    Is there any logical reason Kyrie was left off the US Olympic team?

    I love seeing all these people who were trashing Kyrie over his amazon tweet, saying he's the reason the Nets didn't work, calling him a headcase for not wanting to vaccinate, etc., now all on his jock cause he plays such a smooth cool game, is clutch AF, and has hella handles. Ya yall like Kyrie now

    I actually think it strengthens their argument. Dude was doing all this other stuff and NOT PLAYING BASKETBALL. See what happens when he decides to play basketball?

    Kyrie is an amazing basketball player, and a ****ing idiot as well, the two are both true.

    There's no excuse for Kyrie's off court behaviors. But there's also no denying that he's an enormously talented basketball player.

    You can tell he's really motivated in this year's playoffs.

    How does it strengthen their argument? Sending a tweet takes up a lot of time? He had to make some long listed apology for posting an Amazon documentary. He didn't want to take a vaccine. Big effing deal. Unfortunately for him he played in a city that required it at the time. People are acting like he was James harden off the court. Kyrie went home to his family

    It strengthens their argument because he was choosing to do things that kept him off the basketball court, when he’s capable of being great while on it, while being on teams that coulda won a title if he was on it.

    The only thing you could say that kept him off the court was not wanting to get vaccinated but that was his right and he won out in the end. Tweeting about an Amazon documentary and then getting suspending over it plus having to have a six step apology was one of the dumbest things done to any player ever

    It’s his right to take a stand but the facts are it did keep him off the basketball court, for a team that arguably coulda won a title with him on it.

    Both can be true. He could have been a moron and still be a good player. No one ever said kyrie couldn't hoop , infact reason why anyone cared to talk about him was bc he is a baller. No one cares if scrub player is not getting vaccinated or thinks earth is flat

    Their looking pretty dominant to me.

    Still wish Stone would've added Kyrie.

    Yes, right near the edge of the known world. The depressed gravity is why he is such a wackjob.

    He's also a top 10 PG in the NBA.
