Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving responded to a fan on Twitter on Tuesday who claimed the 31-year-old has struggled to find success in the NBA since parting ways with former teammate LeBron James.
The Twitter account “Basketball Forever” posted a graphic highlighting Irving’s previous six seasons dating back to his departure from the Cavaliers. During that time, Irving has featured for three teams: the Celtics, Nets, and Mavs.
Set for his second season in Dallas after signing a three-year contract extension, Irving issued a response to the graphic, making a bold guarantee that he’d change that narrative over the course of the next few seasons.
