Kyrie Irving has had success both in the NBA, winning a ring in 2016 with the
Cleveland Cavaliers, and with Team USA at the national team level, winning
three gold medals including the one at the FIBA U18 World Cup in 2010.
KI在NBA很成功，2016年在騎士拿下冠軍，在替美國國家隊打球也拿下三次冠軍，其中包
括2010年U18的世界盃冠軍。
However, as he revealed on a Twitch stream, the 31-year-old current Dallas
Mavericks guard said that he “wanted to play for Australia”. Being born in
Melbourne in 1992, he would have liked to represent the Boomers on the
International stage.
不過，這位現在在小牛打球的31歲球星，在twitch直播時，說他"想要替澳洲打球"。KI
1992年在墨爾本出生，他想要替澳洲國家隊在國際征戰。
“I consider myself an international player even though I played on Team USA.
A lot of my peers laugh at me when I bring it up and some fans may not agree,
but I was born in Australia. Team USA asked me to play for them when I was 17
or 18 … I wanted to play for Australia, but it just didn’t happen. Coach K
wasn’t going to let that happen either”, he said.
「我認為我自己是個國際球員，即便我以前替美國隊打球過。我很多的同儕們聽到我講到
這個都嘲笑我，有些粉絲也不同意，但是，我是在澳洲出生的。美國隊是在我17還是18歲
的時候問我是否想替他們打球....我那時候想替澳洲打球，但是沒成，K教練也不會讓這
事情發生的。」
