Because Irving thinks he knows more than the doctors, something that is no real surprise, since he thinks he knows more than everybody about pretty much everything. It is hard to think of the last player in the pros to have less … [Read more...] about Mike Lupica: In the end, thin-skinned Kevin Durant wasn’t built for Brooklyn
