I feel like it's an underrated achievement that Lebron managed to win a title with this fool

He is a ticking bomb, you don't know when he will go off.
LeBron was able to "manage" him for 3 years. I don't know if Lebron was lucky or if he did anything because after 3 years Kyrie went nuts.

A rookie Tatum almost went to the finals with him. Probably the only reason he didn't reach it was because Kyrie got injured, which is basically a flip coin with Irving. Lebron got a healthy Kyrie for 2/3 playoff runs. That is luck.

Lebron doesn’t win a title without him, period. Let’s not be silly now.

Facts show Lebron has won 3 without him. Don't be stupid and ignore the facts.

Kyrie epitome how the founding fathers wanted an average american to be, Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Can say the same thing about various nonstar players on a championship run. Doesn't mean they are good teammates overall.

Also I like how Harden is now apparently leaving because Kyrie is not vaccinated. The same guy who was partying in and out of strip clubs during lock downs.

I doubt he's really scared of Kyrie not being vaccinated. I mean who at this point hasn't had Covid? I don't even know anyone anymore that hasn't had it.

knocking on wood, but no one in my family had it so far.

How often do you guys get tested for no reason like the NBA? I would have never even known I had it if it wasn't for a mandatory testing before surgery.

I would imagine you've had it at some point and just don't know it. Especially if you have kids, I get emails daily from the schools about a new case and all 3 of my little ones have caught it as well.

You guys do know plenty of drugs get approved and cause damage resulting in huge lawsuits right? Sure you can trust the science (so sick of hearing that word every day lol) but that don't mean you're just 100% safe with whatever you put in your body.

You should read some history. Say, what Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson thought about vaccines. You'll be shocked.

How many of those cases occur after billions of people have received the medication and there have been literally hundreds of studies from all over the world from every level (big pharma, government, universities etc..)? How many of those cases did a side effect pop up over a year ore more after the last dose of the medication? (the answer to both those questions is zero)

You didn't respond to anything I said as far as being a good teammate and helping your team. I don't care about his vax status in a vacuum, I'm talking about the impact on his team. Regardless of the what or why, he's choosing to bail on his team and teammates.

Well I don't think he should have to make any medical decision based on anyone else's feelings. Unless you really think he's putting their lives in danger which clearly it makes no difference if they're all vaccinated and seem to all catch covid easily anyways.

His unvaccinated status changes nothing regarding anyone else's health.

It’s not about impact others health in this case. It’s about being available to play in games. Lol Christ try to keep up dude

I'm trying, but the goalposts keep moving

Everyone is so judgemental on this guy. I would bet most everyone in here has some sort of social awkwardness or mental Illness who could never handle the world in your personal life.

Most of these posters wake up with no other goal than to criticize and follow the daily life of these celebrities/athletes. That is the only way I can explain the passion they express for a person who does not know they exist.

Well they must not of known a whole lot about it considering everyone is still spreading it around vaccinated.

I mean can you show me where they said you still catch covid before everyone started taking it? I don't think everyone would have been real thrilled taking it had they originally known it doesn't even prevent you from catching it at all.

Now we'll just gloss over that and change the narrative to it's less dangerous with it. But I would imagine at this point more people have died since the vaccine has been out then before.

I could be wrong on that so you can correct me there if need be but I haven't noticed a slow down at all.

"The whitest thing of all" yeah no radical agendas with this one.

"The whitest thing of all" yeah no radical agendas with this one.

If by "radical agenda" you mean citing a string of actual historical documents and accounts, then yes, it's extremely radical.

[MotownMadness]

Kyrie is lucky he can play basketball otherwise he'd be some dude in a basement reading QAnon reddit forums all day

So he would become a RealGM poster

This thread is outside the boundaries of what we usually discuss on the NBA GB. Getting into detail about vaccination is frowned upon, just because in the past it's always led to threads going off the rails.

But I'm going to let this percolate for a bit. I've already personally taken part in it, so it would be kinda wack for me to tell anyone else to not talk about this stuff. But if it gets too heated I'm going to give myself a warning and lock the thread haha.

In the meantime, if you are bothered by the conversation, just look at at a different thread or whatever. Vaccine debate is not for everyone and we're keeping an eye on the discussion. Thanks.

I got tested yesterday, cause I had cold symptoms, but it was negative. You could be right that I might had it and I dont even know it, but honestly most people around me havent had it or at least dont know that they had it. I dont live in USA tho, we have a lot of cases here now, its getting bad, but I would still the people that for sure had it here is still less than half, at least.

So what was the need to include the word whitest?
