Apology to Kyrie Irving

I'm out on vacation, and what have you, but I felt compelled to come on the air.

Because ladies and gentlemen, I have to do something that I've done in the past,

but I haven't had to do but so much in my career.

I just feel compelled to do it today.

And that's the issue, an apology.

There's several people that we all owe apologies to,

and I'll put myself at the front of the list.

But none more so than the apology that I owe to Kyrie Irvin.

But this is not about him the basketball player.

This is about him the man.

The reality is, is that Kyrie Irvin,

no matter what we think,

may have been more right than we have given him credit for,

and unquestionably was more vilified than he deserved.

It turns out that no matter what the truth is behind all of this,

Kyrie Irvin did nobody wrong.

We did him wrong.

I did him wrong.

And for that, I'm sincerely sorry.
