You are right from an outright evil (allegedly) perspective. I read the question as basketball related, rather than just a total **** of a person in general


We're talking all NBA history here. He's not even right on the outright evil (allegedly) perspective. Bridges is in no way comparable to Crittenton in that regard. Between Crittenton and Bridges only one of those guys is in prison for murdering a mother of four, and it isn't Bridges

Spoken like a true hater.

Yep. A man who builds a school where kids that don't even have college on their radar graduate and go to college for free, a man who is planning to build a hospital in low-income communities, a man who married his high school sweetheart and not 1 affair, a man who is known as a family man -- wow. Truly toxic.

Just worth noting that LeBron's school project was funded by the state/city. He was just front man claiming to put all this money in but the state paid it all back.


I mean, it is a public school, and that's how public school systems work so....

Kyrie is Michael Jordan when it comes to being toxic

Came to the school board with the idea for the school, provided millions for start up, committing to millions long term.

Apparently that makes him a "front man". Crazy how people can be so uninformed and still think they know what they're talking about

Kobe Bryant.

Never really a fan. Sure, Irving has some even more ridiculous flaws, but he's also a bit of a vagabond. At least I'd know he'd be gone in a year or two to create havoc elsewhere. He's not good enough to overcome the negatives he brings.

Bryant, however, was a magnificent basketball player who would possibly be entrenched for a very long time.

contrary to popular belief Kyrie is actually one of the most well liked guys in the league, has tons of friends that are players. When Drummond got traded to Brooklyn he literally said "i'm glad to be playing with one of my best friends in the league Kyrie"

All of the players in Boston still love him from the locker room

Kyrie is only toxic for front offices, otherwise as a teammate he's great.

Point is it was all more or less paid back. Giving another example of it's all about him, even when it is not.

Even if LeBron did it just for a tax writeoff (which may or may not be the case), who cares? A good deed is a good deed, and it doesn't make it less good for those kids going to college if LeBron needed (or didn't need) a way to save some money.

Is Kyrie toxic because he said screw the vaxx while some of you got in line like good little boys?

That's a lie. He donated money. Other than maybe a tax write off he did not get anything in return.

So your mad that Lebron took credit (what does that mean btw?) for something that he actually did. Which is come up with the initiative for a school and then following up by funding it with a multi million dollar commitment.

You making up lies about his charitable donations is more toxic then anything he's done.

You clearly not done any research on the topic.

Show me a source. Because I have done some research, and nobody here seems to agree with you.

Sorry I don't take one of the biggest Lebron haters word at face value

...Not to mention missing long swaths of time on the Cavs, going days at a time not speaking to teammates even when the Cavs were in the midst of playoff runs, threatening the Cavs with getting elective surgery to force a trade (right after their making the finals), telling the Boston media on Oct. 20, 2018 (i.e., right after joining them) that he'd actually wanted to play on the Knicks, throwing his young Celtics teammates under the bus multiple times during his short time together with them (ostensibly for passing to the wrong people--i.e., not him--or not trying hard enough), missing long swaths of the regular season/playoffs (when "his" Celtics played better without him), telling the Boston fans/media that he's "coming back" but didn't, claiming to be "coach" of the Nets, continuing to miss time large swaths of time while on the Nets (and not just over the vaccine mandate but for vague "personal reasons"), claiming to be the **** GM of the Nets, etc., etc. (I won't even go into the flat earth stuff and other quotes.)


I honestly don't think Kyrie is toxic, he is just weird. So it comes down to can you coexist with a weirdo on the team. Some can some can't.

Toxic to me is a guy like Jordan calling teammates Ho's etc in practice. After the first few times I would've stood up for those guys, stepped in and fist fought Mike everyday in practice until I got traded cause let's face it I'd probably be 12-15 guy on the roster so no need to keep me :lol:

LA Lakers version of Brodie is another guy cause I can't stand adults who don't take accountability and he doesn't do that imo.

Oh and CP3, he just seem like a B.A.N.

I'm sure it's some new school guys and old school guys I missed.

He is most certainly toxic.
