Kyrie: itt we discuss his latest horrible thing

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.

remember in the offseason when he was talking about him and kd managing the nets

Trade him to Turning Point USA

this fucking guy should meet up with this fucking guy

Personally, I’d love to see Kyrie in the purple and gold.

what could possibly go wrong

chefs kiss

Controversial NBA star Kyrie Irving appears to have deleted an apology he posted on social media in November, making amends for sharing antisemitic material online.https://t.co/Lmc2TDp8IB

very nice

Kyrie Irving on joining the Mavericks: “I feel really wanted.”

Asked about departing Brooklyn, he says, “There are times that I felt really disrespected.”

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

When Irving was asked if he stood by the apology, he said that he stands by "who I am and why I apologized."

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

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35622538/kyrie-irving-glad-kevin-durant-got-brooklyn

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?
