Shannon Sharp is unhappy with Keri Irving’s actions with the Brooklyn Nets

Keri Irving isn’t the only unhappy coach at the start of the NBA season.

Irving, as you’ve probably heard, missed it Last week’s games In the aftermath of riots in Washington, DC. But it is unclear if last week’s events were the catalyst for his absence, especially after Irving was seen celebrating while on vacation.

Shannon Sharp, however, is unhappy with Irving’s latest antics. The former NFL star allowed him to have it during the Wednesday episode of “Undefeated” on FS1.

“If I’m his team-mates, I’m excited. If I’m the curling, I’m more nervous.” Let me take that back – if I’m a teammate, I’m off. The nets shouldn’t be marked because they knew what they were getting. They knew he was moody. They knew it was mercurial. And they knew he had these fits, and people said, Kerry would be fine one day and then he’d go a month or two without talking to anyone. So, you know exactly what you are getting. “

This, Sharp pointed out, is what some teams call “production intolerance”. Players who set great numbers will influence the team’s tolerance for their behavior throughout the season, regardless of the situation.

So, Sharp offered a harsh answer to Irving’s situation.

“My thing is skipping – and I’ve always said this – whatever Keri might or might not be dealing with, deal with it. Sharp said.” But just as he sends a text message to his teammates, or calls his colleagues and says he didn’t show up, he should have He should do that with the Nets. He should have done it with Steve Nash. He should have given Shawn Marx exactly that compliment. But he did tell Steve Nash what he thought of him when he said, “We don’t need a coach.” The level of disrespect is really there on behalf of this. … Keri Irving does not see Nash as equal, even though he won the best player in the game. It was disrespectful for him to say so outright anyway.

“And then during the game, you want to do a conference call about someone who works at the DA desk? Really? Really? And everyone says, Oh man, he’s dealing with (things). Okay? Deal with.”

“The blatant level of disrespect that Kyrie Irving showed to his teammates and to this organization, but I don’t even feel bad because the Nets were willing to sign this because it means they were also getting Kevin Durant. I think if they could have had Kevin Durant without Keri They would’ve died. But it was an all-out deal, skip. When they say you get two for one and you can’t buy these items separately – you have to buy both even though you only want one – and that’s what they had to do. They buy both items despite Than they only want one.

“Keri Irving, no matter how he passes, I wish him the best. Hope everything is okay. But there is a level of disrespect that I show and he’s very unprofessional. And it was like this … I don’t know who was wrong, but it was someone else’s fault. Kerry is in Boston, so he’s now in Brooklyn, where he wants to be. Now I want to know who’s wrong this is is being. Kerry needs to deal with what he’s doing, but Keri needs to maintain a level of professionalism. No matter what you are going through, you must be a professional at all times because you are in a professional environment. “

Time will determine how Irving responds in court.
