Wall has often been pitted against Irving on the court as two longtime Eastern Conference point guards who were the No. 1 draft pick in back-to-back years. He has a lot of respect for Irving as a player and, as he explains, as an advocate as well. “Kyrie has his things where he be in his own world… ‘The Earth is flat,’” he said. “But to be honest, I think he has a point. A lot of people feel that way. I think that’s why they tried to get on that call to see how many people really want to go play and how many people don’t want to play. Because with all this ‘Black Lives Matter’ going on and protesting and trying to get justice and all that; a lot of people feel like it’s not safe to go there. That’s what he stands on.”
