Earlier today it was reported that the point guard is choosing to opt out from re-signing with the Celtics for next season, as he skipped out on their $21.3 million offer.
Though he still has the option to take the team’s offer, it appears Irving may try his luck in free agency.
Hours after the news broke, Irving posted a video, channeling Mother Theresa as the source for his caption:
“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway,” the caption reads. “If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. -Mother Teresa”
Kyrie is definitely out there.
This certainly doesn’t help with the perception that he’s a strange one.
