KD didnt even say anything about Kyrie and Kyrie said he's gonna address it. How exactly is this a clap-back? lol. Just manufacturing drama? KD's answer to the problems in BRK were as diplomatic as can be

Kyrie is close with KD so I doubt he's gonna go at him, he's just going to probably share the way things went down from his perspective, and honestly people were trying to end his career over a movie that's still up right now on amazon to rent/buy, so he probably feels some type of way about his brooklyn tenure.

Think of the stuff KD could have said about Kyrie. Brooklyn Kyrie was making national headlines for his approach to Covid and antisemitism. Durant must really like Kyrie to not name him or his situations specifically.

Typical KD. NEVER taking any accountability. It was everybody else’s fault. It looks to me like Nash was just being polite in not saying anything back.

Yeah that's it, he's just being polite. Don't ever re-evalute what you thought once after being provided video with two men actually discussing the facts of what they thought happened. :roll:

Claps back?!

If anything i expect Kyrie to one day clap back/publicly flame the genocidal part owner of The Nets Joe Tsai (especially as Kyrie is a Muslim)

I think he and KD are fine as far as I can ascertain

Irving seems more into the flat earth stuff than the Palestine genocide

Was referring mainly to the genocide and on going mistreatment of Muslims and Black People in Mynamar at the hands of a brutal Chinese regime which Joe Tsai endores and does business with

KD talked about distractions and how some people at the club weren't as focused on basketball as he and Steve were. That was clearly about Kyrie even though he didn't name him. "The distractions" were all about Kyrie, his anti-semitic Tweets, anti-vax stance, etc. He was also saying that they didn't really need coaching and stuff.

So Kyrie might respond to that. Or he might go after Nash and ignore what KD said. He'll be wrong, as usual.
