Before this season, I never realized how oddly quotable Kyrie Irving can be. From being “reality based” to “very much woke,” he’s delivered some wonderful one-liners and some head scratching soliloquies.
His latest is actually a quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
Kyrie Irving with a wisdom bomb: "Man, comparison's a thief of joy."
He was asked if he could have made all the same passes last year or before.
Went on to say, "It's kind of hard to compare it because I feel like my role was probably a little different last year in Cleveland"— Jay King (@ByJayKing) November 29, 2017It occurred to me that part of the fun of Kyrie is that he inserts seemingly incongruent words into phrases that oddly fit together like a lovely mosaic.
