I don't know about anything else y'all are talking about, but it's a problem that y'all think y'all own celebrities/entertainers. His on court performance is what we pay for. He doesn't owe any of us anything. I think he should talk to the media, it's a part of his job, but I also think the owners/NBA have a responsibility to have the media keep it about his job instead of always trying to pull out headlines.
Kyrie has issues and there is no question, the media/we try to exploit them. People would rather see him lose his **** than see him do what he thinks is best for himself, because you think of him as property/superhuman instead of a flawed human like the rest of us. I don't care if they give him a billion dollars, he's still a human!
You don't have to like him, I'm not a fan myself, but some of this vitriol is out of pocket. I don't care what any of you say, y'all are taking things too far on kyrie and it's sickening to see. Step back, look at it, he hasn't hurt you!
He can do whatever he wants, he's just an insane person with zero self awareness. There is no NBA with no media coverage. So if you want to be some dumbass like Kyrie and not talk to the media, and talk about playing this sport for the purity of it, the art of it, etc., you just aren't being very reasonable. If you want to play the sport for the purity of it or whatever, quit the NBA and go play with some guys at LA Fitness. I have no vitriol with Kyrie; I think he's hilarious.
He owes none of us anything, but if he wants to be paid half a billion dollars in his lifetime from a sport that is only that large because of obligations he doesn't want to partake in, he's a **** ****. But again, I don't really care, I just enjoy some of the **** he says because none of it is based in reality.
If he really cared he could take the 25k and donate himself to a charity. Or you know use the platform you have with the media to address social issues that you care about. He just so self absorbed.

Was going to post this after he looked good yesterday, BUT who would Boston have cut for his spot.. I would have cut Semi, though different positions.

I don’t know his stats over the years but he looks like a ball hog with terrible court vision. I know he’s a bucket getter but man i dunno, he may not be a team guy.

Apparently Kyrie doesn't know this.
But, you can be Checkmated by a Pawn.
And in the Game of Chess, there are 8 Pawns, to each side.
It's actually the most prevalent piece.
And it can be elevated to a Queen (it's the only piece that can do that), once it gets to the other side.
It's a mistake to think that a Pawn, or a Person, is inconsequential.
Anyone who thinks otherwise, is generally the Loser.
