Yeah, we'll get another league that's the brainchild of Kyrie and it'll work.

Sure lol

Kyrie is a flat earth believer, who compared himself to MLK because the media was asking him to many questions.


He really isn't the one to look to for intelligent discourse on any subject.

Multiple members of the Brooklyn nets are denying this report entirely and this reporter is a hack but people making shit up to attack kyrie to undercut what hes actually saying on this issue is nothing new.

I thought he was concerned about health though. How does starting a new league address that?

Not an awful point - but is Kyrie really the guy to play a major role in pulling that off? He's a smart cat, but he's had a few issues.

OK Kyrie. Make up your mind. Is it health? Is it to help support the BLM movement? Or is it to start your own league that negates your concern for health and pays thousands instead of millions keeping players from contributing financially to the BLM movement? Because you're confusing the fuck out of me.

Kyrie sucks but the players do have power. They need to use it if they think this plan is going to threaten their health.

This is why it was so weird people saying that Kyrie of all people, was trying to stop NBA play because of the protests. The timing just doesn't make sense.

Now if the stoppage was because of health concerns, it'd make 100% sense. Florida really shit all over the NBA's plans.

The reason why this is getting crapped on is because of Lebron Stans. If Lebron proposed this, the same posters that are calling Kyrie an moron would be calling Lebron the new Malcolm X. I agree with Kyrie, now isn't the time for NBA.

That's not true. Avery Bradley isn't getting the same amount of hate because he is using this leverage in a way that actually seems helpful and will achieve results. Kyrie is the only member of the coalition making a whole ass of himself. Even Dwight has handled this better.

From everything I've seen on ESPN and such, its more about taking eyes off the movement happening right now than rona. Declining to play basketball to only start your own league to play basketball is out there.

With that said, if the reports are correct, then I'm finding that kind of silly. The NBA has a huge platform and people are thirsty for sports. Jerseys should have BLM's logos on them, the logo on the court should be BLM, they should bring up numbers and websites for places to donate to throughout the games. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

Avery Bradley isn't an Star player. Dwight Howard was getting hate this morning on the talk shows about this. Kyrie has become the poster child of not playing.
