Love it.

Dude jumped ship at the worst time. Idiot. Boston is a clear finals favorite with him here over Theis.

Top 5 in the league for sure. Better than Bird? Jordan? Lebron? Magic? Duncan? Kareem?......sorry can’t see it ever given he is mediocre at best defender.

Dude. He is what 20 years old? We really don't know what he can grow to be in 4 years

That's the point guys. It's a bold proclamation! His talent is just not something I remembered seeing in such a young player in my life.

I think you can say he won’t be top 5 all time just based on his athleticism. I think you could confidently say - even at age 16 - that Doncic will never run, jump or defend at the level of Michael Jordan or Lebron. And that is no knock on the guy. Steph Curry has shown how great you can be with otherworldly skill, but he isn’t cracking my top 5 all time.

you know, I am far from a person who will actively root against another team. Bad Mojo, imo, however I do root against Lebron James.

Before lebron I always thought that Karl Malone and more so John Stockton were the most hate-able basketball players of all time, but Lebron easily trumps that....but you know who is firmly ties with Stockton and Malone? Yup Kyrie.

I willingly root against Kyrie

I like when Molly Qerim asks "already?" when SAS says he's hearing bad things about Kyrie's attitude (SAS starts to discuss Kyrie's rotten attitude at around the 2:24 mark). :lol:

Kyrie's a toxic malcontent. It'll be interesting when Durant, another malcontent, finally makes it onto the floor with Kyrie. This might be worse for the Nets than the trade for KG and Truth when all is said and done.

Not even a "SAS is not credible! He's making it up!" response. :lol:

Dude got paid way more than Boston was willing to offer, hardly idiotic on his part. ANd if he's in Boston, Celtics have a huge hole at PG, maybe they even retain Rozier.

Zoom to the 2 minute mark for the comments. I wanted to preset the video to then, but RealGM wouldn't display it when I did.

Again probably BS, but I'll jerk to that!

He literally just said he's hearing things from people, and that he doesn't think it's fair. Like, what a vague statement, that he immediately distances himself from too. Like, which people? Bitter Knicks/Celtics fans within the media, or legit sources that are close to the team? And why would it be unfair in that case, unless you know it's coming from people that wouldn't know what they're talking about?

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. the bold part kills me.

:crazy:

Stephen A was the first person to say that Kyrie was going to Brooklyn definitively, so dismissing him as a Kyrie source is actually dumb (for once).

SMH another high-profile injury. Also, vote Daniel Theis to the All-Star game.

The best part is, all the Kyrie die hards have either sulked into their caves or jumped on the Brooklyn boards. Can't wait for Durant to come back for them to implode even further.

Now this board can focus on all the positive aspects of this team. Chemistry, coaching, development. Not egos, fights, shot distribution. Wish Al was still here to play with this group.

I hated losing Horf, but I wonder how much better off we are with Kemba than him? I've never put a ton of value into the pg position; it's a wings and bigs league. But not paying a 33 yr old that kind of money is a good thing long term I'll say that.

Also, Nets fans can stick their head in the sand as much as they want with Kyrie. If he couldn't be a good teammate for a coach as easy to play for as Brad, then idk how you expect him to be happy anywhere. And tbh, I don't think Kyrie himself knows that either.
