Where the Kyrie Superthread at?

[Shanemansj13]

So, Kyrie is never playing for Brooklyn again, right?

Hopefully that isn’t true. Hopefully he suffers in BKN with no rings and an organization that doesn’t take him seriously

Basically the shoe is finally on the other foot with Irving. He is the best the league has ever seen at getting out of work, while still getting paid for some of it. He can have all the time off he wants, but won’t get paid a penny this time.

Still don't know. There's nothing super about this thread.

Not really. He's suspended for a minimum of 5 games. He has a list of things he has to accomplish before he will be allowed back.

Apologies will be just fine

Ouch. That statement didn't say "don't be racist or descriminate", it just says "don't get caught on social media". Not the best look...

Not sure about that. I thought it was a good enough statement that addressed the problem without being overly dogmatic.
He's the player rep....and ftr, I'm not in any way passing the buck here, but how the league pursues this is more for Adam Silver & the BOG's to handle.

"First of all, condemning antisemitism is important," McCollum said. "I believe in social justice, not just for Black people but for everyone. This is a social justice issue. This is a social justice situation that is continuing to be addressed. I think now we're heading in the direction of addressing it appropriately."

And yet, that's the best we can hope for, for some people.

Some folks are all, "no, we can't accept that! You've got to move past your bigotry!"

I'm like, "fuck em...don't waste your time on lost causes"

I don’t really care much for Kyrie, but all he did was post a link to a movie. He did not say nor do anything else from my understanding. Would he get the same backlash if he posted a link to the Jeffrey Dahmer movie? Would he now be considered someone who supports a serial killing rapist as well?

The guy has said some dumb stuff, but this time the media is taking it too far.

It’s a lot more than that. He was given multiple chances to disavow the movie and he wouldn’t do it. He has finally been a little too smart for his own good. Take all the time off you want, no one cares anymore.

Thought he had to go thru sensitivity training and sit down with actual Jews?

I wonder if he can swallow his pride and get through it......he thinks he is the smartest guy in the room because he is rich and can play basketball.....having other people explain things to him just might be beyond the pale of his stubborness.....

plus- I think he really really believes the conspiracy theories and crack pot ideas he is espousing.

I don’t see him being capable tbh. Too self absorbed.

Great stipulations from the franchise imo.

On a related note: Michigan’s Donovan Edwards tweeted some retarded Kanye inspired Jewhate the other day. The University’s solution: he’s going to the Holocaust Museum, with a bunch of Jews. Which seems like a wonderful way to open a young man’s eyes to the perspective of others.

Kyrie Irving suspension: Jaylen Brown says NBPA has issues with requirements for Nets guard's reinstatement

Jaylen Brown expects NBPA to fight conditions of Kyrie Irving’s Nets ban

Expect the NBPA — the players’ union — to fight Nets star Kyrie Irving’s suspension over promoting an anti-Semitic movie.

nypost.com

Looks like Jaylen Brown at least agrees with me. They’re going way too far with this.

Why is this movie up for everybody to see on Amazon. Why is Amazon not catching any flak for this and why is Kyrie all of a sudden antisemitic for posting a link to the movie? Imagine Luka Doncic posting the link to the Roots mini series on social media and all of sudden being asked if he’s racist.

I’m pretty certain many others are on his side as well but are choosing their words carefully as a way to avoid the backlash.

Lmao the President of the players union has already spoke on the matter. Irving is on an island

I was judging by the link, not the actual article. Not a great sell job by that link.

So just wanted to update everyone: since the trade with the Mavericks, Dallas has gone 5-9 with Kyrie, and have slid to 9th place in the West.

And after Luka got hurt he started missing games for personal reasons and now it has turned into an injury without playing again.

did not make the playoffs. Shocked.
