As European I am impressed how ridiculously this sound. It's like saying: "we fough a nazis and lost a lot of heroes defending that right so he can be nazi as much as he want". Do you see the irony here?
And don't get me wrong, I don't give a sh... about Kyrie and his personal dramas, I am here because I love basketball, it just impress me all the stupidity people say and how their brain capacity don't distinct between freedom of speech and hate speech. And no, that's not even remotely the same.
But there's more. Even I, as non-american know what your constitution says and what freedom of speech is, while by my observation many americans, including you, obviously don't which is somewhat embarrassing, don't you think?

Let me help you in most simple manner and then I am out of this thread:

You really have zero clue about what went on with Kyrie up here, and your comments are indicative of it. He was an absolute disaster during his four years here in Brooklyn. Every season there was drama that was of his own creation. Randomly going AWOL at the start of the season, skipping games to attend parties, the whole vaccine fiasco which led to James Harden wanting to get the hell away from him, and the antisemitism stuff. All of that was him.

I guess it's regional cultural thing, but his antisemitism isn't tolerated in NY because we have a large Jewish population. I guess in your area, his hateful views aren't much to raise an eyebrow at. He felt comfortable to erase his apology and stemming from the comments in this thread, i can see why.

Either way, you guys sound a lot like we (Nets) fans did when we first got Kyrie and Cavs and Celtics fans were warning us about how toxic he is. You'll learn the hard way, just like we did.

Good luck. You'll need it.


If I hate something that it's this kind of messaging. Wtf you're doing here?


Yeah BKN has a lot of brainwashed woke people that want us to use special pronouns.

You ask people to use a special pronoun around here and then you demand it and get stupid and aggressive about it, you might get your ass beat and get thrown in a dumpster.

BKN should be renamed the BKN ZEDS. Or the BKN soy boys. We maybe need a thread on here to discuss what we need to rename BKN into as a more appropriate team name now that they no longer have Kyrie.

NY is ruled by criminal traitors so we all know you guys up there are not real men or you would do something about it.

Is it any wonder you soy boys could not get along with Kyrie?

I see his point perfectly he was not getting any respect in the land of brook because it is a shithole that is full of fake people that are too scared to take back their state from the evil that runs it.

You guys up there need to take a course so you can learn how to grow some balls and become the guys you used to be before you let your state fall into the hands of the satanic communist evil scum that calls the shots up in NY.

Oh, so you're hurted now? :(
Don't blame me, it's you the one who like to talk about constitutional rights without understanding your own Constitution. Must feel like an educational system failed you or something. How sad :/

I don't want to pour more salt on your wound. Will see myself out :wink:

I don't ask my barrista, barber or cashier what their beliefs are on things outside their job description before I do business with them. Kyries opinions have no affect on me. I'm here to watch some good basketball and he delivers on that.

This is a freindly reminder that Kyrie asked out of Brooklyn, and the disagreement was on contract guarantee, the condition in question was winning a championhip not reciting "Shmaa Yisrael", so, everyone can get off his high moral pedestal, had Kyrie agreed to that co ntract, he wouldn't be Maverick right now, and the rightous people in Brooklyn would still be watching him play in Barclays center.

To be frank, he is so talented many teams would let it slide. It’s like Jordan’s sociopathic behavior with the Bulls, the circus that was Dennis Rodman, the Gilbert Arenas issues, and the recent Ja Morant issues. That’s just the world we live in. That one white player has pretty much been exiled from the league because he dropped the n bomb while playing a video game. He apologized and it didn’t matter because he wasn’t talented enough to be forgiven.

Was it a n word?
I think it was Myles Leonard making some anti-semitic comment. Later he apologized but seem to be exiled for the last two years.

Stupid **** stirring thread btw - he clearly said in the presser yday "I stand by my apology and by my people". Yet you have an option to vote for "he will apologise" but none for "he's already apologised and I'm not concerned". :lol:


Its because ozwizard is the either the biggest troll on the mavs boards, or the stupidest poster. But he are allowed to be that, thats part of freedom to speech. Which he seems to be against by starting the thread, but that just takes me back to the first line in this post.

You're also allowed to be a troll or moron too. Great equality.

Mavs may get in huge trouble if Kyrie keeps making insults, and promoting BS anti-semitic material. So this is also basketball related. He may get 10 games ban out of nowhere.

I dont think anyone is concerned about him burning sage or talking about flat-earth.

Just hope he does not say to kill all Jews. They're pretenders etc, stuff. You know that type of racist statements caused millions of people to die in the holocaust and world war. I don't think I would support him doing this with Mavs platform. I'm all in him shut up and just dribble. I dont care about his personality or flawed mindset as long as he keeps it on the court.

LOL I don't think he'll ever say "kill all jews". C'mon man. :lol:

The main issue with him is showing up for games. Now weekly therapy sessions and a bottle of prozac would help solve that. Let's go!

It would work in 90s but not in social media age. Kyrie is constantly looking for attraction, deliberately acting marginal, if not criminal.

As long as he plays games, I don't care if he acts marginal or not. He can wear a clown costume tomorrow and I wont give a F. Just play the damn game. :nod:

The troll is the one making controversial and largely unfounded accusations against a player and calling them "openly antisemitic". None of that is what happened with this amazon film link tweet incident. AFAIK there were no insults made.
And you asked for him to apologise when he had already done so.
Sounds like someone just stirring **** on an internet forum to incite some sort of outrage.

So yeah maybe stick to facts a little bit or back up your accusations with evidence if you don't want to be called out and look like a moron.

Kyrie just deleted his apology video.
The apology video itself was hugely controversial as tens of thousands people called it as a 'not apology video', 'forced' etc. You can check twitter-reddit or some realgm threads about this.

There was a half-assed apology which is now deleted. Tell Kyrie to not stir **** up. He is the #1 troll.

I am sorry for you and your buddy that needs to either say stupid/moron/troll etc to feel better. I advise you to stick to actual arguments.

Like I said, I don't care if he wears a FLAT-Earth mascot costume. I agree with you if he plays and dont make the headlines with anti-semitic stuff, it's fine. Cuban can't trust Mavs reporters though, because when Kyrie acts marginal he makes national news.

You called me moron, I didn't call you anything, you imbecile.

And you're surprised that the media of the media and jewish capital of the world would feast on this topic? It's his right to delete whatever he wants and he clearly said in the press conference "I stand by my apology" - yet that doesn't fit your **** agenda so you prefer going around insulting people and denying that he apologised in the first place. Childish and harmful to this board and basketball related discussions.

No, you’re right. It was Meyers Leonard and he used an anti-Semitic comment. But that reinforces my point even more. If you’re exceptionally talented you can do and say whatever you want up to a certain point. Meyers Leonard did the same thing, apologized, and was exiled by the league because he’s not as talented as someone like Kyrie.

Irving has a great team to score with right here. I don't know if you have thought of this but with Max and Wood that combo is going to do some special things for this team.

Where else is he going to get lucky Luka and have a team that has the Max Wood combo with the Pow that we have now.

You just cant get a pow with a Max Wood combo like we freaking have now.

No matter how many blue pills you take this is the only team with the max wood combo that you need and now with pow doing it too the on the court performance is going to be amazing. There will be no struggle to perform or any performance issues at all.

The scoring is going to be very easy and the Ladys here in Texas are the best so you need to be your best to impress and that should really work out for Kyrie since this is the only team that has the max wood advantage.

Trust me he is going to enjoy playing for this team and how it performs with the max wood advantage.

And now with our Pow being so much more effective it has to be making the team excited to see the kind of performance that we can now enjoy with everyone on the court pulling together to make the team work totally explode and take everyone's performance to the next level and just destroy the competition and get some easy penetration to the rim

Trust me I know that no other team will match our max wood combo yeah I know max wont play for a while but I just like to think about our future when that max wood combo is out there and then pow right in the hole an easy score so no way they can keep us from out scoring them.

And the young guns will be penetrating all the way to get to the rim as well.

Kyrie is really going to enjoy the max wood advantage and he will find it way easier to penetrate and get to the rim as well even if he is a bit older and maybe has trouble performing up to his expectations as an older male those things happen so he has to want to play for this team since we are the only ones that have the Max wood combo and with Pow doing it is going to be more fun and one great performance after another so he will be very happy no matter what so when he looks back at his long career in Dallas he can have a happy ending to a long and happy career.

So what do you guys think will he be happy and have a long happy ending to his career here or not?

I thought it was extremely insulting to make a Black man bend the knee to the racist ADL. Say what you will about what ‘modern historians’ think about Leo Frank being innocent, the fact remains that to many in the Black community the ADL was formed to help frame a Black man for a heinous rape and murder that was committed by a Jewish man. Leo Frank was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers in the Jim Crow south based on the testimony of a Black man. It was appealed to the Supreme Court and he lost. The fact that Kyrie was forced to bend the knee to an outright evil organization like the ADL, which does nothing but lie and sow division, was racist as hell to me. Oh and Amazon is still hosting the book and movie ‘Hebrew to Negro’. Where is the hate and outrage towards Jeff Bezos for continuing to profit off of and distribute this insane, ‘dangerous’ antisemitic disinformation?! Why isn’t the Washington Post publicly disavowing their owner for profiteering off of antisemitic propaganda?!

And let’s talk about his antivax stance. Aaron Rodgers played unvaccinated for 2 years in several cities with mandates and nobody batted an eye. He got like 2 days of flack on ESPN over it. Kyrie does it and the city of New York and the Nets chose to make an example of him… was that racism? ESPN dragged him through the dirt while other athletes got off clean. The same people who cry ‘my body my choice’ were real quick to try to violate Kyrie’s bodily autonomy. That’s very ironic to me. He’s still unvaccinated by the way.

Return to Dallas Mavericks
