Nick Kyrgios NBA
Nick Kyrgios’ love for basketball and NBA is not new to anyone. He is an avid follower of the NBA and supports the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
The Australian tennis star has often been spotted sporting jerseys of NBA teams during practice sessions. He played basketball in May along with former American basketball player, Corey Williams.
According to a recent Twitter post, NBA star Herb Jones stated in an interview that he drives the same car he drove during his college days. He also wears the same Pelican gear to most of his games instead of branded clothing that he can easily afford. He tries to save as much as he can and care what people say about his humble approach to life as long as his family lives a better life.
“I try to save, man. I’m not worried about what somebody would say about my appearance if my family is doing good or better than what they were.”
Kyrgios quote retweeted the tweet and lauded Herb Jones for his selfless take. The 2022 Wimbledon runner-up wrote: “Love this”.
The 2022 Australian Open doubles champion Nick Kyrgios isn’t a player that you will see playing in all the tournaments in a season. He takes frequent breaks from the court to keep himself rejuvenated.
Nick Kyrgios does not have a coach and earlier in the year at Wimbledon, he explained the reason behind the same.
“I don’t want to put anyone in trouble I don’t have a coach because I don’t want to bother anyone who is in charge of him. I know my game well and I know what I can do.”
After the nominees for the ATP Coach of the Year award were announced, Kyrgios wanted his name to be put up on the list of nominees as well.
“Tbh I should be in coach of the year, I coached myself to a Wimbledon final 😂”
