Tamika Tremaglio, the new executive director of the NBA’s players association, talked with HowardBeck about Kyrie Irving’s clash with Celtics fans
It remains unclear what the Celtics fans said to provoke Irving last Sunday. But his overt gestures made clear how much it upset him.
“Under normal circumstances, certainly Kyrie would have wanted to do something differently,” Tremaglio said. “But I think it pushed him to his breaking point.” She said the scene “was really difficult to watch,” and showed “how commercialized our players have become. We forget that they are truly human beings, that they are experiencing the same things that each and every one of us is experiencing on a daily basis.”
Tremaglio, who spoke with Irving during the week, said he “is saddened by the experience that he had. But we also have an onus to make sure that things like that do not continue to happen.” Other topics discussed during the podcast include the NBA’s age limit, the length of the schedule, the union’s role in increasing player wealth and the upcoming labor negotiations.
