A little like Jayson Tatum, which we recently revised Ballon in hand to chain the training sessions and continue to advance in the right path after his break in Achilles tendon, fans of the Mavs were able Kyrie Irving at work. The leader of Dallas was indeed seen taking shots, and it was nevertheless necessary for the media machine to get carried away, to hope for a premature return of the player who is however still far from being 100% again after his rupture of a cruciate ligament of the knee contracted in March.
Jason Kidd therefore took advantage of the Media Day of the Texan franchise to calm the ambient euphoria, recalling that it was not helping the player than hoping for his return earlier than expected.
“Can we simply refrain from saying that he is” in advance on the calendar “because we see him taking shots?”,, he annoyed himself. “This is bad information. I simply give you the answer to the assessments. It is doing pretty well, as we can see, but it is not ahead, so let's not say that. It is unfair to him and for MAVs, because it is not true. Is it in times? It seems that yes”.
No perfect “timing”
Affirming that Kyrie Irving is on time, without a chronology to have been established, and for good reason, Jason Kidd is skillful … Since giving a specific date would add unnecessary weight and pressure on the player's shoulders. The most important thing at this stage is that the leader is advancing every day in the right direction while keeping morale at the beautiful, which seems to be the case, as the interested party confirmed a few minutes after J-Kidd's visit to the gallery.
“I am on time guys”,, he launched With a smile, in turn refusing to set a date for a possible return. “I prefer to leave things as they are, play every day and push my limits to the maximum”.
Kyrie Irving revealed to draw her strength from what Damian Lillard called everyday “little victories”, and also through the tests that the other superstars of the league cross like him, be it Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton or former players also passed by.
“Emotionally, these are the roller coaster, just because there are good days, where you are progressing, and others where you want to push your body up to a certain limit, and that you cannot. I had to go through there, but it has been a good experience so far, since I have been able to get in touch with other players who have undergone a similar injury or big traumas”he added. “Some go through the same healing path as me. We have seen some stars injured in this way and put an end to their seasons, which has affected their teams a lot. We always pray for each other, we support each other, we show our progress. I think everyone tries to prove that he is a bit like an alien or healing like Wolverine if I can say. That there is no perfect timing, not to compare yourself with others, and to have fun in this process, which I did ”.
