Kyrie Irving has yet to play one minute in the NBA, but he’s already dealing with groupie troubles. The No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Cavs in the 2011 NBA Draft has filed a restraining order against Jessica Jackson.
According to reports by blacksportsonline, Jackson, who calls herself Miss Hawaii, threatened to stab Irving via a Twitter message and posted videos on YouTube blasting him.
Several months ago, Irving and Jackson began contacting each on Twitter and Skype. Jackson eventually traveled to North Carolina unannounced and approached Irving. But when Irving realized that Jackson did not look as good as the picture on her Twitter avatar, he was turned off and apparently attempted to end communication with Jackson. However, Jackson was hurt by Irving’s lack of attention and began threatening him.
Jackson has reportedly attempted to contact several other NBA and college athletes in the past and has far fetched dreams of being on VH-1’s “Basketball Wives.”
Although social media allows us to communicate more often with distant friends and meet new interesting people, it’s important to always be cautious when using Facebook, Twitter and Skype.
Irving’s first lesson of being an NBA baller occurred in a game that’s more important than the one played on the court.–amir shaw
