In addition, Irving on the sidelines is also an expert in the whole life, creating a lot of topics.
Every NBA star has their own anecdotes or anecdotes, and Kyrie Irving is no exception. In this article, I'll select ten anecdotes about Kyrie Owen that aren't necessarily well known so that fans interested in him can get to know him more fully. Of course, due to the limitations of space, if there is any supplement or discussion, you are naturally welcome to leave a message in the comment area to share.
First, about Owen's family
Owen was born in Melbourne, Australia, the son of a former NCAA player and professional basketball player Dredrick Owen who plays in Australia. Owen's mother died when he was four years old, and since then he has lived with his father Owen Sr., his sister Aisha, and he fell in love with basketball under his father's guidance.
Second, about Owen's most proud head-to-head
Irving is a head-to-head player on the basketball court, with near-indiscriminate singles ability. However, when asked by reporters about what he thought was the most brilliant 1v1 head-to-head, Owen recalled that it was the one when he and his father won a big victory. At the time, 16-year-old Owen singled out his 42-year-old father. As a result, Irving swept his father easily 15-0, a day when he completely surpassed his father's mark node.
Irving is the son of former NBA assist king Rod Strickland
In the NBA for 15 years, Rod Strickland has played for the Knicks, Kings, Blazers, Wizards, Heat and other NBA teams, averaging 13.2 points, 7.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, averaging about 18 points and 9 assists per game in his heyday, personally selected for the second team once, won an assist of the year, and is a typical point guard representative who is stronger than famous.
Rod Strickland and Owen's father, Dredrick, were younger and younger, so it was logical that Rod Strickland became Owen's godfather. On the road of basketball, he provided a lot of guidance to this righteous son, and was one of the enlightenment teachers. Irving also lived up to his teachings, surpassing Rod Strickland early in his NBA career achievements.
Fourth, Owen has been on the cover of both the 2K series and the live series basketball video games
Back in 2013, EA officially announced Irving as the cover character for NBA Live 14. Four years later, in 2017, Irving became the cover character of NBA 2K18. As a result, Irving became one of the few NBA stars who has been a cover character in both of the most famous basketball series.
Owen had a habit of keeping a diary
Owen is a delicate person and has loved to read since childhood. To this day, he still retains the habit of keeping a diary. It is precisely because he is willing to talk to himself that Irving will become the NBA "philosopher" in the hearts of fans.
Owen's philanthropy covers Pakistan
Irving is passionate about philanthropy, once paying salaries to WNBA players who have no income from the epidemic, and is also committed to donating supplies to food banks to help the poor to ensure food and clothing. Irving's philanthropy is not limited to the United States, and many NBA fans know that Owen built basketball courts for our children in the mountains of Guizhou, China.
In fact, Owen's philanthropy covers Pakistan. In Pakistan's Sindh province, Owen and his foundation established the Pani Solar Center, which solved the problem of water and energy lighting in a large village. As an American, it is quite rare to be able to do charity in Pakistan.
Owen is a vegetarian
Since 2017, Owen has become a vegetarian. After switching to a vegetarian diet, Owen claimed that his energy had risen and he began to become closer to himself. If you only measure it from the performance on the court, after eating vegetarian, Irving's performance is even higher, which is really amazing.
VIII. The Declaration on The Horizon and the Intention Behind It
Back in February 2017, Owen spoke amazingly, insisting that "the earth is flat" in the guest blog program, which triggered a wave of public opinion, and The European text people once became a funny figure in the mouth of fans because of their amazing words, and the outside world jokingly called him "Diping Brother".
After the fermentation of the incident, Owen made an explanation, in fact, the intention of the "horizon theory" is to hope that everyone will think about the problem from many perspectives. In addition, he also explained what repercussions would be caused by the "Horizon Theory" coming out of his mouth, as if it were a social realization.
IX. Owen was once green
Since his debut, Owen has been in the sea of love, passing on a lot of gossip or romance, targeting most models or singers. Back in early 2016, Owen was in a relationship with R&B singer-songwriter Colanie.
However, during Owen's drag with Colanie, another rapper from Canada posted a photo of himself holding hands with Colanie on social media and wrote provocative words: After all her pranks, I let the R&B singer go back to bed.
The relevant posts caused an uproar in public opinion, and the entry that Irving was played or Irving was green also appeared on the national hot search, making the Streets of North America known. Subsequently, Owen also broke off contact with Colanie.
10. Regarding Irving's incumbency
The experience of being green made Owen low for a while, and also insulated him from the scandal for a while. However, since falling in love with fitness blogger Marlene Wilkerson in 2019, Owen has believed in love again. The two are now engaged, and Marlene Wilkerson is pregnant with Owen's child. Incidentally, Owen's fiancée, Marlene, looks a lot like Vanessa, the widow of his idol Kobe.
