Kyrie Irving quietly makes $22,000 donation to student's college fund
Kyrie Irving is famous for a lot of things but it’s often the quiet things he does that don’t make the headlines that can make things better: buying a new home for George Floyd’s family in Texas, financing the construction of water filtration plant in an arid quarter of Pakistan or meeting in the belly of NBA arenas with the families of soldiers who have fallen in combat.

What NBA awards will be named after today’s greats 30 years from now?
Dumb answers only. Like, the James Harden Award for the player who most needs to play his way into shape or the Kyrie Irving Award for the player who most hates being in the NBA. – 3:58 PM

Dear Elders/Mentors:
Please Sit with the Youth and share your wisdom/lessons. They cannot know where they’re going if they do not know where they come from. Share the TRUTH about all of our revolutionary ancestors who put their life on the line for our Freedom.

Kyrie Irving is staying out of headlines and leading by example on the court. Kevin Durant takes notice of Brooklyn’s gritty win in Indiana. Jacque Vaughn drawing praise.

Kyrie Irving on Brooklyn’s mindset amid recent success:
“Let’s just go win ballgames, that’s really what the attitude is… No more excuses, no more distractions, no more just throwing in these surprise injuries. We just want everybody to be healthy and everybody to have fun.” – 10:43 PM

The vibes are good again around the Nets — and the confidence is building after each win.
Kyrie: “When KD has a grin on his face, that means we’re playing hard. Our leader is happy. And all of us are taking that leadership role as well and controlling what we can control.” – 10:17 PM

That’s four wins in a row and eight of nine for the Nets. They keep taking care of business against bad teams. KD finishes with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Kyrie finishes with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. – 9:17 PM

This has been quite the two-way performance from Kyrie Irving. He’s been the best player on the floor tonight.
Nets lead Wizards by 11 midway through the 3rd. – 8:32 PM

More on this storyline
Now, there’s a new example: Irving quietly donated $22,000 to a Howard University student who without the contribution wouldn’t have been able to continue her studies. A fellow alum of Howard (which is also the alma mater of Vice-President Kamala Harris) noticed the contribution on GoFundMe and tweeted about it Thursday morning… -via NetsDaily / December 15, 2022
The Brooklyn Nets have stabilized after a tumultuous start to the season. Kyrie Irving’s tenure with the Nets may end after this season, but several sources believe the team will ride it out. “The last thing they want is to inspire another [Kevin Durant] trade demand,” one executive said. -via Bleacher Report / December 14, 2022
The guard has averaged 27.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists on 47.9 percent shooting over his last six games. Most importantly, he has stayed out of the headlines and made it a point to keep the focus on basketball. “Let’s just go win ballgames, that’s really what the attitude is,” Irving said following Monday’s win. “No more excuses, more distractions, no more just throwing in these surprise injuries. We just want everybody to be healthy, everybody to have fun and come in and play their game.” -via Clutch Points / December 13, 2022
