What a flex.

I’m a Kyrie Irving stan, so I respect this. But I just know the big Boston radio heads will find a way to spin it negatively, because they always do, especially when it comes to Kyrie. If you take the quote out of context, it does sound a little arrogant. Honestly though, I could really care less. Who gives a shit if the guy is confident in his basketball knowledge? If anything, shouldn’t we want him to be? This is the Celtics franchise guy we’re talking about. Our best player better be a god damn genius. And if he’s confident in his knowledge of the game he is a professional at, great! I want my best player to be the smartest and most confident on the court every single night. I’m just super excited to see how this quote gets spun.
