Recently, Irving made philosophical remarks while attending an event.

Irving said: "In the NBA, I still have many children's habits. This is my point of view. I think you can always keep your innocence. You can be like a child because basketball is fun, just like a child's game. Someone gives us thousands of dollars to play children's games. This game is no different from your shots in your backyard and 1V1 with your friends.

"The grand blueprint of the generation has been depicted here. I think it is a beautiful era. Everyone here has better opportunities than me. Nowadays, families support you more than ever (engage in this industry), and the team general manager can discover good seedlings earlier. You never know who is following you, who will help you and give you opportunities.

"I also want to say that you can be calm. There is nothing wrong with being a kind person. You don't have to deliberately not greet others in order to look cool, and you don't have to pretend to be tough to get along with others. But you also need to maintain your own dignity, which means you have to have a good balance."
