Kyrie Irving Speaks After Skipping Dillon Brooks Jersey Swap

Tue, March 21, 2023 at 8:49 AM

Kyrie Irving is very much a player who lives in his own world. Overall, Kyrie is one of the best players in the entire NBA. He is very exciting to watch, and he can become a blockbuster player on any given night. However, he does tend to do things his own way, which causes some issues. At the end of the day, Irving just wants to live his life. Although, there are some people who simply want him to fail, no matter the cost. It makes for an interesting dynamic that usually ends up playing out on social media.

Although recently, Irving was scrutinized for a much more hilarious reason. Last night, the Dallas Mavericks were playing against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a pretty good game that eventually led to a win from the Grizzlies. Subsequently, following the match, Dillon Brooks tried to swap jerseys with Kyrie Irving. In the clip below, you can see Kyrie giving his jersey to Brooks. However, he does not take Brooks' jersey for himself. Consequently, Brooks was seen walking around the court with two jerseys.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving says it wasn't intentional that he didn't take Dillon Brooks' jersey in a post-game swap:

After the game, Kyrie Irving spoke about what happened, noting that his head was somewhere else. "I saw that after the game," Kyrie said. "I'll probably get it next time. Probably next time. Not this time. I was really onto the next thing, thought process-wise." Ultimately, this is a very plausible explanation, especially since this is Kyrie. Moreover, it is even funnier because it is Dillon Brooks whose jersey was not accepted. Fans hate Dillon Brooks right now, so any kind of incident such as this one is seen as a comedy of errors.

At this point, it is very unlikely that Brooks will ever be liked by the majority of NBA fans. He is starting to turn into Draymond Green, and people do not like that. Additionally, the Memphis Grizzlies are just not extremely likable right now. When you put all of this together, it becomes clear that this situation was really funny. For once, Kyrie is seen as the hero. Hopefully, he cherishes the feeling for a while.
