People who want to talk about double-standards or freedom of speech, go ahead. But let's not forget that a guy most of us on here love, at least for his contributions on the court is Vernon Maxwell. Remember all the off the court and behind the scenes drama? From openly defying Rudy and trying to fight team mates, not just hit but actually pick up dumbbells and things that could've severely injured or even killed someone, to things like sleeping with prostitutes, saying nobody wants Magic Johnson around in 1996 since he had AIDS etc. In today's era that would not fly. So just take that into account, even if it's a different era. Also do people deserve second chances and forgiveness?

As far as Ivey goes, I'm not even going to watch what he says but if any of that anti-LGBTQ+ and catholic religion is true then he needs to seriously consider his motivations to say it. Is he trying to get cancelled so he can still get money and talk about conspiracies to shut him down? So that he can go full nutjob with saying it's the devil that came for him since he's such a righteous christian or some ****? I know even great individuals who are on TV, looking at you Denzel, have this belief of the devil coming for those who are successful thing (Will Smith slap incident). So he might have just taken inspiration from that for his future self-indulgent sob story.

The bigger issue regardless of what he's trying to do and whether he's serious about basketball or not is that everyone nowadays has a platform, think their opinion matters and it's lead to a lot of delusional people. I feel sorry for today's youth, it's likely very tough to navigate that world. But when you are simply a basketball player and then start to preach, claim or talk about things like science, religion or things like slavery, then know there are consequences, you are at least somewhat delusional and that people do not care how you feel about any of it. Unless it's just on a personal level, like how do you stay so confident, what's your routine, how you stay grounded or navigate the groupies, fame etc.

But this era is getting so tiresome with this type of ****. From Ball brothers father inserting himself into conversations, to the Kyrie drama, to the slavery comments made by Iggy and Draymond, to some piggybacking off of that playing for an owner and being traded like an item is equivalent to it, to Draymond's bullshit in general and former players going all ignorantly blabbing their mouths with everyone having their show, podcast etc. So basically this social media era has lead to every Michael, Jaden and Rashad feeling their opinion is something we need to hear about, that their ego is so big and somehow the use of an interview or speaking your mind publicly no longer needs to require certain standards or require decorum. And therefore the most ignorant, private and excessive is just shared as if the world revolves around them.

It's sad to see any person going out like this and hope he realizes rather sooner than later that maybe it's better to just do a proper interview so you can speak on what is going on, why you said what you said, etc. before owners will deem you not worthy of the trouble to keep you around. Doing your own IG or whatever story like this is not just simply freedom of speech. And though I respect Kyrie for at least speaking on controversial topics and going against reporters and journalists who are out to get him, he's lucky he's as good as he is, or else he would've been out of the league long ago. We need a mentor program in the league honestly, where old school dudes can teach them something about their privilege, remind them why to do things a certain way and keep their ego in check.

That’s this generation
They can just instantly publish whatever random thought or emotion comes to their mind with no filter or no one to step in and save them from themselves.
Thats why I’m not a big fan of social media.

it’s definitely useful and have positives like this thread, but then some people don’t know how to protect themselves from themselves and they are literally ruining their lives just from snap moments to want to speak everything in their head to people that generally don’t care other than for the reason to prosecute you and cancel you

I thought Ivey was the best player I saw in the NCAA Tournament a few years ago. Haven’t really followed his NBA career

You’re a disappointment to the human species. Truly feel sorry for anyone outside of this fake community who is associated with you.

Aww thanks, tbh I couldn't have asked for anybody better to disapprove of me. Considering every single thing you post is complete, inane r****ded nonsense, I'd be worried if you actually liked me.
