Kyrie Irving wants to bring his gaming talents to FaZe Clan.

For those who don’t know, Kyrie Irving streams when he’s not on the court, showcasing his crafty dribbling skills that break ankles.

During one of his recent streams, Irving was on the phone with a member of FaZe Clan, the once-uber-popular esports and influencer brand, which has seen better days and expressed interest in joining the team.

“I was wondering if y’all are taking applications,” the all-star Dallas Mavericks point guard said. “I don’t really know how that shit really goes, bro.”

Needing some serious star power like Irving, the person on the other end of the phone took Irving’s inquiry into joining the team positively, and the official account for FaZe Clan on X, formerly Twitter, shared a photoshopped image of the NBA champion wearing a FaZe Clan jersey.

If Irving does officially join FaZe Clan, he would follow in the footsteps of other big names like Bronny James, Offset, Snoop Dogg, Lil Yachty, and Ben Simmons, who are seemingly no longer a part of the organization.

So if Irving does decide to join officially, he would be the biggest name on the squad.

Kyrie Irving Wants People To Stop Making Fun of Karl-Anthony Towns’ Voice

That’s not all that went down during the stream. Irving also defended his close friend Karl-Anthony Towns, urging fans to stop making fun of him for “changing up his tone.”

“Y’all gotta stop making fun of my brother KAT. I’m done with y’all,” Irving told viewers of the stream.

“Stop making fun of my brother KAT. It’s over for that, it’s a fuckking wrap, I’m letting you know that if you repost that shit again or meme him up, I’m attacking you. Not like that physically, GTA, but I’m attacking you.”

Irving also alluded to Kat’s upbringing in New Jersey as a reason people should back off.

“Y’all gotta leave KAT alone because y’all don’t know what it’s like to grow up in Jersey and have all of these cultures that you’re a part of, trust me on that,” said Irving. “Jersey is literally 130 miles long, it’s (a) very, very small state … but leave him alone.”

“Because he’s Dominican, he’s black, he grew up in a certain area in Jersey, just like me, and you gotta survive out here,” Irving continued. “You got many different demographics of people, so you gotta survive out here. I don’t agree all the time when he be changing up his tone sometimes, I don’t always agree and all that shit, that shit be funny, but on a serious note, he is a man, he is my brother and I protect him all the time.”
