Kyrie Irving as a crusader for change, is well-documented, and when he’s not draining shots at the Drew League, the Dallas Mavericks point guard has been sharing his views on the treatment of the Black Community.
Earlier, the 31-year-old took to Instagram to share a story of how Muhammad Ali once famously asked for the Black community in America to have their own state. He didn’t want to live amidst a society that was subjected to racism and unjust, unequal treatment.
And Irving shared his two cents on how the move would be a good one and would help the community be more autonomous. You can view his take on Ali’s thoughts below:

This isn’t the first time that Irving has voiced for his community, and that makes him more than just an athlete with an NBA championship to his name. He has been staunch in his support and has always used social media as a platform to make his feelings clear, even if it has sometimes not worked in his favor.
Surely, this will portray him in a new light and even earn newfound respect from his fans, who have always appreciated his sentiments about the Black community. What’s also assured, though, is that Irving will continue to be a voice and that’s not going to stop even if he does one day call time on his decorated career.
Kyrie Irving Gives It Back To The Community
In what comes as a true example of how actions need to be backed with the words spoken, Kyrie Irving has always been one of the athletes doing good for his community and society in general.
Quite recently, the Dallas superstar donated $40,000 to an old lady from South Carolina.
“The Dallas Mavericks’ guard Kyrie Irving has donated $40,000 to a 93-year-old South Carolina woman in her legal battle to protect her family home from an encroaching developer,” per Daily Mail US.
“Josephine Wright, a long-time resident of South Carolina’s picturesque Hilton Head Island, is being sued by Bailey Point Investment Group for allegedly blocking the developer’s progress on a 147-unit complex next to her property – a 1.8-acre plot that was first settled by escaped slaves and has remained in her family since the Civil War. Wright inherited the land in 2012 from her late husband.”
This is quite the generosity from Irving, and he’s a benefactor for the community. Clearly, this shows he cares about what he’s doing for social change, and that just adds more respect to his name.
