The series against Boston began with Kyrie Irving mocking not only Celtics defenders and Celtics fans, but all spectators in general. The most impressionable of us (LeBron James) once again showed the highest understanding of basketball – without waiting for the denouement, he wrote: Damn, what a shame that Kyrie is not in the Top 75🤦🏾‍♂️.

At this moment, Irving demonstrated why he is considered the most unstoppable small in basketball – he threw three-pointers at the hosts, and if they took a step towards him, he easily made his way under the shield, when the Celtics closed both below and on the perimeter, he still invented unthinkable tricks and rocked the league's top quarterback with crossovers.

It was Irving who kept Brooklyn in the game until the last seconds – Tatum and Marcus Smart had already taken care of him, but by this moment any defense had ceased to mean anything: Irving went into the astral plane and from there he designed another basketball masterpiece, and in this case, the level of resistance is nothing does not mean. The power of the Boston defense, the tension of the last minutes, the pressure of the stands directed exclusively at him – this is just a background that emphasized his uniqueness.

What happened next is known. First, Irving ruined the first match for Brooklyn – ruined the decisive attack when he did not share the ball with his partners, despite the most primitive double-team, and slipped it only to Durant in the last seconds. He acted as an extra around whom Tatum turned around. Then he went missing – in the remaining three matches he has 4 out of 13, 6 out of 17, 6 out of 13 from the field.

And the most memorable episode is the demonstrative departure right during the second match and the subsequent appearance in the stands with containers and a banana. Every move Irving has made in the last three games has shown that the newly minted Muslim thinks more about food than any sporting achievement.

You can understand the problems of the Nets as much as you like, but the main culprit for the elimination of the preseason favorite in the first round does not need any clarification. Irving staged an irrational anti-vaccination riot, discouraged Harden from any further cooperation, missed more than half of the regular season games that narrowed Brooklyn into the playoffs and didn’t have time to play properly, and then chose religious salvation over total dedication and neutralized himself in the very moment when his help was especially important to Durant, who was thrown half of Massachusetts.

If one could imagine that someone decided to destroy the club from the inside, what other ways could he advise the Brooklyn revolutionary?

Not to say that this surprised anyone.The whole career of Irving has long shown that basketball for him is not a result at all.

Irving lived perfectly before Lebron James appeared in his life – he went to the matches of all the stars, lifted Kobe, finished the season in April … It was LeBron who saw the perfect assistant and replacement for Wade: unlike him, the Cleveland guy knew how to throw three -points, and He was also young and healthy. James met with Irving at the moment when he still listened to someone except the voices in his head-it was not easy, but LeBron took place to 22-year-old and broke through the alienation wall.

Everything happened literally before our eyes: James screamed on Irving right on the bench-Irving answered him on the floor, for example, when he brought to life the first and most famous creation from his portfolio, those 57 points against San Antonio. James demanded a report for two failed games of the 2016 finals-Irving returned from 30, 34, 41 points or with one of the greatest shots in the history of the NBA. James turned on the cruise control-Irving has overcome himself and spent 72 matches unattainable since then. During these three years, Irving showed himself to be the most aesthetic superstar of the League, but did not achieve autonomous recognition, because there was always the feeling that it was as if they were guided, forced, pushed (and does it understand what it is clear why).

It soon became clear that there really was a violence against a person. Irving demanded an exchange in Boston, as he wanted the team to be built more around him.

Kayri, more or less freed (he not only got out of the influence of LeBron, but also gained complete freedom of thought process, which immediately expressed in the declaration of the land flat), never gave the reason to think that the base interests of the Ringchaiser James were as many as possible for him They are close.

He wanted everything to happen around him, but not at all in order to build his legacy as the first star of the champion team (as you might think). He missed the first playoffs of Boston, and defiantly did not appear in the seventh match of the finals of the East.Almost demanded a trade to the Knicks after his grandfather's death early the following season, and then finally broke the Celtics when he blew Hayward for passing not to him, but to Tatum in the end of the game with Orlando. The young Celtics did not accept the new leader's passive-aggressive style, which only added to the team's nervousness, so he decided that it was a waste of time to mess with unworthy students.

It was then that Irving gained absolute freedom – mainly from the opinions of people who prevent him from being happy.

His Brooklyn career is even further away from the Cleveland heights. In fact, it is generally quite far from any basketball. For the past three years, Irving has been the last player in the NBA. First, he is much more: a radical BLM supporter who tried to derail the continuation of the season in a bubble; a Native American culture aficionado who performs ceremonies to cleanse a Boston arena of evil spirits with sage; a Muslim zealously fasting; the chief anti-vaxxer in New York, because of the infringement of which crowds of supporters gather; and in general a person who advocates for freedom in all aspects of life.

In English, this is denoted by the word “entitled”, that is, a person who is sincerely convinced that he knows the answers to all questions and can solve any problem, and perceives any failures as an unfortunate set of circumstances. His legacy on the court during this period is a few tough playoff games that can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And the same inexplicable self-confidence: Irving is both a general manager, and a coach, and a superstar no worse than Durant.

According to conspiracy theories, Irving should have been (and is) one of the top 75 players in NBA history. His name seemed to be on the final list, but then disappeared from there after he initiated an anti-vaccination crusade.

However, there is nothing in the very summary of his career that hinted at the necessity of his presence there.Irving spent most of his career on top teams with a few stars around him, but he didn't try very hard to translate that time into anything other than banknotes. He has only three hits in the symbolic fives. Every time an injury doesn't stop him, he stops himself. The exception is the period with James. But the entire stretch after parting with LeBron hints that in Cleveland, after the matches, he locked him in his basement and punished him every time Irving lost his rhythm and played not for the team, but for himself.

Irving is behind the greatest hit in recent league history, but has he done more for basketball than regular-season busting Russell Westbrook, dragging Damian Lillard to one of his team, or Anthony Davis winning the Lakers title for LeBron? When did he overcome himself, showed a champion character, pulled out on his teeth?

The most amusing thing is this: one would think that Irving seemed to be uninterested in basketball. But that's not the case at all.
