Joe Vardon, now of The Athletic, was on hand for some of the great moments of Kyrie Irving’s career including what is arguably the greatest Game 7 dagger in NBA Finals history, a 3-pointer from the right wing that dispatched the winningest team ever to the trashbin of history.
He’s also reported on everything Kyrie from his promotion of the “earth is flat” conspiracy theory, which he first broached on a podcast while in Cleveland, to his trade to the Celtics and the reasons behind it — mostly a resentment of all the attention paid LeBron James and a desire to win it all on his own terms.
