NBA Players: 5 Superstars who could underperform next season

#5 Kyrie Irving

Kyrie's made an unforgivable mess of his years since the 2016 title.

Winning an NBA title at just 23 years of age promises Hall of Fame caliber talent and that is exactly what Kyrie Irving possesses. The only anomaly being the negative returns his decisions have brought in the past two years precisely.

His stint with the Celtics turned out to be one of the most forgettable runs by a first-class player in any franchise. His return saw a declined level of energy and heightened tension in the Celtics locker room which eventually resulted in the team underperforming than what achieved without him as their leader.

Now that he finds himself amidst yet another high-powered and talented young core in Brooklyn, there is reason to believe that history could repeat itself, especially because Durant is slated to miss considerable time in the upcoming season for his Achilles injury rehab.
