NFT: Kyrie Irving

DCOrange : 1/11/2021 6:10 am
How is there not more uproar about this guy not playing? How does he get away this nonsense? Does he realize his quitting on his team is making zero difference in the overall conversation? If you want to make a political statement, make a political statement. You don't just skip games.

He's an ass. Everyone knows people like this in their personal lives and they're insufferable. He lives in his own mind where he does nothing wrong.


Same guy who threatened to have knee surgery if Cleveland didn't trade him. It' a long season but this is a mess for Brooklyn especially coupled with Dinwiddie's injury.
Durant just seems like he's overly sensitive and thin-skinned

Irving is a weirdo, a very talented weirdo who I wouldn't want to have to rely on for anything.

No surprise from one of the most self-involved, two-faced jackasses in sports.

Durant is a great player, but he's a dolt for hitching his wagon to this clown.

Yes, KD is super, super sensitive.

Irving...he's just on a different level. I too wouldn't count on this dude for anything. And if I was a Net player/coach/fan, I'd be super pissed off with him.

The main thing separating Kyrie from Marbury is that one of them played with LeBron. This is just ridiculous. I feel bad for Durant and Nash.

Him partying with family and on a zoom to support a Manhattan DA candidate. In their own respect they’re two things he’s allowed to do, but it seems as if he made the choice to do those things instead of the job he’s being paid for. Rubs people the wrong way. Perhaps this is the reason he wanted back to NY\NJ and not the Brooklyn culture or winning a championship? And before your shoot the messenger I am myself a Net fan.

Bottom line, I’d do a dance if they can find a way to get rid of him.

Marbury was a selfish prick but you could rely on him to get that 20 and 8 every night at least. He wasn't just taking diva mental health weeks off.

So he's going to family parties mask less & Zoom chatting a Manhattan DA candidate? WTF? How is this allowed? This is absurd.

Probably. He's a complete clown. Privately, I gotta imagine the Nets are furious about this, KD especially.

The guy has gone completely AWOL.
Kyrie's having delusions of being the next Greg Stillson

Did you go to St Pat's or MKA?

Well, if he has mental health issues, I apologize for my shots at him. His behavior is just very, very strange.

I agree mental health issues are not a laughing matter. That said, at what point do you do the healthy, responsible thing and try to help the problem. Seems it’s being mentioned as a crutch for a long time, but if it were the case he should be working towards a solution. Let’s hope he is.

That said, mental health issues aside, he’s handling this poorly IMO.

With respect to KD, if they were close you’d think he knows his behavior patterns and character. I have to think he knew what he was getting into? Either way, this is literally destroying the team and there is no real solution that’s viable. They’ll never be able to find a suitor, and if they did trading him would piss off KD most likely. Though, that’s a risk I’d take.
