Kyrie Irving claps back at Kevin Durant over Brooklyn Nets comments

[RoteSchroder]

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

imagine being in 2025 and thinking it's the Chinese that are killing Muslims and blacks

pretty sure you don't want to go over this on the general board

They most certainly are in Burma (now Mynamar) and Joe Tsai as a part owner who endorses what is happening over there is a very bad look for the NBA and needs to be called out for it.

Unfortunately the last player who had the moral fibre and courage to call out China and their massive genocidal regimes was Enes Kanter who was soon blacklisted from the NBA for speaking out against them and their enablers Nike.

I know politics is a sore spot for some, and I definitely don't have an issue with Chinese people general, they were probably the first non British settlers in my country Australia and they have made an invaluable contribution to my country, culture and its economy (the Chinese History Museum in Bendigo is absolutely amazing and brilliant)

I am sorry but as a Muslim myself the on going silence about what is on going in Mynamar actually upsets me more than what is happening in the Middle East (which is a very complex and difficult issue altogether)

Jaylen Brown is also blacklisted from representing the USA (like Kyrie was) for speaking out against Nike and their tasteless links with the Chinese Regime as well as sweatshops.

I think its important to keep raising such matters and discussing it within the relevant framework of such discussions which to be honest is a bit flimsy with this thread and Kyrie's supposedly clapping back on Kevin Durant (which doesn't seem to have much substance at this point right now to be honest)

Will this clapping back change the past for the Nets?

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.

Yep I remember. Cancel culture took an L on that one and hasn't recovered since.

Considering Kyrie has been a boyscout since that incident, and kept his crap to himself, it seems to me it him the has not recovered.

Earth still not flat

Kyrie was probably happy and he knew it...

Why are we writing topics to farm engagement? this is weird. nobody here is getting paid. its not twitter.

[tsherkin]

Kyrie hasn't said anything yet. There is no drama at the moment, only a note that he'll address the subject in his stream. This is nothing. It should be interesting to hear what he has to say, though.

This definitely WAS the case. Whether or not it is still occurring in 2025 is anyones guess.

Unless your alluding to the fact that you dont think it was occurring at all. Which I would tell you to maybe do some basic research

Maybe you’re the one who needs to do some basic research

1. Since the 1990’s, America recruited and trafficked Chinese Uyghurs to Turkey, radicalizing them in the Middle East/Afghanistan, having them train with ISIS, then sending them back to Xinjiang, China to murder Chinese civilians.

2. China ramped up restriction in the province to no avail, until 2017 when they introduced the re-education centers, where they taught “problematic” Uyghurs the Chinese language and the law. The ones directly a part of terrorist plots were jailed.

3. CIA-controlled media, their NGO’s and online sock puppets went on a worldwide campaign to spread disinformation, portraying the Chinese as “genociding” Muslims.

I have plenty of receipts if you want to go there, but do you really want to wake up the normies?

This reminds me of WWE when the two wrestlers arent going to actually face off just jabber back in forth to build up the hype

What is this? Where did Kyrie clap back?

He's a Nation of Islam Muslim, though. Nation of Islam is to Islam what Scientology is to Christianity. A quick glance at the doctrine of Yakub will make the difference pretty clear

Kyrie is not a member of the NOI. He's a standard Muslim.

And Scientology isn't related to Christianity in anyway unlike the NOI being an offshoot on Islam practiced by the majority of the Muslim community.

Yea, Scientology is neither Christian or Science, lol

This is KD a 30 year old child that only cares about the way he likes to ball but not what he needed to do to win. God he is lucky to have 2 rings shoot over guards and running fast breaks with nobody near him. Lol

Not true. It's science... FICTION.

I never liked Kyrie disrespecting Nash like that. It's one of those things that fine to think but you don't need to go public like that. Thats disrespectful and Nash didn't deserve that. It wasn't one person's fault why BKN didn't work out but if you have to name one person Kyrie is at the top of the list
