Kyrie Irving may be the player most under pressure next season, as he fights for a maximum contract, but also to forget the fiasco of the vaccine. And he should also be very motivated by the wild provocation of an All-Star on social networks.
Kyrie Irving is about to have one of the best seasons of his career. Already because the Nets have a monstrous workforce and he should take advantage of the spaces created by his teammates, but also because he will play with a desire for revenge. It was not extended by its leaders this summer, who made him a shameful contract offer, he will therefore be keen to prove to everyone that he deserves his max contract. In any case, it works for:

Kyrie Irving displayed dirty by Victor Oladipo!
Like many, if not all, NBA players, Uncle Drew works on his game in numerous practice games with other stars. And like a Killian Hayes a few days ago, he was seriously undermined by Victor Oladipo, still very fit offensively. The latter has also displayed the leader of the Nets on social networks, with an audio of the most arrogant.
Bill Russell to Uncle Drew: “What these young bloods have to understand is this game has always been and always will be about Buckets.”
Victor Oladipo just posted this video on IG after getting buckets on Uncle Drew and added the audio 👀

What these young guys need to understand is that the game has always been, and always will be, about the baskets.
Said like that nothing crazy, but the words that accompany this video have a story. Indeed, Victor Oladipo appropriated the speech of the legendary and late Bill Russell in advertising with… Uncle Drew! Concretely, he published this compilation of baskets on the head of Kyrie Irving by decorating it with a speech which was basically intended for him. Arrogance is at its peak.
He will probably have to take on this provocation during the regular season, which will not necessarily be easy against the Nets with their overpowered workforce. Not only is the point guard a nightmare to defend when on fire, but on the other side of the pitch Oladipo could face Ben Simmons and his All-NBA defense… It is therefore good to take advantage of the offseason to put himself forward in this way.
Kyrie Irving is undoubtedly very motivated as the new season approaches, since he will play for a max contract next summer. And this motivation will be even more important when he faces the Heat of Victor Oladipo, to avenge this affront.
