Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has built a reputation as one of the most notable athlete-streamers in the world. When he isn't competing side-by-side with fellow Dallas guard Luka Doncic in pursuit of an NBA title, Irving can infrequently be found streaming.
This week, in a video posted online, Irving can be seen telling his wife, Marlene Wilkerson, that his chat wants him to start an OnlyFans.
He then looks to the camera, letting everyone know that he's joking while keeping the gag running to draw a reaction from his wife.

"Nobody could be in my chat telling me to start an OnlyFans. I don't like. I don't know about that. No disrespect to anybody that's on OnlyFans. I have no problem with it. I'm just saying, you can't be asking me to start an OnlyFans."
She then can be faintly heard telling Irving to go away, with the 2016 NBA champ responding:
"I'm just telling the tribe they can't be talking like that. Talking too spicy in the chat."
This isn't the first time Irving has made jokes about OnlyFans, and weighed in on the platform. Back in 2022, while streaming Grand Theft Auto, Irving was asked about OnlyFans.
In response, he indicated that he had no comment, saying that although he has no problem with people using the service, no creators would be getting his debit card.
Kyrie Irving talks about his all-time ranking during recent live stream
While some of Kyrie Irving's most notable moments online feature him streaming video games, he also does chat streams where he talks about a wide range of topics. Following a recent viral clip where the longtime star was freestyle rapping, he appeared in another stream where he talked about his all-time NBA ranking.
The clip starts with Irving joking that he's one of the top-50 point guards of all time, an obvious statement given his accolades and longevity as an elite player. Then, he gives a candid but honest answer as he discusses the topic.
"I'm definitely up there. You got to think, I've created a whole different genre, a whole different style with my play. I have people legitimately studying just the movements. Trying to figure out how did this young kid named Kai get to be so swaggy like that on the court."
With the 2024-25 NBA season right around the corner, and the Dallas Mavericks preseason set to begin on October 7, it's unlikely that fans will see Irving on stream as often as they have this offseason.
With the team on a quest for redemption following their NBA Finals loss to the Boston Celtics, expect Irving to be locked in.
