Ahead of the aborted reunion with his former team, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving finds himself at the nexus of several popular narratives circulating in the NBA and especially Boston Celtics media sphere. The Nets have struggled early while Boston has exceeded expectations in Kyrie's absence; to what extent is his presence (or lack thereof) responsible? Is he hard to get along with?
