It’s been three days since Kyrie Irving held his final press conference of the playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped the Nets star from using a different platform to express his thoughts on and to the media.
The enigmatic point guard has been vocal on Twitter in the aftermath of Brooklyn’s season-ending loss on Monday, a defeat that completed a 4-0 first-round sweep in favor of Irving’s former team, the Celtics. But what began on Wednesday as a reflective overview of a disappointing season turned into something entirely different when the 30-year-old took to Twitter on Thursday morning.
Irving, the subject of much debate throughout the Nets’ eventful season, shared a scathing series of tweets offering his point of view on media companies and their intentions, race and spirituality. At one point, he even referred to the media as “puppet masters” and those documented by the media as “puppets.”
