Kyrie Irving on First Take (Breaks down why he left the Cavs, relationship w/ LeBron &more)

[revan]

I think it's fair to call out people for caring too much. However, when you sell pieces of yourself (your story) to fill arenas and sell sneakers don't point the finger at fanatics who gobble the personal interest stories up. Some will feel like they know you and end up caring.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

nikka you posting regular season stats.
On a team bron manipulated and forced a coup of so he did not have to share the spotlight with the most pedigreed backcourt in history and it is disengenuine and not indicative of the actual narrative on who and how bron got to be the or darling after kyrie closed out the championship. You are trying to falsely credit bron with the success of the cavs. When the success of the cavs is from kyrie and kyrie alone. As kyrie is solely why they won, period. All the deflection and passive aggressive posting is you showing the exact type of disengenuine pr spinning that made kyrie leave.
Unlike, you bron and kyrie I do not talk in passive aggressive bih nikka circles.
Nor do I have failures where I need to seek help from others like you and bron need to do in the form of coups. Or jn your case needs to seek passive aggressive GIF style posting. Of which you are not great at and you trying to fail spinning that level of posting. Tk the actual guy who made the real name for internet meme visual aid posting. So stop the bullshyt...you know you not shyt to me and no level of bih made passive aggressive GIF posting is going to help you. Especially when I am the actual person's steez you are failing to shark.

Like you nikkaz don't know shyt and your facts you posted are all. Ullshyt subterfuge and you know you not a great poster like me when it comes to employing facts. So spare me your bullshyt cause I could easily make a table for you somewhere.

Kyrie's definitely an official card-carrying member of the Smart Dumb nikka Society. But I don't give a fukk about his meandering ass thoughts, I watch him for his rare basketball talent. And he did make a good point: people care too much. About why he left, and about his relationship with LeBron. He also gave one fantastic answer, about whether he called Bron: "Why would I?" Guy is a marketable star with mad accomplishments under his belt at a young age, making business decisions to further his own shyt.... what the fukk kind of question is that?

All that said, if the Celtics slip from last season's pace, the media and fans about to flame-broil his ass like a Whopper. Will definitely add a compelling storyline to a league in need of some fresh ones, because Golden State's dominance is dulling the interest of a lot of casual fans.

There are no bball minds on the level of Stevens. to keep Boston from achieving regardless. So even if in the worst case scenario if kyrie gets hurt. Boston will still be looked at positively. Plus in the event of injury kyrie is given sentimental distinction and the becomes a what if mythos card carrier like any celt has in history because of pr and whom the org is. It is a complete win win for kyrie. Chosing Boston were they hold the cards still in the narrative of the goat via ring argument. Out of sheer racism is a brilliant move for kyrie. As he can always be at best Dennis Johnson of this Gen in Boston as a dark horse. The uncrowned in this era finals MVP who came to Boston via trade like DJ was. Or be gifted the savior by Boston media if kyrie wins a title. Regardless at the end of the day he will not lose.
Simply because of what and how Boston holds the cards via racism, history of racial change impact with Russell and in legacy of Pr and perception of the ring to goat argument.

Kyrie can not lose by going to boston

Yeah, but the fact that people care so much only serves their (NBA players in general) popularity/bottom line though. I'm not sure why anyone, much less him, is surprised by this. And not really sure if that's a "fantastic" answer at all, he would've been better served just outright saying I don't work for LeBron.

And Kyrie is the one who asked to come onto the show, so I don't know why he'd represent himself like that.

I don't disagree in terms of the drama serving the league well. Fans are supposed to care. But journalists? Eh. I don't know if it's a matter of taste or whatever, but I prefer journalism to be journalism. I can get the goofy/trolly/funny/casual talking points via twitter or message boards.

The cavs did not win a title without kyrie beating in the comeback and hitting the game winner, period.

Maybe you believe the false narrative of bron was finals MVP but that is a lie. Kyrie was the real comeback MVP period. It was kryie's number down three that makes this possible. Not bron's fake false narrative usage number and nerdcore advanced metics bullshyt.

The metrics that kyrie changed the tied are never posted and If they were it would cancel out this false narrative.
Kyrie even chose the smart place to go too.
All he has to do I win in Boston and that racist pos media based town will scrub bron down to reality.
just like they did going into the decision, and after miami lost to Dallas.

So kyrie is smart to even ask to be traded to Boston too.


Kyrie has his pieces on the board in this big made passive aggressive media war. Plus real talk,..kyrie is pulling up in the endorsement real world shoe game too. So let kyrie, Stevens, Tatum, olynik and heyward win a title. Or knock out brin and we are back to what it was.
when the big three popped up and exposed bron to make a decision.

kyrie iso ball is going to clash with celtics motion offense

I don't think so. Not saying that it couldn't happen but i think it will fit great. There's a reason why he had SA on his list.

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Kyrie is not given credit for being the best pedigreed backcourt player in the league and champion. To sit here and deny he is is disengenuine.

In three posted clips of this thread.
No one talked about kyrie being pedigreed like that and no one gave him credit for winning the title.
They talked about him being inferior to bron when kyrie closed to create the ability for them to create this fake ass bron mythos. If kyrie does not hit the game winner. There is no bron or positive story or mantra after he left Miami.
Even papi understands this...how do you not get it.

Everytime I see the words Art Barr I prep myself to read some of the worst opinions ever. By a long shot.

I've been really impressed with him since Butler, and I can't see him not getting the most out of his personnel. Rooting for him and Kyrie to have success, despite my contempt for the celtics and duke, which says a lot.

I actually agree with you on this, but I've given up on that for the most part. Or at least give up on it when I watch televised shows outside of a couple.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

YES, Bron and Griffin were trying to maneuver a deal to get Eric Bledsoe and PG to the Cavs as part of a trade to throw Kyrie in the bushes. Kyrie found out and asked to be traded. Since the trade had fallen through and Bron found out that Kyrie now asked himself to be treated after being treated like a disposable nikka, he leaked it to the media.

kyrie asked to be traded after the 2016 finals...way before this recent drama

Irving considered asking Cavaliers for trade after 2016 Finals
Kyrie Irving has wanted to be the leading man for quite some time now. While the NBA world was rocked by the leak of Irving's trade request on Friday, the 25-year-old point

This is all pr gamesmanship.
That will eventually close when both careers of bron and kyrie are surveyed against one another and the ring argument between the two is brought up.

The end game is a long road but kyrie has the hidden advantage because he went to Boston. He just has to stay healthy, compete win a title and capitalize. Right now, all kyrie has to do is be the nee undersized passive aggressive piru to bron and he will feast on the pr perception.
As Nike can make it all better and if kyrie wins. Especially with his general fan perception and shoe game aesthetically being the hood dark horse go to best. Kyrie is sitting in a rwxe cwr that can win the pole position.

Not sure why Kyrie's ISO ball mixed into Brad Stevens offense would be an issue considering they ran damn near all of their offense through Isaiah Thomas last year anyway.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

A system has beaten LeBron teams 3 times in the last 4 years. Of course you need great players but what's the point in having those great players if there's no structure?

All you heard KD talk about last season was how much he enjoyed playing with the Warriors.

4 of the top 15 players in the league beat Lebron

Believe me, I've given up on it too man HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I wanna see it because I feel in the low bball IQ era. Stevens could be the one man.
who makes high actual real IQ return to basketball wholeheartedly as a sport. So, I hope that Stevens does figure it out.
Especially on this pro level, even more than college. As I hope his success sparks the it thing.
that returns the high quality level of play wholeheartedly back to the game.
