Kyrie Irving is set to hit free agency in the offseason, but the All-Star point guard apparently doesn’t want anyone to talk about it. Earlier this week, Irving urged fans not to listen to what the media says about his future, as he will reveal his decision when he’s ready.
That hasn’t stopped members of the media from talking about Irving, especially Stephen A. Smith. The ESPN analyst spent the morning on Get Up talking about basketball, including Irving’s future, and he had a direct message for Irving.
“Respectfully, to Kyrie Irving, who doesn’t want us talking about him, don’t play basketball,” Smith said. “We talk about basketball.”
