根據記者Shams Charania報導，獨行俠球員Kyrie Irving在去年暑假與安塔簽約之後，獲得簽約其他球員的權利，而Kyrie Irving也在冠軍賽前，決定簽下他的「爸爸」Drederick Irving，成為首位代言Irving球鞋的球員。
這也是職業運動史上，首位用球鞋合約簽下自己爸爸的紀錄。

Irving的爸爸Drederick過去在波士頓大學打球，職業生涯轉往澳洲發展，Irving決定簽下爸爸為首位代言的球員，在未來九月也將會在美國Foot Locker販賣Drederick簽名鞋款，不確定是否會以Irving為主底作為設計。
Drederick played at Boston University and professionally in Australia. Kyrie signed his dad to an endorsement deal -- and the Drederick Irving's will release in Foot Locker stores in September, an industry source said. https://t.co/5fwNWfXOAP
