Solid stance

Did they really return the donation? I can't find anything online about it. Brilliant if they did.

EDIT: just found it.

Actually, Kyrie started sabotaging the team from day one by not cooperating with Nets biometric tracking, which was reported on by NetsDaily at the time. There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that that was just one of many such incidents hushed up since then.

For example:
Advance scouts have extensive knowledge of opposing team play calls, and I heard from one club that, in one of Nash’s final games, there were in the ballpark of 10 easy-to-spot occasions that Kyrie ran something completely different after Nash shouted the play he wanted. --Marc Stein

So he's been getting special treatment from day one, and over time I suspect it significantly undermined Marks' original culture of 'all-parts of the team act with integrity and are accountable for.'


For a KD like talent that's 100% worth it. For Kyrie it's not.

I'm not going to act like the Raptors didn't give Kawhi special treatment when he was here. There was hiring that guy that Kawhi wanted and of course his uncle.

Let's also not act like Lebron didn't get the same when he was with the Cavs and now the Lakers. Superstars get superstar treatment because of what they bring to the team. (yes, KD brought Kyrie but that's a separate thing, that yes, KD gets his share of blame for)

Kyrie is not one of those types of players though, a real superstar, never was.

Took way to long for this to come about, but good that it came about in the end. Kyrie can't just help but continue to **** up and its about time the team said enough is enough.

Still mad we didn't just blow the whole thing up in the offseason though. But that's a discussion for another thread.

It's bigger than basketball. We're talking about people's lives here.

You think those new threats to New Jersey synagogues are a coincidence?

When public figures normalize this kind of behavior it sets off a snowball down a hill scenario where people begin to feel emboldened to express their hatred. It leads to violence.

What more would a white supremacist want than to see Black people and Jewish people at each other's throats. This game has been played for years and ass wipes like Kyrie and Kanye are doing them a huge favor

It's more than just a case of superstar treatment, though. It's constantly undermining the team and causing disruptions.

I believe that Kyrie crossed the line multiple times that others like LeBron, Kawhi and even KD are way smarter than to fall prey to.

Wait... it's even worse than that, apparently. I hadn't quite realised just how much of an antisemite he actually was until someone pointed it out just now. See this gallery of four tweets: (source)

What Kyrie has done is quite artful.

Both Celtic and Net fans bought the cool aid because he's an All Star and on their team and so they defended him, and he's successfully managed to turn every single fanbase that defended him and turn them against him.

Yeah that is 100% Black Hebrew Israelite ideology. The use of the term "filth".

So again, Black Israelites believe that Hitler viewed Black people as the world's "crown jewel".

Google what "Rhineland Bastards" and the "Rheinlandbastarde" were in Germany following The French Occupation of WW1. Afro Germans that were rounded up and sterilized.

For anyone to think that Hitler cared about Black people is absolutely insanity and Kyrie should be institutionalized if he believes so.

Hitler imo was one of the top 5 racist people of all time, recorded in history anyways.

He lived in a time when racism was much more rampant and accepted, and still caused an entire World War over his views because of how utterly evil and racist they were. When a society who lived in a racist time agrees that the man needs to be stopped because of his views, it says something.

Didn't know Kyrie was a follower of Louis Farrakhan, but not all that shocked to see that he is. Farrakhan is a piece of garbage that, by his own admission, had a hand in killing a true black revolutionary in Malcolm X. That so many of these supposed "truth-tellers" and "leaders" such as Kyrie and Kanye spout the same antisemetic bull as Farrakhan is so detrimental not just to Jewish communities, but to black communities as well.

The Nets play the Wizards tomorrow and every player on the Nets has to face the media. LOL

Best teammate in the world Kyrie is. This is the worst thing I've ever seen in the NBA.

The Bulls may have been Kyrie's last game for the Nets. I don't see any team trading for him. If he is released, KD will want out too.

If that happens this franchise is finished. Brooklyn cannot attract talent. Kyrie is the only one that actually wants to be here (unfortunately). Harden wanted out and so did KD.

The post KI/KD era is going to be long and painful.

It's times like these I miss David Stern. This would never have happened under his watch. It would have been just a private call to Kyrie. He had that kind of relationship with the players. He protected them and their image. Adam Silver has a bad habit of airing dirty laundry in public and it's not helping the NBA.

Meh. The reason why the war started was because of geopolitics not because some holy purpose of fighting one racism or evil. Winston Churchill was just as big of racist as Hitler was. Heck Ghandi was quite racist himself. As you said it was pretty norm in those times. Where Hitler stepped over the line was geopolitics not the idealogy.
