    Perhaps he has his hands full in LA and doesn't have time for Brooklyn's dramas and those at home also.

    Nailed it.

    If you ever go to NYC or DC, you will usually run into these “Black Hebrew Israelite” groups, who stand on street corners and shout with fake African/Arabic accents. Honestly it’s sort of funny, but some of these dudes are a bit deranged.

    is the light a wave or a particle?

    and there's indeed a lesson for those who posses intelligence...

    Kyrie just being Kyrie. I expect him to absolutely double down on this **** too.

    I hope Adam still meets with him. Should be a fun one. He is lucky that Stern is not the commissioner (RIP) he'd be vanished from this league already.

    So he posted this without comment, right? Why does this mean he endorses the content?

    Take it to the D&D bro, you know your question is going to lead to unnecessary NBA dish conversation.

    I don't like that he will lose his career for holding a viewpoint (that Black people are the real Jews and today's Jews run the world? Not sure what exactly it is) most of the world disagrees with unless he denounces his beliefs. I don't see why, if it is such a ridiculous viewpoint to hold, why is it also dangerous? Why not just let him believe it, disagree, refute it, and leave him be? Why punish someone for a belief if it is so obviously wrong? He wasn't for believing the world is flat.

    At the same time, you cannot exist in certain worlds, like the entertainment world which the NBA is a part of, while holding certain views, so Kyrie (and Kanye) needs to not be part of that world. The problem is that Kyrie doesn't know what the hell he believes in. Omnist? He believes in everything. o_O

    So, as far as the NBA and society at large judging, condemning, and punishing Kyrie for a belief that is apparently obviously wrong, that just doesn't make sense to me. In a way, that is proving his point that Jews run the world. :eek: But, Kyrie has to separate himself from the world he is trying to thrive in if he wants to continue to believe what he believes in (which is apparently everything or whatever). There's no place for free thought in that world. And in no way am I endorsing his viewpoints, I don't even understand them, beyond that it disagrees with the worldview that 99.9% of the world agrees with and he should be allowed to hold it without forcing him into this situation where his punishment is dependent not on time but on him renouncing his freedom of thought and belief. But, again, Kyrie needs to move on from the NBA.

    It's crazy, all Kyrie had to do is play basketball and just keep his **** to himself and inner circle. He's making millions of dollars already and can make millions more. It's not that hard. Not sure why he feels the need to be different.
