Once again not very successful during Game 5 against the Celtics, Kyrie Irving said goodbye to his title dreams this Monday. A good player in defeat when leaving the floor, he nevertheless suffered ridicule from Internet users for this reason.
19.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 41.4% shooting, 27.6% at 3 points: these are the poor averages with which Kyrie Irving finished the 2024 Finals.
Still very clumsy this Monday during Game 5 (5/16 shooting , 15 points), the rear star of the Mavericks was therefore unable to avoid the coronation of the Celtics.
Fair play, he nevertheless made a point of greeting his opponents when joining the bench at the end of the 4th quarter:
Kyrie Irving victim of a murderous comparison with LeBron
A former Boston player, Irving left the franchise in a stormy context in 2019.
This did not prevent him from congratulating his ex-teammates as well as the C’s staff for the title which was reaching out to them.
A scene which made the rounds on social networks and led to numerous reactions. Because when some praised this initiative, others scathingly compared it to a similar old sequence:
Kyrie thought he was LeBron in 2018 MDRRRRRR stop checking and go sit on the bench dude
Like Kyrie in recent hours, LeBron James had indeed taken the time to congratulate the Warriors before the end of the 2018 Finals.
On the other hand, the King did not have much to reproach himself for in terms of individual, he who averaged 34.0 points (52.7% shooting), 8.5 rebounds and 10.0 assists in the series.
Enough to further justify his heroic exit compared to that of Uncle Drew according to Internet users:
As LeBron James did in 2018, Kyrie Irving decided to heal his exit from the NBA Finals by congratulating his tormentors. However, for some, he would have done better to remain discreet given his performances which were much less sparkling than those of the King.
