hahahahaha

what an utter piece of shit

Piece of work

Kyrie Irving yells "change your life, bro" after @NickFriedell pushes him on the antisemitic rhetoric in the movie. Says "I wish we cared more about Black reproductive rights and all the things that actually matter than what I'm posting."

Props to friedell for being persistent

Wow the comments in Kevin’s post smh

I hate him

More of it

Kyrie first proclaims:
“I’m in a unique position to have a level of influence on my community.”

Less than a minute later, Irving states: “I am no different than any other human being… You guys come in here and make up this powerful influence I have.”pic.twitter.com/ASrfcxjNJ0

Have him and Aaron Rodgers hooked up yet?

I half expect Kyrie is just gonna retire like mid interview some day or mid game or something

I would be extremely fine with never seeing or hearing from kyrie again, he should make that happen

"i went onto amazon prime and said let me see if there are any documentaries on yahweh"
you are playing in BROOKLYN you nudnik

what fn loser

I am an OMNIST and I meant no disrespect to anyone’s religious beliefs. The “Anti-Semitic” label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday. I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.

i meant no disrespect by posting a video that says jews worship satan but also that video is true

what a vile stupid motherfucker, my god

dime a dozen. so many dudes with exactly this level of lazy entitlement

Kyrie is such a piece of shit that his negative creep energy prob is just a huge drain on that squad

It’s just overall really depressing. I can protect my kid from the kyries of the world but can I always protect him forever from the people who will be all heart emojis at what he says?

kyrie performing his version of Lydia Tár guest lecturing at Juilliard is powerful stuff

Kyrie appoints himself a voice of the voiceless then takes offense and deflects and runs whenever asked to elaborate on his commentary. Dude is a joke. A clown. And hasn't done a damn thing noteworthy on the court since 2016. Just a QAnon Monta Ellis at this point

I know Kd follows dragon fly or used to. Wonder what he’s thinking about all this

lol qanon monte ellis

qanon monte ellis

deft jab. i lolled.

Lmao at the comment calling him Allen Ivermectin

Ahahahahah

i know it's early but donovan mitchell in cleveland looks good af. averaging career highs and starting off 5-1.

anyone know what the reporting on this is btw? my guess is that he’s pretty popular with his teammates

i didn't know kyrie is a VP of the player's union? maybe he should absolutely not be a VP of the player's union?

this nuggets-lakers game features what are probably the 2 best 35+ year old in-game dunkers in jeff green and lebron, is anyone else in that conversation?

dude missed a boatload of games to protest vaccine requirements which caused the Nets to stretch themselves thin and lose a bunch of winnable games, drop to the 7 seed, and get swept in round 1. I wouldn't be surprised if someone guys were holding a grudge

35-year-old vince a few years back?

xp

right I mean right now tho

apparently kanye posted a pic of kyrie on his instagram and said "there's some real ones out there"

humiliating last 3 minutes of the third quarter form
the nuggets, not sure what malone was thinking with that lineup

it doesnt sound like myles turner thinks the lakers should trade for him

Should the Lakers give up the two picks? Full audio of Pacers center Myles Turner on The Woj Pod: https://t.co/yP00bwvnMZ pic.twitter.com/GZvSg9BLyp

the last two Bucks games I went to featured halftime shows by Vanilla Ice and Arrested Development. I'm not a particular fan of either but still I thought that was really cool

horseshoes were talking about a game of horseshoes

it was 90s night at the suns game i went to. they are clearly trying to keep the millenials coming. that boomer money is gonna dry up sooner than later.

that myles clip hes like please i want no part of that team thx but no

90s nights work. i have a bunch of pistons fan friends who were ecstatic for the return of those teal uniforms.

i miss grant hill and jerry stackhouse as much as the next guy, but there's a reason why they switched away from that color scheme lol

those uniforms are... notable lol, them and the pinstriped pajamas rockets ones

yea Bucks were wearing the purple uniforms and while I like their current ones much better it was definitely cool to see them in person wearing the uniforms you remember when you were a kid

actually the 90s night theme was pretty cool. its the little touches, like switching the organ to some vaguely SNES-like "Pump Up the Jam" synth. all the little references to NBA Jam too. made me feel kinda old but I still appreciated it lol

BOOM shakalaka!!!

I really would hate to find out some NBA players “actually he has a point” re: Kyrie though I’m sure some harbor similar brain dead thoughts. Would like to hear some players or even idk Kerr or Pop speak out against it and not just an owner.

Yeah, the relative silence about it around the league is disheartening. I'm not a big Richard Jefferson fan but it was great to see someone who had won a ring with Kyrie call him out over it.

its kinda hard to call out a current player, especially one who generally plays at an All-Star level. also I suspect most around the league aren't brain damaged enough to even know what weirdo conspiracies Kyrie are pushing.

yeah players just dont do that

also as noted hes the players association vp
