Kyrie Irving has always stood up for social matters he strongly believes in, even if they are the cost of his place in the league. Be it gender quality or his vaccination stance, the former NBA Champ has never run away from making his point. The latter mentioned above was a reason why Irving contested in only 29 games last season.
So perhaps it is safe to say state that 2022-23 campaign could be the most vital for Kyrie Irving. Moreover, this is a chance for him to secure a long-term deal as he facing an expiring contract, making him a free agent in 2023. However, Kyrie is not the only person who is under pressure.
One person who can truly understand his adrenaline and intensity this season is Kyrie Irving’s agent Shetellia Riley-Irving, who is the Brooklyn Nets star’s agent currently. So, without much further ado let’s take a detailed look on Kyrie Irving’s agent.
Kyrie Irving Agent: All About Shetellia Riley Irving
Irving fired his agent, Jeff Wechsler, during the summer when he arrived in Brooklyn in 2019. Furthermore, Irving even changes his representation to Roc Nations Sports to negotiate his contract with the Nets. This is just when Shetellia Riley Irving, the only ‘black’ woman representative in the NBA, to step in.
Interestingly, she is not only the stepmom of Kyrie Irving but is also the Vice President of Ad Sales at Black Entertainment Television, a subsidiary of the multimedia powerhouse Viacom. Perhaps after months of controversy Irving wanted someone close to his heart to take care of him professionally, that is just when he switched to Shetellia.
Shetellia never wanted to be an agent, rather she made a huge switch from the entertainment industry to the sports industry. That being said, will this sacred relation help Irving to land a mammoth deal during his free agency? Remains to be seen.
