Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving called out his Twitch chat for making a disrespectful comment regarding his family member.
Irving hosted a stream on Sunday, as his sister Asia was in the background. Twitch users wanted Irving to go “full screen” so they could see her completely. However, he did not approve of that request.
“Yo chat. What are y'all doing? Yo, one person could end this whole stream, bro, don't y'all dare tell me to put my sister on full screen. Yo, what's wrong with y'all I know? Y'all I know. Y'all be at home sometimes getting away with this s***. Not here, though, not here. All right. Show some respect, bro. Don't make me stop my stream again like this. I love y'all. With y'all, but no, don't do this again,” Kyrie Irving said.
“Don't let your gooner thoughts win, don't let your addictions win.”
