Maybe SAS actually believes that shit and maybe he doesn’t but the alarming part of this situation is the large numbers of people that agree with the idiocy that he’s pedaling.

And then he goes on to say that it’s because his personality in conjunction with his skin color is threatening and he doesn’t know what’s threatening about it but that it is.


People actually think this way. It’s scary. How stupid can you be? A lot of people actually believe this garbage. Everyone is a ****ing retard. lol.

Kyrie is a supremely talented scorer who is a locker room cancer and a me first me second me third team fourth player. That’s all there is to it. He’s not smart and he’s not a team player. He’s a dickhead. It’s not because of his skin color. Get back to me when the Nets have regressed this year.

Ok, so he's not smart or a team player but averaged 7 assists per game and rarely turned the ball over last season and is one of the most efficient scorers in the league. What a terrible player. He's only averaging 1.8 turnovers this season and they have a top 10 offense but it's his fault they're losing, right? No mention of their terrible bench production or their bigs getting burned inside.

Most people only think he's a cancer because of his off the court takes on flat earth and other dumb shit but how has he really hurt a locker room? He forced his way out of Cleveland but who wouldn't have in that situation. He told Boston he was staying but then the locker room completely alienated him and started blaming him for their losses, rather than looking at their own execution and Stevens' forcing a broken down Hayward out there for 25-30 minutes a game while Tatum and Brown were upset about their lack of touches, no surprise they're producing better this season when they're getting more minutes and with Hayward actually playing well.

Irving was a +18 in their 1-pt loss to the Wolves, he was also a +6 in their 1-pt loss to the Grizzlies. It's all his fault.

I don't agree with the black thing btw, most of the NBA is black, that's a stupid argument.

[red1]

he takes heat from the media because he supported the flat earth theory



there's no coming back from that level of retard

[Haymaker]

That's what you get for being an annoying "woke" hippie and opening your mouth to let people know how stupidly dumb you are. Kyrie is a flat earther and he thinks he is so deep and brilliant. He's a basketcase and will disrupt a locker room with his teenage antics. He's lucky Lebron got him to the finals and put him in a position to hot a big shot and win. Cavaliers were hopeless with him at the helm.

[LeCola]

Of course it is true, as you know blacks are minorities in NBA.

Good observation from SAS.

Kyrie is the only black person in the NBA.

SAS is a well paid troll. He doesn’t believe any of this shit, it’s all by design to generate the most views. And it works.

That's not the point. I realize that he's often times trolling. Like I said in the OP, regardless if he believes this particular stance or not, the alarming part to me is that there are literally millions of people that subscribe to that line of thinking and believe what he's saying is accurate. There is no hope. Everyone is retarded. Look at the comment section.

Skip Bayless is an example of a well paid troll.
Imagine having nothing but idiotic takes and getting paid millions. That guy is a loser yet we all wish we had his life.

Anyone who handles the ball as much as him would average 7apg. Literally every guard in the league.

I agree when he does stuff like this it

[Celtics 1825]

You're really gonna blame skin color in a league that's predominantly black? :oldlol:

[DocSlam]

The whole racial angle was 100% brought up by Max Kellerman. Maybe he and Stephen A. planned it that way. Honestly, Kyrie is a different dude. His head is in a different space than a lot of people. I don't have a problem with it. Just be a good teammate and a leader.

[wang4three]

I think the whole issue is probably sensationalized and given too much coverage. Kyrie may attitude issues, but this all sounds like a game of telephone of it becoming more of an issue than it is currently. Maybe it's the NY media, maybe because people are more keen onto it after what happened in Boston....but I'm not concerned.

As for SAS, I watched the clip and yeah he sort of race baited a bit there, but oh well. He has a tendency to lean too much in this direction when he doesn't have much other analysis, but overall I think he's gotten better over the years. It's not that big of a deal.

The team does look like it's not having as much fun as last year and Theo's off dancing by himself on the sideliens when he used to have Dudley or Rondae, last year... the Jarrett Allen vs. DeAndre Jordan thing is some what concerning to me, but I'm hoping the team can work it out. The team is playing a very different offense than last year. You can see it in how many turnovers we're generating because most of them are passes to places where there should be a guy, but there's just so much more talent there now than before.

I'm going to play it cool, two months in and we're still like this... I'll start worrying.

[ILLsmak]

Kyrie is an outspoken black man. That's probably true. Most other people fall in line.

Kyrie is a really interesting personality, but it's too bad his team leading isn't coming together.

SAS blamed Max Kellerman for Kyrie's mood swings
