Kyrie: itt we discuss his latest horrible thing

This thread is for discussing whatever Kyrie did today that excites our outrage or scorn. Put it here, so we can verbally pelt him with well-deserved vituperation. Then maybe can all enjoy talking about hoops in the NBA Regular Season thread again without all his bad vibes.

wild that the kyrie and kanye situations are happening simultaneously, its not great

i’m not sure they’re entirely disconnected

kyrie responding to a direct yes or no question about whether he is antisemitic https://t.co/EOoTxquMxg

— Patrick Cosmos (@veryimportant) November 3, 2022

they're maybe visiting the same places on the internet. it's not like BIPOC are immune to anti-semitism or haven't developed their own 'in-house' variations, so to speak.

ye has posted about kyrie a couple times in the past week now but im not sure there was a connection before that.

theres for sure a whole black anti semitic cosmology out there, tho it seems like kanye might be consuming the white version

oy what a putz

check out the black hebrew israelites if youve not before they represent being way down the line of what kyrie is talking about, i think theyre just in ny/philly/dc, they pull up to busy public spots parks or whatnot in their crazy outfits and just get in the most insane verbal fights with absolutely everyone, ive see them make people so fucking mad before, quite a spectacle

Kyrie's character arc the most fascinating thing I've ever seen.

In 6 years dude went from an All-Star NBA PG who has yacht parties with all white women & no black women in sight to a vegan, muslim, native american, flat earth anti-vaxer & antisemitic black hebrew israelite.

rip lil man

btw just like never read the replies on anything involving any of this bc it's bad for your mind and senses

not reading the replies has been sound practice since there were replies, and yet... lol

I'm assuming he said he was going to give an unqualified apology and then he went off on that lengthy "i'm not saying i'm just saying" hedge
Anyways, see ya later pal.

ive seen so many bad replies and tweets today.

i dont have to apologize when you realize im apologizeless

wonder why udoka would want to walk into this, lay low for a bit rehab yr image, someone will give you another shot

the nets don't deserve credit for much at this point but that statement is pretty good

totally agree on udoka, he could just take a year off and get a normal job and everyone would be fine with it. but if he tries with these guys and they crash and burn he's done as a head coach.

i won't listen to him talk but he must have just killed it today

The ADL is no longer accepting the $500,000 from Kyrie Irving, per the organization’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.

- The nets

pretty lame stuff from KD. i actually thought kyrie's apology was fairly heartfelt, if still a bit defensive. you could at least tell he wrote it himself w/ the typos and such

kinda interesting that these guys really dont want to play the pr game, almost have to respect it except for the fact that theyre doing terribly and cant admit that fake hitler quotes are bad

the way to not play the pr game is the way marshawn lynch played it which now he's spun into a post playing career / money stream

yeah part of the problem is the kyrie and kd are grumpy and unlikable where marshawn is cool and charming also i dont think he ever got into any hitler shit

yeah sorry not that part of it just more the i dont want to be here answering these dumb questions (about the game i just played or whatever) part. kd chose grumpiness instead of being the fun loving guy he was early on

KD smokes a lot of weed too I can see him just being like "nah I don't wanna talk about this, peace and love xoxo Ringo"

i actually thought kyrie's apology was fairly heartfelt

my take is that he finally 'got' the fact that there was genuine hurt he caused and he's sorry about that. but it also sounds like he'll consider this belated apology is enough to 'make it all better', letting him just slough it off as something over and done. His belief in his own 'research' won't be altered by it and his reckless clueless behavior will continue on its merry way.

really smart time to post something vague like this

Can’t even tell the truth no more

— kuz (@kylekuzma) November 4, 2022

folks I hate to break this to you but kyrie did not write that apology. we’ll see how well he expresses himself when he’s in front of the mic again

ok maybe the typos make it less likely it was some
PR flak, but the near-180 in less than 24 hours doesn’t scream sincerity to me. but I guess I’ve never had that kind of money on the line

its a single tiny step in the right direction but he's kyrie so two steps back will be coming soon enough

— NBACentral (@TheNBACentral) November 4, 2022

Lol why would anyone believes he somehow means it now? He's made it very apparent how he feels

i think he's made it known that he doesn't want to be pushed around by the media or mainstream society or whatever. i'm actually not sure how he really feels about much of anything. it's all this shell game w/ him, the "just asking questions" of it all

it's curious to me that the owner of the team has no ability to speak to one of his star players beyond sending him unanswered texts

what’s curious about it?

idk you’d think they’d be able to get the owner and player in the same room together. they do work at the same office after all

he does have one way suspend him until he talks to him

"From what I've been told, Joe Tsai is completely done with him (Kyrie)."

(the best shoe for hooping imo)

who had "multiple shoe companies will release prominent celebrity spokespeople following anti-semitic twitter rants" on their 2022 bingo card

Avdija's teammate, meanwhile, the Wizards' Kyle Kuzma, addressed a tweet he sent on Friday that said, "can't even tell the truth no more." He said it was taken out of context and was in reference to a personal matter and not Irving's situation.

"Probably a product of wrong place, wrong time, for sure," Kuzma said. "Obviously, anyone who knows me, knows my character, I'm all about peace and love. I don't condone any discrimination or hate of any race, religion, politician, whatever you want to call it. But just unfortunate in the world we live in and how we all don't think the same."

James acknowledged Irving's apology, but pushed back at Irving's initial argument that he was not promoting the documentary by sharing its title and streaming information on his social media platforms.

"He caused some harm, and I think it's unfortunate," James said. "But I don't stand on the position to harm people when it comes to your voice or your platform or anything. So it doesn't matter what color your skin is, how tall you are, what position you're in. If you are promoting or soliciting or saying harmful things to any community that harms people, then I don't respect it. I don't condone it."

How tall you are, whether you’re a shooting guard or power forward, your ball handling abilities

whether it comes from gheorge muresan or muggsy bogues, hate has not place in our game

so youre a big man who cant rebound we all have our strengths and weakness and thats what makes life so beautiful

kuz really flirting with danger, him bringing sage to his press conference doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that the tweet wasn’t kyrie related

man theres so much woowoo in the world right now everyones getting into it

these athletes are like fucking scientologists man, thinking their dumb millionaire asses are special and beyond question or reproach

yeah the kuz excuse is not convincing

wow, did not know that about royce white at all. "mental health" as a meme has taken some pretty wild turns over the last decade

Phil knight fwiw has basically single handedly tilted the Oregon governor’s race to an extreme maga candidate because he really really hates environmental regulations so I mean I agree fuck phil knight prob different reasons though

will he complete the checklist y/n

There’s a ‘feeling’ that Brooklyn’s remedial measures list was crafted with the knowledge that Kyrie Irving would be unlikely to complete all six items and could lead to a potential outright release 😳

if that's the case i assume they'd be trying to release him for cause or whatever and take back his money bcuz it's not like they need a public pretense to cut him if that's what they really want to do

just dropping by to say Clay otm, fuck Phil Knight forever

seriously

however warranted, making up a checklist and trying to get out of paying him because he didn't tick each box doesn't seem realistic

yeah suspect the checklist isnt in his contract

I'm getting a sense the owner got pretty pissed Kyrie didn't return his calls/texts.

billionaires not used to being ignored

Wonder abt the motive too, like maybe the nets were worried they’d cut ties with him and then he’d immediately “do the work” and a rival team would have a clear conscience in signing him. Maybe they’re thinking if he doesn’t follow thru he’ll prove to other teams he’s unmanageable?

seeing as how I did not follow my own guiding principles and I have been Reading The Comments I can say that many reply guy lakers fans think kyrie orchestrated the is whole thing from the beginning to get cut so he can sign with LA and win another one with bron

the idea of kyrie "orchestrating" any part of his life is lol

"I'm expecting the NBPA to appeal the suspension from Brooklyn. The terms, etc., that went into his return. The terms for his return, they seem like a lot, and a lot of the players expressed discomfort with the terms."

I get the sense a lot of NBA players don't think antisemitism is a big deal

are there any good docs on the early days of organized basketball because, uh

they may not. but for better or worse it's the union's job to protect kyrie from stuff that isn't in his contract

yeah you cant let ownership just decide that players need to do x number of tasks they just made up, preventing that is basically the point of a union

if tsai want to try to terminate kyries contract for cause he should just do that, the list of demands is pretty silly doesnt particularly make anyone look good

and tbf theyre not good lol

tsai just wants to get in the ring with him and win a round, good luck i guess lol

hes mad kyrie isnt acknowledging his billionaire boss status

the final condition is that you must say i am the big boy around here

it probably wouldn’t be that hard to drag this suspension/grievance thing out until his contract is up if that’s what they want to do

its crazy that this guys on his high horse but was/is gonna hire udoka lol

i’m thinking that if that was going to happen it would have happened by now

the way it leaked feels more and more like a trial balloon to see what the reaction would be

well if they're jettisoning kyrie it's not like they need a special coach to guide them to mediocrity

possibly even if they weren't

when he texts kyrie gm he has to text back gm

occurs to me that the owner getting into a big public beef with a player is prob not great for the long term health of the org

agreed, but . . . what other options did the owner have?

particularly with adam silver in a deep slumber

i think you could suspend him do whatever you need to but tsai is really out there in the media being the face of this situation, and then this list of demands is just not a good look, its totally understandable that hes mad but prob would be better to keep it professional

whole thing was sloppy shouldve just suspended kyrie as soon as it happened, then made sure he did a good apology

yeah it's prob an overcorrection bc it got drawn out in the news for a whole week and nobody did anything about it

i think it's a perfectly fine list of demands for trying to do something about a valuable employee who is an antisemite, but going to be tough going in public with the nbapa involved

idk might be worth reviewing the work of the adl before forcing a donation

Didn't the adl post something refusing to accept any donation from him anyway?

ok yeah not the ADL bit fair point

yeah he was going to give them 500k then after the bad press conference they said no then giving them 500k was on the list anyway, again just not a really solid process

they'll happily take the money once he's apologized sufficiently &etc but there are obv countless other better orgs doing good work in the name of the jewish people xps

im generally skeptical of corporate sensitivity training type shit but who knows maybe put kyrie in a room with a jew who can explain to him why spreading fake hitler quotes is hurtful, i dont get the impression hes a particularly committed antisemite, tho with all the conspiracy stuff hes into he def could be

cld also show him a map regarding why biblical jews were prob not black

he's committed to fearlessly asking questions, and there's no real response to that

what if hitler said some stuff in a secret document in an undisclosed location

tbh he'll prob just get bored of the antisemitism thing and move on to some other garbage that he reads one paragraph about

seems well on his way transitioning from basketball star to . . . poster

and it'll be cancel culture run amok when joe tsai pays him $40m to simply not play basketball

gonna be bad to watch everyone say he posted a link to a movie and now hes out of the league when really if he doesnt find another team its cause he was a huge pain in the ass for years

by now tsai must be rather used to paying him not to play basketball. it's almost a tradition.

hes done so much shit that people have totally forgotten he went awol a couple years ago

there was an anonymous gm questionnaire in the atlantic today and they were all sure that hed get another shot on a short contract but they were also sure it wouldnt be them who gave it to him so idk

lol basketball nimbyism

- laments that when others make racist comments, people leap to defend their character and all but excuse what they did, which is then exactly what he does for kyrie
- tries to point out that when don imus makes racist comments, people just forget about it and no one makes don imus go to meetings, when imus’s show was canceled the next day and within two days he had a meeting with the rutgers coach at the NJ governor’s mansion. all things that could be refreshed in one’s memory just by visiting wikipedia

obviously there are gross undertones to all of this kyrie shit but it seems like people with things to lose should be running their statements by lawyers before opening their dumb mouths

Is this the last days of people ruining their lives by posting on Twitter?

kinda weird he put that on twitter instead of instagram, guess its indicative of him being a media guy rather than a player

Hedging my bets to assume kyrie thinks the flat earth coverup and vaccine murder squads are not specific to any one religion, but fair pt.

he has made jew specific comments fwiw its what that last fandango was all about, obvs hard to keep track with the work kyrie puts in

Oh I know that, I suppose it’s worth pointing out more specifically. Swear I saw an espn story along the lines of “nets winning behind kyrie’s leadership” which is sort of the “Bobby Hull made team ambassador” of headlines.

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has told the franchise that he wants to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Irving had previously requested to be sign-and-traded ahead of the season, sources said, before deciding to opt into the final year of his four-year max contract.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35583014/source-kyrie-irving-asks-nets-trade-ahead-deadline

what can you say, the man is in the zone

It will probably be necessary to invent an imaginary team in order to complete that trade.

lick an electric fence, dilweed

what a fucking child

"I wish to be respected for my childish dick-headedness."

Kyrie: “I just know I want to be places where I’m celebrated and not just tolerated or kind of dealt with in a way that doesn’t make me feel respected. There were times throughout this process when I was in Brooklyn where I felt very disrespected (1/2)”pic.twitter.com/EFkwW3D9ib

He wasn’t! There were good reasons! He missed half his games, just to name one!

if I missed half my days of work I think I would get fired

God I hope some reporter asks him why he deleted his apology, please let it happen

counting on his drunk driving domestic abuser coach to keep him accountable

he was asked about deleting the post. "I delete a lot of things on my Instagram," Irving said. "I've had things that have happened before in my life, probably not as drastic as that moment, which led to a lot of confusion and uncertainty I felt like about what I meant and what I stand for. I had to sit up with these mics and explain to the world who I am, and I know who I am. I delete things all the time, and it's no disrespect to anyone within the community. Just living my life."

When Irving was asked if he stood by the apology, he said that he stands by "who I am and why I apologized." He did not tell reporters when he deleted the post or why, specifically, he chose to do so aside from explaining that he deletes posts frequently. He then went on to criticize the media for the way it covered the incident.

"I did it because I care about my family, and I have Jewish members of my family that care about me deeply. Did the media know that beforehand when they called me that word, antisemitic? No. Did they know anything about my family? No. Everything was assumed, everything was put out before I had anything to say, and I reacted instead of responding emotionally maturely. I didn't mean to be defensive or go at anybody, so I stand by my apology and I stand by my people, everywhere, all walks of life, all races, all religions, same thing."

what a dishrag

I have Jewish members of my family

iirc, he tweeted that he considers everyone who bought his signature shoe to be family.

thought he could go to dallas and escape these questions? lol

damn this takes me back to 2022

this dude is so bad I do not like him

this dude has the shamelessness required to be a regular OANN contributor

just waiting for him to say "last time i checked we had a little thing in this country called freedom of speech, look it up" and a bunch of #hesrunning posts

I’m still back on when he said into a microphone that he thought the Earth was flat

Someone goes public with that, throw them in the trash because there is an entire mountain of dumbshit garbage that this about to explode from them

he seems to be at the same point Kanye was right before he went Death Con 3 on the Jews

Kyrie Irving, off to a successful start with the Dallas Mavericks, said he is happy that former teammate Kevin Durant also is no longer a member of the Brooklyn Nets.

Irving told reporters late Wednesday night that he is "glad that [Durant] got out of there" just minutes after ESPN reported the Nets had agreed to trade the former NBA MVP to the Phoenix Suns.

The blockbuster trade officially marks the end of the Nets' superstar experiment centered on Irving, Durant and James Harden. Brooklyn dealt Irving to Dallas this past Sunday, ending the star guard's turbulent 3½ seasons with the Nets while also setting the stage for Durant's final days with the franchise.

"I'm just praying for [Durant's] happiness, praying for his well-being," Irving said after leading the Mavericks to a victory over the Clippers in his debut with his new team. "We had a lot of conversations throughout the year of what our futures were going to look like.

"There was still a level of uncertainty, but we just cared about seeing each other be places that we can thrive -- whether that be together, whether that be apart."

stomping out the cigarette

big nymag kyrie piece https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/kyrie-irving-traded-to-dallas-mavericks-brooklyn-nets.html

worth reading?

i only started it but the first few paragraphs are about him talking new age nonsense on twitch when his wife calls and suggests he spend less than two hours on the virtual reality so it seems pretty good

yeah i think it has a couple interesting angles

Kyrie switched from NBA 2K23 to Call of Duty: Black Ops, and as he picked off Nazi zombie hounds, he told his viewers to put an infinity sign in the chat to connect with one another. “I’m built to lead a tribe,” he said. “Yes, I’m going to be one of the greatest basketball players ever to do it. That’s cemented. But I’m also going to be remembered as having a great community … I’m going to impact way more people when I’m done playing basketball than I will playing it.” Less than five months later, Irving would immolate the Nets.

Irving eventually apologized and returned to the bleak gray-on-gray of the Barclays Center hardwood in late November.

this guy gets it

Irving’s alienation from the mainstream was evident and also indiscriminate. “What’s going on now in our world is blatant. What’s going on now in Jackson, Mississippi — a lot of stuff is blatant.” He was referring to news of the city’s tainted water supply. “They’re not hiding it anymore,” he continued. “Movies that praise all these demonic forces. And video games. And all these symbols.”

Deep into the livestream, Irving took a call from his wife, Marlene Wilkerson, a YouTuber who posts about health and spirituality. She was pregnant with their second son, whom they would name Elohim. Irving joked that he couldn’t be disturbed. “When 2K comes out, I’m on the journey with the fellas,” he told her.

“Who’s on the chat?” Wilkerson asked.

“Nah, it’s just Twitch chat,” Irving said a little sheepishly, as if he’d been caught talking to an imaginary friend. She mumbled something about maybe spending “less than two hours on the virtual reality” and hung up.

naming your kid elohim is in itself problematic but whatever not my battle

just a thing kyrie did whatever

Kyrie's wife being a wellness YouTuber solves a few mysteries.

Heh, you ain’t kidding

my first thought as well lmao

makes u think

He should probably think less, we'd all be better off.

lol @ these middle school ass memes

much thinking to do

tfw you wrote a bunch of stuff with your giant pencil head but then a bunch of giant eraserheads erased what you wrote

he's right though, it's fucked up that we have to pay to use our own pens

this guy really just says a whole lotta of nothing while contradicting himself from one sentence to the next

Kyrie Irving explains his 2022 comments about managing Nets w/ Joe Tsai & Sean Marks: “I would just love more of a shared responsibility if we’re going to be building a future here. They gave me all the right answers… I just wanted to bring in some great guys. I know cohesion.” pic.twitter.com/wQR92YjfwS

lmao @ “they gave me all the right answers , ‘yes, yes, yes’” and the bit about how Dallas values the consistency he brings to teams

lol yup. I wanna know who the "just want to bring in some great guys" guys are. is he talking about players he was recruiting? is he talking about his entourage? family?

that style of speech where one thought is always interrupting another doesnt seem super corolated with great mental health
