Kyrie Irving on NBA 75 snub: I’m used to this… I don’t mind it

Stefan Bondy: Kyrie Irving on Boardroom podcast why he wasn’t upset about NBA 75 snub: “I’m used to this since 7th grade when I was called a weirdo and sat in the cafeteria by myself. I don’t mind it. Because along the way I’m going to find my authentic community that accepts me for my greatness.”

Hard not to feel a little bad for Harden. He needs a title and he’s basically lost an All-NBA team to injury late in the last few years for series he could’ve won. CP3, Embiid, Kyrie, Aldridge (retired last year before playoffs), etc. – 9:45 PM

Kyrie showing up on the Jumbotron during a Round 1 highlight reel generated louder boos than the Bucks did when they walked onto the court. – 1:03 PM

Curious to hear from Nets fans… do you want Brooklyn to re-sign Kyrie Irving? – 12:53 PM

Jorge Sierra: Kyrie Irving on NBA 75 snub: “I think I’ll leave it to the conspiracy theorists. I think I was on the list… but I guess I’m not. Maybe I’ll just wait 10 years, 20 years from now… hopefully with a few championships under my belt.” pic.twitter.com/uRaqNUixAW -via Twitter @hoopshype / April 7, 2022

Nick Friedell: Was Kyrie frustrated he didn’t make NBA 75 team? “I think I’ll leave it to the conspiracy theorists. I think I was on the list — but I guess I’m not. So hey, maybe I’ll just wait 10 years, 20 years from now. Hopefully with a few championships under my belt.” -via Twitter @NickFriedell / April 7, 2022
