kyrie Irving traded to the Celtics

Last night the internet was set on fire once news broke that Kyrie Irving had been traded to the Celtics from Cleveland.

With the trade agreement, The Celtics got Kyrie Irving for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crawford, Ante Zizic, and Brooklyn's 2018 unprotected Draft Pick.

The last couple of months have been rocky with rumors swirling that both Lebron and Kyrie would be making their exit from Cleveland. It was reported that Kyrie wanted to leave Cleveland because he actually wanted to lead a team and not be under Lebrons huge brand. But could the Celtics be the one that lucked out in this deal?

Things were already looking a little shaky for Boston when 11 of their players including, Thomas, Crowder, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, and Amir Johnson from the 2016 - 2017 roster were gone from the team that had a 53 game win last season. But now with new key contributors such as Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Morris and most recently, Kyrie Irving. Now this have fans wondering will this take Boston to the finals?

The new season is gearing up to be a great one with Boston vs Celtics on opening night.

Kyrie Irving announces sneaker inspired by Kobe Bryant

We always knew that Kobe Bryant was some sort of a mentor to a lot of players, but enough to to inspire another players sneaker? Kyrie Irving thinks so.

Earlier today Kyrie Irving took to Instagram to announce one of his newest sneakers colorway is inspired by Bryant himself. Irving describes playing the Nike Extravaganza in California and winning wearing Bryant's Kobe V "Bruce Lee" which released back in 2009. That inspired him to make his own version for his Kyrie 3.

Bruce Lee Edition KYRIE3 @kobebryant inspired and influenced.

The sneaker definitely resembles Bryants 2009 release. The tongue also has a merge between Kobe's and Kyrie's logo with a scar on the fore-footing which definitely is paying homage to Bruce Lee. No word if this will be a world wide release or just something for Kyrie. Check out the pics below and tell us what you think.

Kyrie Irving reportedly wants to be traded

This post NBA season has already had a ton of surprises like with Paul George being traded to the Thunder. But this one — I don't think anyone see coming. Reports are swirling around that Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Caveliers.

Irving reportedly wants to the focus of an team and not to be overshadowed by Lebrons big brand. ESPN's Brian Woodhirst reported that Lebron was "disappointed" in Kyrie's requested to be traded during a meeting with team owner Dan Gilbert.

Irving also told Sports Illustrated on Tuesday

"We just have to, you know, make sure that all our pieces are aligned first, and then we go from there," Irving said. "It's the summertime, a lot of craziness going on in the NBA."

This 2017-2018 season is really going to look different if Irving gets his way.

Check Out Chris Brown's Crazy Sneaker Closet

I know we've all seen some insane sneaker collections but I think Chris Brown might take the award for most INSANE.

Recently, Chris appeared on a episode of Complex's Sneaker Closets and it definitely was one to remember. Techincally it wasn't even a sneaker closet, it was a whole room filled with both sneakers and apparel. It has a floor to ceiling set up of shelves filled with sneakers from Nike, Jordans, Adidas, Vans and many others.

One thing different about Chris is he actually wears all the sneakers he purchases and he doesn't mind getting his pair of Jordans a little dirty either. He says he changes everyday 3 to 4 times a day! So every pair that he owns has been worn before.

I can tell you about it all day, check out the video below courtesy of Complex.
