Kyrie posted a video because he's excited about anything black. I remember when I was first learning about black heritage. I would read or watch anything black without really even researching what was presented. When the media took Kyrie to task about the anti-semitic controversy associated with the documentary/book, he seemed surprised (probably because he didn't pay attention to it or didn't watch the doc all the way through). Kyrie got super defensive and due to his other situations with the Nets, they had enough. Kyrie definitely wants to play basketball in the NBA for as long as he's able. Ak said he's not giving up that check and really he shouldn't. If Kyrie really wants to affect change he could it with the wealth he'll generate from the NBA...

[@rosediddynorelation4824]

Colin Kaepernick did state why he was kneeling man this false info is so irresponsible. Kyrie isn't a revolutionary, and when they started hitting his pockets he bent the knee. He should've apologized for being wrong and publishing harmful and potentially dangerous information. Kyrie don't want to play ball, he finds every year a reason not to hoop. This time it cost him money. AK is totally off the point here.

[@KingKevmonger]

It’s annoying how much Bull Kyrie got for the vaxx situation. He understood the consequences of his choice and stood on his belief. He walked away from money quietly and people were STILL mad. Unlike CERTAIN black celebs today, he didn’t try to hype up and weaponize our people in the name of “I didn’t get my way” or “they racist”. Definitely some get back vibes. The Ye situation helped open the door.

[@claytonbrown9816]

So why does he want a contract extention? Why did he opt into his player option instead of signing with the lakers for 6 million?

[@SouthernsoulD]

I 1000000% agree with AK! Kyrie says enough crap for long enough and the. Always goes back to getting that check! Same thing with Kap wanting to go play back in the same system he’s claims is so evil…. They both have made plenty of money to walk away and live peacefully but yet they always want to go back like Kap or in fact goes back like Kyrie… the only conclusion I can come up with is that they’ve blown a lot of their money or there’s a lot of people in their pocket so they’ll always have to go back or fight to go back. Like AK said, they don’t have that F**** you money but they’ll act like they do until it’s time to go back and get that check again lol
