Kyrie Irving only plays with the media when it works for him

Until now, I have taken the middle road in my analysis of former-Celtic, Kyrie Irving. I just left that road.

If Kyrie continues on this path, wanting his way with teammates, coaches and media, he will never be content in any venue, including the one (Brooklyn) he's in now. He played with the media when it worked for him, but now he says, "No". https://t.co/poa39LyLv9

Yes, I played Irving's game shortly after his arrival in Boston. I wrote about his "Flat Earth Theory", hoping that he was toying with the media to gain attention. And I had no issue with that.

Even when he chose to depart Boston as a free agent, I viewed, and wrote, that the inner-team turmoil that existed was on a number of participants, not simply just Irving. What I din't like, when he was in Boston, was his on-court explosion at Gordon Hayward for not passing him the ball on an inbounds play.

Now Kyrie Irving has been fined $25.000 for not being available to the media. Why not? The possibility of some questions about him possibly being traded to the Rockets for James Harden? Innocuous questions about his injuries and fit with new teammate, Kevin Durant?

Kyrie will never be content in any venue in which he performs until he realizes that it is not all about him. He is an adult. He can't choose to interact with the media only when it suits him. And he can't belittle teammates when in the limelight. When Kyrie joined the Celtics, I truly felt it would work. It didn't. As I wrote in my previous article, "Nothing is ever what it appears to be."

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik
