Okay, so I found myself going down a bit of a rabbit hole the other day, trying to figure out this whole thing about Kyrie Irving and a medicine degree. Someone mentioned it, sounded kinda odd, so I figured, let me check this out.
First thing I did was just hop on my usual search engine. Typed in the obvious stuff, you know? Things like:
- Kyrie Irving doctor
- Kyrie Irving medicine studies
- Did Kyrie Irving finish college degree
- Kyrie Irving Duke major
Pretty standard search process, just trying different combinations to see what popped up. Spent a good chunk of time clicking through results, reading bits here and there.
What I Found (or Didn’t Find)
Lots came up about his time at Duke University, naturally. Everyone knows he went there. But the key thing is, he wasn’t there long at all. Played a handful of games, got injured, then boom – off to the NBA draft. That was pretty much the story everywhere I looked. Official school sites, sports news archives, player bios… nothing mentioned medicine.
Honestly, I couldn’t find a single credible source saying he pursued or got a degree in medicine. It seems like he was focused on basketball right from the get-go, which makes sense given his career path.
Why I Even Looked This Up
It’s funny, the whole reason I started digging was because of a conversation I overheard. People talking about athletes having hidden talents or surprising backgrounds. And someone threw out the Kyrie medicine thing. It stuck in my head, you know? Like an itch I had to scratch. Reminds me of when my neighbor was convinced another celebrity was secretly a quantum physicist because they said something smart in an interview once. People love those kinds of unexpected stories.
So, I just had to see for myself. Didn’t take forever, but I was thorough, went through a few pages of search results, tried different phrasings. Wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something obvious.
Anyway, the conclusion was pretty straightforward. No, Kyrie Irving doesn’t have a degree in medicine. He had a short stint at Duke, focusing on basketball before turning pro. Seems like just another internet rumor or maybe someone got him mixed up with someone else entirely. Always worth checking things out yourself!
