A kid put Kyrie Irving on the spot, so now he has to stay in Cleveland forever

The guilt trip totally worked!

Eric P. Mull-US PRESSWIRE

Either Dan Gilbert planted this kid or he's kicking himself that he didn't think of planting this kid. Here's Kyrie Irving withering in the face of a plaintive, puppy-eyed child who asks if he'll "leave us like LeBron left us":


That is some brilliant entrapment. Now Irving can’t bolt when his contract’s up for fear of that child’s mewling visage haunting him for the rest of his life. Well played, Cleveland.

Update: This is from several years ago, but keep it in mind come 2015.
