    People have been just making things up to justify their false narratives on Kyrie the last few years. what really happened was Kyrie was being ostracized because of his views and the things that went down in Boston is no different than several other nba stars.

    Yep, he was an anti vaxer and it looks like his stances on vaccines were correct.

    I didn't say he was a moron, I said could have been a moron as in his time in bkn. Specifically in ref to his stand on vaccines. So ok if you think him refusing to get vaccinated makes him a "zillion" times smarter than me, then sure .

    Just as a side note, not knowing me and my education but assuming a dude who did one year college and thinks the earth is flat would be a "zillion" times smarter than me is wild. They don't give a crap about you stop defending/worshipping them

    Kyrie decided not to get vaccinated. Why is that moronic? He's done nothing moronic in his career. Not sure where you got that from

    Other coincidences...11 is a master number in Freemasonry. Kyrie was born on March 23, 1992. 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 29. 2 + 9 = 11. 1 + 1 = 2.

    Because he's a moron and morons tend to do and say moronic things

    I understand that the average moron cannot fully understand all of the moronities involved here, so we'll give you morons a pass. Not that Kyrie would pass it, but we will.

    Calling someone moronic over & over without any examples makes you more of a moron than Kyrie

    What’s y’all’s thoughts on the tank decision and NBA punishment?
    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...s-how-nico-harrison-mavs-landed-dereck-lively

    I go back and forth. I think it’s a slap in the face to fans to deliberately reduce your chances of winning. But at the same time, when it comes down to the last handful of games, do I/should I care as much? Then there is the Knicks’ perspective. The Mavs deliberately lost so they wouldn’t have to give their pick to Knicks. I feel like that’s kind of acting in bad faith when you make a trade for picks for a good player and deliberately harm the payment.

    Plus it’s the Mavs. So f them!

    It's wild how Kyrie walked back his Holocaust denial stuff since the Mavericks are now majority owned by a wacko extremist right wing Israeli billionaire widow

    Trolling- it has a price!

    Everyone tanks. They were just blatant about it, with a team that likely could have made the playoffs.

    What's the false narrative?

    Literally all of Irving's nonsense in Brooklyn played out in public - his sabbatical, his antivax nonsense, his Holocaust denier stuff - and he repeatedly doubled down on it in public at every opportunity.

    None of the facts were really in dispute.

    Like I said earlier it's ironic that he's been on good behavior in Dallas despite the fact that he plays for an ultra extremist MAGA/extremist right wing Israeli nutjob. The Adelson family makes Joe Tsai look like Malcom X.

    I don't think there's any narrative here - he did a thing, it ended up impacting his career and $$ negatively - he stopped doing that thing. That's just " the stuff that happened"

    In America you can speak your mind no matter how crazy or antisemitic it is, but losing $300 million in deals certainly had him shut his mouth lol. Still, I wouldn't call $126 over 3 years necessarily hurting, he is still doing great financially.
