I am absolutely sure if a white player called a black player the n word all he’d be saying is people make mistakes. What Kyrie did isn’t a small thing. There’s no reason to believe he doesn’t hold anti-Semitic views and that Alex Jones clip he promoted was from an era where Alex Jones had openly anti-Semitic guests to talk about exactly what was in that video. Kyrie does hold anti-Semitic views, and just because he’s ignorant doesn’t mean he’s not a bigot. Perhaps that’s why he’s not admitting he’s wrong, you know he actually believes he’s not.

Boston played less great teams when Kyrie wasnt there the one year, and Kyrie was bad against the bucks during the 2nd round exit year, but everyone else on the team was horrible too. A bad series doesn’t mean you’re a bad player. but Kyrie himself led the team to the seeding that got them those easy match ups after he got hurt. Giannis injured him intentionally in the playoffs 2 years ago. Kyrie also isn’t the one who made the nets trade all their assets for Harden, then harden quits on the team, throws games and demands a trade. I can keep going on and on.

There was evident locker room issues in 2019 that were talked about all year long. People didn’t just bring it up out of the blue after they lost to the Bucks. Kyrie wants superstar luxuries without superstar responsibilities. One of those is taking the lions share of the blame when you flame out the way he did.

Again anyone can admit Kyrie played bad that ONE series against a GREAT defensive bucks team, but so did everyone else, and every other year there’s been a lot of context the media ignore so that Kyrie looks even worse. Kyrie just recently averaged 27ppg on 50-40-90 and is one of 5 guys to ever even come close to that (25+ on 50/40/90) so to say that he doesn’t contribute to winning just because of out of context Wikipedia stats is bogus and disingenuous.

How was kyrie wrong? Are Jewish record labels wrong for promoting Black Death through rap songs? Are Jewish movie studios wrong for promoting Black Death and slavery in movies? But if I glorify Jewish bodies being burned up in a concentration camp I would be wrong right?? I’ve yet to see a mainstream movie glorifying and promoting Jewish bodies being burned to crisp like I see black slaves being brutalized in movies.

Bron also made the finals after he requested a trade😂

[@tonetone111222]

EXCELLENT back and forth!! Great close Nick. Kyrie has a right to 🔍 search out information through his curiosity and he should state that as such and not punch his way out.

[@tenebrisdumplin4583]

Kyrie needs to meet with the ADL to sort this situation out? Just remember, everyone. There's only 1 group of people in the world who are so abhorrent they need both national laws and coalitions just to make it illegal to hate them. Every media outlet is more furious with both Kyrie and Kanye than they have ever been over any criminal or politician. Why? Because they've committed the worst crime of all. Criticizing the only group of people on Earth you aren't allowed to criticize.

💯

Okay both of them are not the ones you want to waive your flag for. Plus Kanye been saying wild stuff about slavery and George Floyd so...no...I'm good on that

@@michaeln3044 but that's not what they are saying. All the media says is Kyrie is a distraction. Nobody talk about how he is a horrible pg that doesn't setup his teammates. They rather cry about a tweet

Broussard is staring facts in the face and refuses to admit the truth. If only I could find someone to love me like Brou loves the Nets.

[@OsirisJames]

Let me get this straight, Kyrie is a problem because he posted something to his personal social media that someone a report decide to turn into national media story and it's Kyrie fault. Lets not for get that he is currently averaging 30 pts per game. Don't just listen to the talking heads pay attention to the smear game that they deploy. Now nick is questing is he is a good player., if it me or does anyone else smell an agenda.

[@brightBoss]

There's no agenda son. I don't know what type of advice you grew up on but promoting an antisemitic film isn't a good look for a dude who acts like he's super intelligent and everybody else don't get it

[@SuperfanK]

If anyone posted a link to a video with anti-semitic sentiments they'd also be questioned on it. It irresponsible. He's a problem because he wants to use his platform to "put stuff our there" but doesn't want to answer any questions about it when it's brought up. Doesn't wanna have a conversation about it. Nick questioned whether he's a great player not a good one. He isn't a great player. He has great talent. If you can't see the issue with someone with his following posting something that inflammatory and problematic, without having to answer for it, there's nothing left to say.

[@nicbell8090]

Did you not hear the last thing Nick said. Perfectly captures exactly what happened. He’s just stubborn and wants to be seen as an intellectual/martyr, and won’t admit he’s wrong, or that he never really thought that deep about it initially

[@UnexpectedWonder]

It's been an Agenda since 2020.

Man he’s been proving himself to be crazy for the past 5-6 years all by himself. Once you say that the Earth is flat, it’s extremely hard to take you seriously after that.

[@polumathes9729]

I agree with Brou that “pro-black does not mean anti-white or anti-Jewish”. But I don’t know if Kyrie Irving agrees that “pro-black does not mean anti-white or anti-Jewish”

Can you elaborate on that? because i want to see both sides to this and all im seeing is just the reaction from the media and nothing about why kyrie did what he did.

Nick's final take was spot on about Kyrie not watching that whole video....Kyrie is a flat-earther; clearly he doesn't do his due diligence in researching anything.

[@mike.cdn7212]

Kyrie has been unlucky when it comes to playoff time with Brooklyn. Kyrie couldn't play in the 2020 playoffs, played pretty good against the Celtics and Bucks in 2021 until he got hurt and in 2022 he had a bad series against the Celtics.

He would be better as a coach on a team that is still developing, doesn't have championship expectations, and isn't a circusfire. Probably a college team so he can develop coaching habits, Steve Nash is clearly an intelligent guy who understands basketball.
