Kyrie Irving is in a “good place” with the Nets and Thursday night, that place was in Union, N.J., home of Kean University.

Not long after Ian Begley used that phrase to describe Irving’s relationship with the Nets, Irving took the floor at the university’s Harwood Arena with four Nets teammates and perhaps more importantly, a Nets marketing team, in attendance.

As Adam Zagoria wrote for NJ.com:

Kyrie Irving returned to play basketball in New Jersey on Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets posted videos and photographs of the night and a rapprochement between the two sides appears in the making. The West Orange native and ex-St. Patrick School star hosted his “More Than A Run” All-Star Game before a crowd of more than 2,000 at Kean University that included his Nets teammates Royce O’Neale, Kessler Edwards and David Duke Jr.

The coverage on Instagram Thursday night was indeed positive. On Friday, the Nets official Twitter page added to it...

Hold up, ain’t this n*gga the alpha & omega of kyrie Stan’s dare I say the biggest Stan of one man in this section.

How is BKLYN wrong to keep the avatar of bi*ch, moodiness, fickleness and herb like behavior ?

When you find him to be god on a bball court has it occurred to some of you

This man has been on how many teams ? Has worked with how many great players, has “lead” teams and they did better when he didn’t play. He worked with the best player of this gen.

And because of his stupid ego. Couldn’t hang. Nobody wants the consequence of this n*gga, fu*k that ring.

He wants a legacy all his own, he wants to do it on his own ?

I would k*ll him to take his money. I would say it to his face.

I like and respect his idea of choice, and freedom and being a man but it’s bullsh*t. People died and he got to fu*k around on his morale high ground with his high horse and fuxk the team and organization. Getting MILLIONS WHILE DOING IT.

He gotta suck a d*ck on this one.

Say what you want outside of basketball... but on the court he is "showtime"

When the Drama Queen gonna act up again can’t trust his attention seeking a*s just like a sneaky bi*ch!

Irrelevant franchise

Will never win sh*t

They’ll be remembered just for having KD and Kyrie for a period of time

You deserve Russell Westbrook and Tyler Herro

KD wouldnt have wanted out if Harden didnt leave but Nets got no choice but to keep these 2. Never will get what they want for trading either 1 of them

But can he play ball without being a distraction? Can he show up to work? Never seen a diva like this before.

Brons*xuals thought he was going to La for the vet minimum @

Y’all fell for the ESPN soap opera.

#JewLife said Bro swears like he’s doing the world a favor when he picks up a basketball

My son does tho

One of the most skilled mentally ill professionals we’ve ever had


I’m waiting for him to go to the same home @

Is at

I got money on it they become friends

Kyrie put on a show yesterday had union, Irvington and Newark n*ggas in there goin nuts.


Like I told yall before he will get his money so long as there is no new mandate by January

Told y’all but y’all love the drama and being scammed by fake Twitter insiders

KD met with the owner this week too so you know none of them trippin

Leave to these fake sources like Marc stein that blimp Porkhurst, and anybody from the athletic and theyll keep saying Kyrie gonna be traded until he walks on the floor opening night

blah blah blah said Brons*xuals thought he was going to La for the vet minimum @

Blame the #1 Lebron stan of them all Brian Windhorst

Yes! Can't wait till Nets win a chip!

Shannon bish a*s would do and say anything to get Lebron the best chance to win another a*sisted ring. Dude borderline attracted to Lebron at this point. Bias a*s sports media and their redundant show need to get tf outta here

If this is true and nets have this team, it will burn and crash

Does this anti-vaxx conspiracy theory weirdo plan on being a part-time basketball player, part-time civil rights activist, part-time Native American, part-time Black Panther and full-time a**hole again?

Like i said all along. They arent leaving

I mean at this point they’re basically choosing between signing Kyrie for another 2 or 3 years to match or come closer to KD’s contract to keep them both and still relatively be a sure contender or blow it up and receive Westbrook/Ingram/Lowry/etc. a bunch of guys not putting you in a better position than having KD or Kyrie. Choice seems pretty obvious don’t think it’s caving

Although that Jaylen Brown situation was interesting and probably the best move for Brooklyn if they had to trade
