Reporter Talks Brooklyn Being Against Long Term Extension with Kyrie Irving | THE ODD COUPLE

it’s the reason dame and AD made top 75 over Dwight and parker. They allowed way too many people to have votes

[@banditonehundred]

The owners have seen their net worth sky rocket because their teams are extremely valuable. The players are their biggest asset, so they will bend over backwards. Don’t hate the player, hate the game

[@awnyca4077]

Kyrie attitude and commitment to playing basketball will never win a championship. I am starting not to like KD because of his association with Kyrie. Keep in mind KD is my favorite player.

[@garyliddell9982]

Anybody noticed lately Rob is showing out with his little new Mic. He got his Base turned up. He can't stop talking... trying to sound sexy... 😂 😂 😂

[@FoxSportsRadioOfficial]

STOP IT

[@sergnyc8720]

1 positive is Kyrie does reflect. He has shown he is able to admit mistakes like when he recently admitted he should have not forced his way out of the LeBron Cavs. He still can turn this around but he cannot expect a max deal this year or even next. Best ability is availability. Prove you can be that and keep the rest of the outside stuff away during the season

[@jaydot4956]

@Jordan Carter that’s not the only thing people have a problem with kyrie. Kyrie has a reputation of being an eccentric unreliable player. Ever since he left Cleveland he became a different person.

[@slr8170]

You can’t reward Kyrie for potential because his history says otherwise smh if Kyrie plans to be available then what’s the problem? If he plans to play then he should take 1 year deals until he proves himself to the team because he hasn’t.

[@jusdesireable3224]

KD treats Kyrie more like a protecting a child than an adult, thats the problem.. He needs to cut those ties in that regard and be man to man real to him bout the whole situation.

[@HerbstaMagus]

It wouldn't hurt to have a set of awards that the active players DO vote on 'Player's Choice' or whatever you wanna call em. It is not right to just categorically say active players shouldn't vote. Maybe active players shouldn't vote for specific awards or all the awards but they definitely have a valuable and valid perspective on who is playing the best.

He should specify and say sports media. Sports media does have some bias but nothing compared to corporate media which is extremely bias.

[@GOD_DARRYL]

Kyrie is not going to entertain the world when a tragedy happens . I agree with that stance

[@johnmay4423]

So much inconsistency in their argument. Can't wait until Kyrie has a career year next year while Simmons is out on the therapy couch and KD regresses.

[@Royalwar0305]

I think jalen doesnt want his vote anymore

[@Acoustribute]

Lol, after they put this on the air a story came out that KD is talking to the Nets either.

[@Ham_1982]

KD & Kyrie are influenced by the media! They think hero ball, one man show and killer mentality are enough to defeat good NBA teams

[@bigibb]

They weak af for this 😂 they been waiting for something like this to prove that the media is the best 😂 like media never had a trash pick for an award.

this is why low key the warriors have the best stars in the NBA with Steph, Klay and Draymond and to a certain extent Andre not to mention having a great coach in Steve (and these guys are mentoring the likes of JP, JK, Moody and Wiseman), they are all about one thing, winning championships, none of this drama with Kyrie, KD, Harden and Simmons, to them winning the chip trumps everything, individual accolades that come with it is just the cherry on top.

[@philmoe]

Its a difficult decision but they need Kyrie to play this whole season. They were an ankle injury away from dominating the Bucks last year, which would almost guarantee a championship and a definite change in the basketball landscape for KD, Ky and Harden.

[@rasaq147]

I think Jalen Rose should be stripped of his voting privilege. This is absurd, very disappointing…29 games? What should all those guards that played more more than 50 games do?
