Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks recently shared his thoughts on his stint with the Boston Celtics, who will be their opponents in the upcoming NBA Finals. Irving stated that his time with the Celtics was \"not a great reflection of who I am,\" offering fans a glimpse into his personal journey and growth.
Traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017 at his own request, Irving put up impressive numbers for the Celtics, averaging 24.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game during the regular season. In the playoffs, he boosted his averages to 21.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. Despite these stats, Irving left the team in 2019.
In 2018, the Celtics made it to the Eastern Conference Finals without Irving, who missed the season after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a tension wire from his left knee. He returned for the postseason in 2019, but the team was eliminated by the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern semifinals, 4-1.
As the NBA Finals approach, Irving's candid remarks add depth to the narrative, highlighting his evolution as a player and individual. Stay tuned for an exciting showdown!
