“He sacrificed a lot,” Irving described his father, who continues to live in their old house. “Ultimately gave up his dream to play basketball professionally [to support the family].”

After two months of renovation, Kyrie escorted his dad to his newly fixed place and was greeted by a more spacious layout and a modernized design.

Drederick, on the other hand, seemed quite delighted with his new home.

“I’m just so grateful for Asia and Kyrie,” he said. “Just a good feeling as a parent to know your kids have your back and they think about you. It’s just a nice gesture on their part.”
