On December 3, Beijing time, basketball star Owen lived again on social media. This time he published some photos of black people. It seems that Irving is increasingly not wanting to be a basketball player.
The season has come to this stage and Irving still has no news of his return. Owen has recently published a lot of content on his social issues, but none of them have anything to do with basketball, making it difficult for fans to understand. Durant, Harden and the Nets are playing against their opponents on the court, but Irving is doing what he wants off the court. This is hardly a reflection of professionalism.
Before this year's vaccine storm, Irving's off-site wind rating was still quite good. He is a very thoughtful basketball player, often speaking out for his own group, and often participating in some social activities. We also donated a stadium for China before, and this kind of behavior deserves our respect. But Irving should understand one thing, he's a basketball player, he should put his main business and energy on the basketball court, that's the most important thing. However, Owen, like his nickname Eugene, no longer focuses on the court and sends something that has nothing to do with basketball. We don't know what Owen is thinking, what is the purpose of his social media?
If we look at Irving's entire career, his behavior is actually traceable. Owen's career has almost reached a stage of no desire. In 2016, Irving and James won the only championship in Cavaliers history. Owen was instrumental in that year. The Cavaliers would not have won the championship without his output, and Irving's three-pointer against Curry is regarded as a classic.
So Owen was always a little arrogant, and he didn't care what others said about him. He only needs to play according to his favorite routine, and Irving can ignore the defense and cut points when he is in hot form. His offensive skills have been recognized by most of the league. Although Irving has not won the regular season MVP, he has not won the scoring champion. But Irving is one of the best in history in terms of singles and dribbling ability. Irving sometimes plays very generously, some people say that Irving is too selfish and does not like to pass, in fact, Irving can play without the ball on the court. He's willing to hand over the ball so he can live in harmony with Harden and Durant.
Why did Irving come to the Nets at the time? A big reason is to play with their good friend Durant, but basketball players like Irving, they always have their own unique values, they have their own unique ideas. Therefore, after the outbreak of the epidemic, they are still adhering to their own ideas and values, and this is how the differences occur. Owen clearly chose the latter in front of the team and the individual, and he wanted to stick to his values. We can't say that what Owen did was necessarily wrong, it was more of a personal choice.
The championship is in hand, has received countless praise from fans, and has taken countless dollars. Irving really has no desire at this stage, and he doesn't care about playing or not playing this season. Irving may not play a single game this season unless he is traded by the Nets. Looking at Irving's social media in recent times, should the Nets management do it? It's really too late not to trade Owen.
However, how many teams in the NBA will be willing to accept Irving? That's the problem. If Irving doesn't play a game this season and the Nets don't win the NBA championship, I'm afraid the Nets will fall apart. There could also be a rift in Durant's relationship with Irving, a lose-lose deal. When will Owen change his mind? Who can awaken the sleeping Ouyang Immortals? These problems are all in front of people's eyes.
We can only hope that Irving will return to the game as soon as possible, after all, he is a basketball player. He needs to be professional. Competing with the team for the championship is the most important thing at this stage. Dear officials, do you think Irving will return this season?
