Controversial NBA star Kyrie Irving has hit out at fans and the media in a rambling 67-minute Twitch stream, including a rebuke of him being 'the one cancer' in NBA locker rooms and his perceived lack of freedom.
The Dallas Mavericks superstar has regularly courted controversy during his time in the league, and on Thursday he spoke out about 'not being a free man'.
'How am I free if I know my people aren't free in Africa? How am I free if I know my Indigenous people are not free in Australia?,' he said in a clip of the stream posted to Twitter.
'How am I free if I know if I know kids are still working on the cobalt mines in Congo, making Teslas?'
Irving was born in Melbourne, Australia before moving back to the United States, aged two. He is known to have Native American and African ancestry.
