Yeah, I think we can all tell that this one hasn’t been updated in a little while. “Have only the best teammates in the world” and the nod to still playing with the Cavs give that one away. His bio is incredibly ironic to see with how things have evolved over the last season. An alleged spat with the most famous teammate you could ever have in LeBron James led Kyrie to set sail for the Boston Harbor this past offseason.

With the two teams going at it for a chance at the NBA Finals this year, maybe a good update to this page could help Kyrie with that post ballin’ business. We’ll see how his film career pans out when his upcoming Uncle Drew movie debuts. It looks about as good as my fathers cooking, which consisted strictly of Tyson chicken Nuggets fresh out of the oven. Not good.

My “Professional” opinion: Picture suggests that he is a casual guy. I’d like to see some better grammar on the bio and more professional connections. An updated location will help me try to place him with some of our clients better if he’s active on the job market anytime soon. If that knee doesn’t heal correctly….
