Jun 12, 2015 4:14 PM UTC Here are some press conference questions for the Cleveland Cavaliers Kyrie Irving: Were they on a [break](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEn9YvJ3Gfg)? Who’s Rachel’s [lobster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU39sqEQOms)? And the ultimate stumper: What’s Chandler’s [job](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oENQjvY96dM)? Irving should have all the answers. After all, the [injured](http://www.si.com/nba/2015/06/05/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving-injury-twitter-reaction) player has a _Friends_ tattoo on his arm. Could he _be_ a bigger fan? Irving’s explanation for the Must See TV body art can be found on his Instagram, where he [wrote](https://instagram.com/p/3xcbt1MhAQ/?taken-by=k1irving), “I mean what can I say lol I’m a fan of the show.” GQ’s Jack Moore, a self-professed Cavs fan, [described](http://www.gq.com/blogs/the-feed/2015/06/kyrie-irving-is-a-90s-kid-has-a-tattoo-of-the-friends-logo.html?mbid=social%5Ftwitter) the revelation of noticing Irving’s tattoo. “I was delighted to see Kyrie Irving take the podium today to address his season ending injury, but I was distracted while he talked,” Moore wrote. “I couldn’t stop looking at his wrist. I couldn’t get a good look at it though. So I had to pull a _CSI_ and ENHANCE!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/"},"headline":"This Cleveland Cavaliers Player Has a Friends Tattoo","datePublished":"2015-06-12T16:14:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:24.371Z","description":"Does he consider himself more of a Ross, a Chandler or a Joey?","url":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Friends","celebrity","NBA","Cleveland Cavaliers"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/","name":"This Cleveland Cavaliers Player Has a Friends Tattoo"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Know Right Now: Golden State Warriors Win NBA Title","description":"The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals 105-97.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/lX4CFvCj/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-28T13:56:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/lX4CFvCj.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/","duration":"PT1M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3918985/cleveland-cavaliers-kyrie-irving/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
