‘What Has Kyrie Achieved Without LeBron’: Warriors’ Andre Iguodala Shut Down by Fans After Outrageous Kyrie Irving Take

With the National Basketball Association celebrating its 75th anniversary this season, it will follow tradition as well. Back in 1996, when they had completed 50 years, they took out a list of the top 50 players in the league’s history. This won’t be any different as the league has planned to do the same with 75 names this time. However, to maintain some mystery, the names are being announced in parts. And to Andre Iguodala’s surprise, Kyrie Irving is nowhere to be seen on it, but that’s not how the fans feel.

Fans disagree with Andre Iguodala’s comment on Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving isn’t a stranger to making headlines. Unfortunately, it is almost always for his controversial statements and behavior. Right now, the Brooklyn Nets star is already facing criticism because of his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine. And the consequences of these actions have to be faced by the franchise, who will not have their entire ‘Big Three’, once again.

Fans have been waiting to see the James Harden, Kyrie, and Kevin Durant trio wreak havoc on the court. But that could be a while before it happens. Till then, Irving has once again, found himself in another debate altogether. With the top 75 list coming out in breaks, the first 25 were released on Tuesday, the next 25 on Wednesday, but the remaining 25 will come out on Thursday.

Even before that, Iguodala is visibly upset over Irving’s name not being mentioned in it. He wrote on Twitter, “So y’all saying Kyrie Irving ain’t top 75? I agree… he top 20 at least…”. However, most fans did not hold the same opinion and angrily responded to the Tweet as well.

So y’all saying @KyrieIrving ain’t top 75? I agree… he top 20 at least…

He’s not too 100 lmao. What has dude done outside of Bron?

No one cares about your list.
With that logic, Jamal Crawford has “skills” [which you mean DRIBBLING skills] that none of the top 75 have.
I guess that means Jamal Crawford should be listed in the top 75 right?
Good logic.
Kyrie has made 1 all nba team in his entire career. no.

Should the Brooklyn Nets star have any hope?

Other than making the championship-winning shot during the 2016 NBA Finals, Kyrie’s legacy doesn’t hold a candle to any of the legends whose names have been added to the list. Moreover, his turbulent behavior does not help his case, either.

An unwillingness to cooperate with the league’s health and safety protocols will only lessen his chances to be in the top 75 and missing a season, even more. Do you side with Iguodala? Or the plethora of fans who feel otherwise?
