Video: Nets' Kyrie Irving Finally Speaks to the Media

The Brooklyn Nets welcomed back their point-guard Kyrie Irving today with open arms after an extended absence that was surrounded by questions.

From video appearances at birthday parties, to making headlines with his big heart and cheque book, Irving has been all over the news and no where near the court. That's going to change from all accounts and considering the Nets are rolling with James Harden in the lineup, finally adding Irving is going to be scary for opponents.

Kyrie Irving says basketball and life has been 'lot to balance':

"There's a deeper level of emotions that I have for helping people and serving. There's nothing normal about this life I live. Let me use this as a tool to be able to change things that I want to see in the world" pic.twitter.com/ULpKeWgmbd
