On January 3, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, Nets star Irving updated his social media with 3 photos and 4 feeds. One of the photos that stands out from each other is of the late NBA star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi.
In this photo, Kobe Bryant in the No. 24 jersey sits on the left, and Gigi in the No. 2 jersey sits on the right, and the photo also reads: "Mamba Eternity". As we all know, Kobe Bryant has always been Irving's idol, and even the person who led him into the NBA. When Bryant died, Owen was in great pain. Compared to other photos posted by Owen, this one is clearly more popular, with about 10 times as many likes as other photos.
The other photos posted by Owen are still strong Irving's style, including both human rights struggles and his personal religious beliefs, as well as the promotion of his girlfriend's clothing brand. It is worth mentioning that Irving was diagnosed with the new crown not long ago, and then he did not update his social media for a week, but recently with the lifting of the quarantine, Irving has become active again.
Nets coach Nash said in an interview yesterday: "He looks very good and he is close to a comeback. We have to give him enough time to get back in shape and he's making a comeback, but we have to make sure we don't make hasty decisions, he's back soon!
The Nets currently have a record of 23 wins and 11 losses, ranking second in the East. According to previous reports, Irving has agreed with the Nets that he will be able to play in the Nets' away games, and will return as soon as Jan. 6 against the Pacers.
