Kyrie Irving Reportedly Wants To Play Like An MVP Next Season: “Irving Has Been In The Gym…”

Although he only appeared in 29 regular season games last season, Kyrie Irving was still able to enjoy a solid statistical year with averages of 27.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 46.9% from the field and 41.8% from the three-point line. 

There’s no doubt that Irving is capable of putting up such numbers. He’s just so creative with the ball, and can score with the best of them using a combination of insane dribbling moves and three-level shot-making ability.

That being said, the 30-year old Nets point guard hasn’t done enough yet to be in the running for the league MVP award in any season of his career. With that in mind, Irving is reportedly getting busy in the gym this summer and is focused on having an MVP-caliber season in the 2022-23 NBA campaign. 

Nets PG Kyrie Irving has been in the gym, focusing on weight training and core fitness this off-season.

Those close to the PG tell @BallySports Irving’s focused on having an MVP caliber season literally. “He’s more than just a dribbling sensation.”
