LeBron James is undoubtedly the most prominent figure in the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers. After winning the championship in 2016, Kyrie Irving is also another notable name in the history of the team. He couldn't have had the same status as LeBron, but there's no denying that everything Kyrie did for Cleveland should be considered unprecedented greatness.
Now, Darius Garland wants to raise the torch in place of LeBron and Owen. The 22-year-old is now the cornerstone star of the Cavaliers, and team management hopes he stays in the city for a long time. However, it turns out that Garland had no intention of taking the exact same path as LeBron or Kyrie had etched their names in the history books. According to the All-Star point guard, he's happy to blaze his own trail:
"I never really thought about it," Garland said, asked how he felt he felt about how he felt like he was the biggest Cavaliers of GQ Tyler R. Tynes after LeBron and Irving left. "I try to stay where I am and try to exercise myself. I try to get better. I try to make this team better. I try to make this organization better. I work hard to exercise myself. Those guys are real legends of Cleveland and the NBA, so everyone respects them, but I'm just working on my team and myself right now. I talked to Bronn and Kentucky after the game, but never really talked about Cleveland. ”
Cavaliers fans must respect Garland because he has chosen his own path. No one can fill the void left by LeBron and it's hard to be the "next" Kyrie Irving. In his opinion, the young man wanted to be the first Daliuas Garland.
