2011 NBA draft top pick over-all Kyrie Irving hopes to make his debut on time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But with the lockout, which took effect this past noon (Manila Time), he had began to worry on when he will be able to strut his wares in the big stage. The 6-2 Irving made headlines when he was chosen number one over-all by the Cavs in last week’s draft despite having only eleven games of college ball experience with the Duke University Blue Devils. Irving says he is worried but at the same time, remains hopeful that the lockout will not last that long and an agreement can be finally reached soon by the team owners and the players association, according to Yahoo! Sports.
“I’m worried about the lockout, but not to the extent where it’s overbearing and it’s weighing down on me. I really don’t think the lockout will extend to a year. I don’t think the fans could take it. The players can’t take it. The media can’t take it. Everyone can’t take such a big hit. The NBA is built on tradition and that’s something that they want to hold for a while. I’m hoping that they come to an agreement soon and it doesn’t cut into my contract at all.”
