If you have 2+ million to spare getting fined every game the entire season...**** it. Hell if you have it make the last press release you do for the season be that you will match all fines to the league with payments to local charitable causes. Have fans submit causes and spend a weekend picking them with your publicist. Announce where the matching 25K goes after every game on Twitter.

Turn perception around if you’re gonna blow millions anyway.

Well I don’t know if that image was there or added(edited posts don’t show if you’re quick enough) but I missed it if it was. He’s “hoping” they donate the fine money.

I bet he could pressure them into it.

Not a fan of Kyrie but him hoping that 100% of that fine money gets donated to communities in need is a win in my book.

The players might want to reevaluate their leadership. Kyrie has never shown to be about anything but what's best for Kyrie. He's manipulative and behaves like a spoiled brat whenever he's met with resistance.

Apparently his attention is worth $25k a day. I get that a lot of players hate the media but has he thought about how much he could do for these causes he cares about with that kind of money? If he cares as much as he claims to he must surely realize that many of the people he's trying to help don't make 25k in a whole year. The real area where I just can't see eye to eye with Irving is this idea that the words he has to say will make more of a difference than the money he can make. He may have more to contribute than just cash but cash is pretty damn important.

“Marginalized communities” have been receiving billions and billions, if not TRILLIONS of dollars over the last 25-30 years.

And the wealth and education gap is greater than ever


But please. Donate what ya can. Anything helps.

That's awesome!

Kyrie is an awesome guy and definitely one of my favorite players in the league. He gets so much undeserved criticism.

It goes to NBA approved foundations, so Kyrie knows exactly where they go because he's the VP of the Players Union.
