Right now, Kyrie Irving is one of the biggest superstars in the NBA and he is the center of attention nearly everywhere he goes. The Boston Celtics point guard has it all, but one day, he'd like to leave it all behind and live off the grid somewhere. According to Nicole Yang of Boston.com, when asked where he'll be in 20, 30 years, Irving said:

“I don’t know if you guys will see me. I’ll probably be in 800 acres in Texas in the middle of nowhere. Off the grid in a self-sustaining community, just living with no power. Like this is fun and all, but technology is just killing me, man.”

You and me both, Kyrie. Technology is killing all of us. So much so that JJ Redick recently ditched social media entirely. For professional athletes, the constant spotlight must be mentally draining. It's no wonder that Kyrie envisions a quiet life when his playing days are over.

As a regular Joe, social media and the constant information stream can be exhausting. Now imagine that you are constantly a central figure in the news.

Living off the grid in a self-sustaining community without the comforts of modern technology sounds appealing, but that sounds more like a vacation than a permanent arrangement. It's always nice to get a break from technology and social media, but if Kyrie does decide to live off the grid, how will he catch up on all the latest NBA news? Who knows, in 20 years, LeBron could be 53-years-old, he'll be preparing for his 35th NBA season and fourth stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
