After the NBA title won in 2016, Kyrie Irving no longer found glory in the NBA Playoffs.
In 2017 a new finals, this time lost to the Golden State Warriors. Then the separation from LeBron James And disappointing post-seasons for Irving. Injuries in 2018 and 2020, second-round eliminations in 2019 and 2021, and then worse and worse: first-round sweep in 2022 and failure to qualify for the Play-In in his final season, his first partially experienced in Dallas.

Irving’s response came directly on social media: “Save this tweet, we’ll talk about it in a few years.”. A prickly and combative retort from the Mavericks star who thinks he can get back to winning alongside Luka Doncic.
Pin this tweet and see what happens in the next few years.
