Kyrie Irving has been going off on the things, and people he thinks are damaging the game of basketball.
Added to the people who think he’s toxic no matter where he goes, the point guard went off on gamblers and sports bettors for ruining the fun part of the game.
“Gambling and sports betting have completely taken the purity and the fun away from the game at times. I’m gonna just be honest with y’all… There’s a difference between being a diehard fan & supporting your team & loving your team vs somebody that’s betting on a parlay or somebody that wants to hit… God dang, like this whole community of gamblers that’s coming to the game of basketball.”
Kyrie takes offense with the people that aren’t very familiar with the game and try to make some money betting on games or certain players that sometimes miss the goal.
“Why don’t you gamble on something that makes sense to you?… I’m just saying you gambling, you going to win or lose. But that doesn’t mean sliding into people’s DMs or wishing bad on them or doing the extra shit that goes on, man. It blows my mind sometimes. You feel me?”

This is a solid point from Irving, who is a real hooper and just wants to have fun with the game. At the end of the day, this is a personal decision, and whoever wants to bet, it’s free to do it, but once you lose your bet, don’t get off on players.
NBA Fans Harass Players Whenever They Lose A Bet
We’ve seen many fans reacting in a bad way whenever they lose a bet. The most recent case happened to Terry Rozier, who didn’t hold back and roasted one fan who lost a parlay that included the Charlotte Hornets player. Kevin Durant also starred in a similar moment last year, just like Jordan Poole.
This has become a serious thing for several people around the league, but it’s pretty clear that players don’t care about fans’ bets, and if they can mess them, they’ll do it.
Kyrie has told what many probably think, and it’s good to see somebody taking a step and going against the people who only see the game as a way to make money.
