I'm really worried about. Until I get to that point, then I can't really answer any questions. I'm pretty sure management and I will have a talk, but that talk won't happen now." The Celtics' all-star

    A Deeper Look at the Kyrie Knee Injury

    As the Boston Celtics gear up for another postseason run, it is clear that the excitement around this squad has all but disintegrated. What was once a promising team that had an outside shot at becoming the first Eastern conference squad in 7 years to overcome LeBron James and the Cavaliers, is now at risk of being eliminated in the first round. The reason for such a fall from grace is due to the absence of one man, Kyrie Irving. Coming into the season there were a lot of que

    The MVP Race: Christmas Aftermath

    Every year, the Christmas day showdowns are a way for MVP candidates to put an exclamation mark on their case at capturing the Maurice Podoloff trophy. This season, few of the leading candidates managed to truly take advantage of the stage; however some of the more fringe candidates were able to seize the opportunity and use the showcase as a way to catapult themselves up the rankings. Let’s start with every basketball fan’s favorite ex-teammates, Kevin Durant and Russell Wes

    The MVP Race: The Return of the Big Man

    For the last decade or so, the NBA had seen a huge change in the type of player that dominated the hardwood. Due to some convenient rule changes, point guards had become far more important than in previous eras of basketball. These modern point guards were being asked to score the ball more than ever before, leading to blurred lines between the traditional guard positions. Consider this: in the forty years between 1965 and 2004, only one point guard won the MVP award, and tha

    The “New” Kyrie

    Ever since Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers, he has been battered with accusations insults and negative comments. But when the trade made its way to Boston, and Celtics head coach Brad Stevens got a hold of the former Duke point guard, a change was sparked in Irving’s game. He was tasked with leading a team as the focal point and playing without LeBron James. There were questions of if he would even be a good player, let alone the leader of the Bost

    Not All Is Lost, Celtics Nation

    From what was a highly anticipated, national televised premier night for the NBA, it turned sour 6 minutes into the opening tip. Boston Celtic forward Gordon Hayward suffered a horrific foot injury that will most certainly force him out of game action until 2018, if not the entire 2017-2018 season. It was one of the most gruesome basketball injuries in some time. Players knew it right away. Team doctors and security guards rushed over to attend Hayward. "I have never seen any

    The Top Players by Offensive Play Type in the NBA!

    The NBA is full of who is better than who debates. Best player, best scorer, best passer, the list goes on and on. Those debates will always rage on Twitter. To find out who is the best you need to break it down. You have to look at the numbers. The numbers can combine with the eye test to tell the real story. They can also disagree with the eye test. That's where it gets fun. Today the NBA is all about pick and rolls and pace and space. 3 point shooting is at a premium. That

    Will Kyrie Irving's Soon to Be Exit Impact the Legacy of LeBron James?

    Kyrie Irving sent shock waves throughout the basketball world when he requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert. This mind boggling ordeal comes after the Cleveland Cavaliers third consecutive trip to the NBA Finals, one of which resulted in a championship. Now it is LeBron James who is forced to face his own future legacy. Without Irving (who averaged 25 points per game in 2017) and his clutch late-game performances, James has to wonder whether he w

    Where Might Kyrie Irving End Up?

    The NBA was shaken to its core Friday night when word got out that Kyrie Irving wants a trade out of Cleveland. The Cavaliers have been to the past three NBA Finals and took home the championship just last year after Irving hit a game-winning 3-point shot over Steph Curry in Game 7 with under a minute left. What gives? It's head-scratching for a player on a three time defending conference championship team to want a trade. Irving's numbers have only improved since LeBron Jam

    The Cleveland Cavaliers managed to avoid a sweep in the NBA Finals by routing the Golden State Warriors 137-116. The series now continues in Game 5 in Oakland with the Warriors up 3-1 in the series. Game 5’s matchup will be THE most important game of the series, if the Warriors win, the series is obviously over, but if the Cavs win, I think we’re going to get another Game 7.

    NBA Finals: Cavaliers Must Go Back to the Drawing Board

    Domination. Easy. How about unfair? The 2017 NBA Finals didn’t exactly satisfy craves as it featured two lopsided victories when the Golden State Warriors took a 2-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was almost as if the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing the Western All-Star team in the NBA Finals. This certainly wasn’t expected, and the Warriors are making the Cavs look bad because they have just been superior in all aspects thus far. What must LeBron James and his boys d
