Kyrie Irving Responds To ESPN Report: ‘Human Beings Have Mood Swings’

Kyrie Irving has made headlines this week, but not for the greatest of reasons.

The Brooklyn Nets guard reportedly was having “mood swings” that made the team “queasy,” per a report from ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan.

The report likely came as a surprise to no one, considering how Irving’s tenure with the Boston Celtics went.

But after Brooklyn’s 118-108 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, Irving responded to the comments about him that have surfaced.

“That’s the world we live in … people only know a certain percentage of me,” he said per Nets Daily’s Anthony Puccio. “Human beings have mood swings. … I don’t have to be perfect for anybody here or for the public.”

While no one is painting Irving as a perfect human being, it must be a bit unsettling for Nets fans that this kind of drama already is swirling so early into the NBA season.
