NBA superstar point guard Kyrie Irving objected to a social media post and headline that described former teammate James Harden as “disgruntled” with the Philadelphia 76ers
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving reacted angrily to a tweet from NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski that called Philadelphia 76ers wantaway James Harden “disgruntled.” Irving has sided with Harden, his former teammate, in the star’s intense dispute with his team.
Irving took aim after an article was posted on social media that carried the headline, “Disgruntled Harden calls 76ers prez Morey a ‘liar.'” The story referred to the feud between Harden and 76ers president Daryl Morey.
In response, Irving wrote, “Is he Disgruntled Adrian?? Or is he holding Darryl Morey [sic] accountable for his dishonesty and lack of transparency throughout the contract negotiation process this summer?”
Harden requested a trade earlier this summer and has vowed never to play for the 76ers again after Morey said he could keep him in Philadelphia. And it is clear that Irving is backing the stance of his former teammate.
