Owen and Uncle Drew
Uncle Drew, who is rumored to have been a legend in the American street basketball community, had gorgeous dribbling, sharp breakthroughs, a windy mid-range shot, a stable three-point projection, and a dunk, which was the epitome of street basketball in that era. Speaking of the origin of the character of Unconscious Drew, Owen said that the character actually originated from a character in a network video.
Regarding Owen's interpretation of Uncle Drew's origin in the film "Uncle Drew", when he saw a video about skateboarding, a passerby grandfather walked into the skate park, and after a show of skill, he left the scene domineeringly, and everyone present was stunned. Inspired by this impressive grandfather, Owen proposed to dress up as an old man in the Pepsi advertisement and then play with unsuspecting passers-by, showing his skills by first suppressing and then raising. Regarding the name uncle drew, it is derived from Owen's own name, Owen's full name is Kyrie andrew irving, Owen takes the middle name andrew in the name, many people in the United States call it Andrew, but many times it is referred to asDrew for simplification, and the origin of uncle drew is like this. The style shown by Uncle Drew also reflects Owen's style of ball skills and his personality to a considerable extent.
Owen and Iverson
Iverson, the NBA's flagship figure, whether it is skill or personal achievement, Irving is not as good as Iverson, there is no doubt about it. Iverson wears shoes like 182, but won four scoring kings, Irving is 191 in height, so far there is no scoring king, if pure theory of scoring difficulty Iverson is higher than Irving. But they still have similarities in them, and the styles are closer, such as gorgeous techniques, the texture of each action.
Strictly speaking, Irving does have differences with AI's playing style, the difference in style is that it is the same outstanding breakthrough, Irving is more reflected in the rhythm and skill, and Iverson is more of an instantaneous explosiveness, that kind of blood-pumping speed and explosiveness If Irving's center of gravity is low enough, Iverson is lower than Owen, to say that Irving is better than Iverson may be to have a championship.
Owen and Curry
The media and fans often compare Curry with Irving, and look at the data of two people in terms of talent, Curry: 190.5cm, 85kg, No. 7 pick. Owen: 188cm, 88kg, champion. The style of playing: Irving's offense is full of physical confrontation, and the delicacy of the action is stronger; Curry's three-pointer is too accurate, there is not so much confrontation on the offense, and it is often a wave that takes away the rhythm of the game, which belongs to another viewing dimension. But Curry's personal comprehensive ability and personal achievements are above Irving, but in comparison, Irving's "fancy" riot operation is more attractive to watch. Some people will think that Owen is stronger than Curry, some people will think that Curry is stronger than Owen, this is about the topic of turnips and greens have their own love, see people see wisdom.
Owen and the current sister-in-law
Starting from paying attention to Irving, watching his playing posture, dribbling, shooting or dunking, it is easy to think of this and the head of a basketball team in a sports college in our school is very similar, and it is like a feeling here, just like this kind of professionally trained athlete, the rationality and stability of each action are very exquisite.
When we go to college, we can find that basketball students are very easy to get favored by girls if they perform well in a game. Young and energetic girls with sunny and cheerful big boys in the college campus envy others, Owen and Sister-in-law is such a combination, Sister-in-law Wen's appearance is sweet and lovely, but also the most beautiful in black people, how can Irving's sunshine man let go?
Owen is now a dad of two.
Owen and James
Some people describe Irving's relationship with James as love and killing each other, and water and fire are intolerable. In fact, the two of them are prone to conflict or disagreement in personality and playing style, with Irving's arrogant personality, he is not willing to become James's background, he has his own values and judgments, Irving is used to holding the ball, used to rely on his own personal ability to score, and James is the absolute core of the team, has super personal ability, can connect the team's various scoring points, but also organize the team's defensive attack, the most important thing is that James also needs to have the ball in hand, which has a certain degree of sacrifice for Irving. Irving wants to win games through his own defense, and James wants to, but not in the way Irving is a fighter, because James has lost many times before Irving entered the league.
After James returned to the Cavaliers, Irving changed from the team boss to the second oldest, and his heart may be a little depressed. James returned to the Cavaliers for an interview saying he was willing to help Irving grow like a mentor, while Irving said: "I'm the point guard of this team, I have to guide the team's offense, lead the defense, I want to continue to be myself." "At that time, you can see the conflict between the ideas of the two people.
Irving didn't want to grow up with James, so leaving James's Cavaliers became his firm choice. In 2017, Irving applied for a deal to go to the Celtics, and then because of Irving's evaluation of James, the relationship between the two people was inseparable, and in the middle of the social platform, the two people no longer had much connection.
"I was selected here, there are some good puzzle pieces, that's where I came to the Cavaliers, we're the bottom team and we have to go upstream." It was Irving's situation on the team and his thoughts about the Cavaliers before James returned to the Cavaliers. "When LeBron came back in my fourth year after the heat was booming, he came, Lofour came, and we got together that year and everything felt like a whole new one."
"Every day around good people can benefit, you can watch LeBron, look at Lefour, look at myself, look at tt, look at a certain stage of JR, we were really strong then. When we are cohesive, we play the right way, when something goes wrong, we are trying to overcome it, we are using our talents. We know we have great chances to win in every game we go into. ”
This is something Owen and James said about cavaliers and their thoughts about James during their time as a cavalier. They seemed fine at the time, but Owen didn't seem to have accepted James in his heart.
After leaving the Cavaliers, james Irving didn't have much interaction for more than four years.
Owen and Kobe Bryant
Bryant's first friendship with Owen was revealed
The 12-year training camp of the U.S. men's basketball team was an opportunity for the stars to exchange feelings, when Irving, the best rookie and the new owner of the Cavaliers, found Kobe Bryant, offered to go head-to-head with Kobe, and set a $50,000 bet to help. The entire video from the bootcamp shows Owen's love for Kobe bryant and the cute side of Owen, where they forged a friendship.
Bryant died suddenly
Shortly after Bryant's crash, Irving missed the Nets' game against the Knicks in memory of Kobe. Owen said of the day: "I didn't even have the slightest desire to play on Sunday" "It was heartbreaking, and it still is. In this year and a half, you have lost two of the great leaders of your life (Owen's grandfather also died that year), and it is not easy to turn this page and quickly change your emotions. ”
In 2016, when Irving helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win the NBA championship, he video-called Kobe bryant in the locker room and thanked him for the advice he had given him throughout the playoffs.
Owen said: "He had that mentorship relationship with me, I could ask him almost anything, no matter how nervous or scared I was, he left a lot of teachings." I saw what he was building, and I wanted the same thing. He was maverick, had his own belief system, and had his own code of life. He didn't care what people said at all. ”
The NBA teams mourn Bryant in their own way. The Nets mourned 24 seconds of silence for Kobe Bryant and eight other victims before a game against the Pistons. The Nets' two empty seats on the sidelines are where Bryant and his daughter Gianna sit.
Atkinson, who was the Nets head coach at the time, said he enjoyed coaching Irving because of his authentic personality and ability to accurately express his ideas.
Atkinson said: "He was pure, honest, not afraid to cry, he was completely real. This can get us in trouble at times, but I like that with him. He never flinched. He would tell me how he felt. I'll get along better with people with this personality than people who don't talk to you. I love that personality. This is also an evaluation of Owen's character by the people around Owen.
For Kobe, Owen left such a sentence. "He left behind a lot of great things for us to follow,"
Owen said: "I will continue to hold high his torch. ”
