Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving seems really fed up with all the media attention he and the team has been getting this season.

The Celtics have been getting a ton of attention from the media because of how inconsistent they have been all season. They are currently the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, but it seems like they're headed for their fifth loss in six games against the mighty Houston Rockets.

In addition, the media has been following Kyrie Irving, with the hopes of getting any indication about his free agency decision this summer. The All-Star guard is rumored to be unhappy with the situation in Boston, and it could be one of the reasons why he might choose to go to another team.

Irving is trying to not be distracted by all the media attention, as he's focused on helping the Celtics play like a championship contender. However, things aren't looking good for Boston, and with the playoffs less than two months away, the team needs to turn things around quick if they want to make a deep run in the postseason.

In the end, this is what Irving wanted when he left the Cleveland Cavaliers two years ago: a team where he is the clear-cut best player, a team where he can be the leader. Now, he has the Celtics in his shoulders, and it's up to him to deliver, regardless of how much media attention he gets.
