‘Can’t be trusted’: Stephen A goes on epic rant against Kyrie Irving

Many-a-time, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith has expressed his disbelief over how disinterested Kyrie Irving has been during the off-season. The starlet believes in something, and refuses to change his stance on it. While has has received the utmost support from his teammates like Durant and Harden, Smith is having none of it. “I have complaining about Kyrie Irving’s commitment and I will validate it,” claimed the 54-year-old.

On ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A told Jay Williams how untrustworthy he considers the 7-time All-star. “KD signed his extension right? KD signed his extension. James Harden has an extension that he can sign anytime he wants to. There was $196 million on the table for Kyrie Irving.” Smith was complaining about Kyrie using his privilege to play when he wants to. “You think that $196 million is gonna be available in January? You’re damn right it ain’t. And why? Not because of this, because there’s a history that he can’t be trusted.”
