It honestly sounds like dude just wanted to try out a different situation.

It's honestly like he's saying "That sounds satisfying, why not?"

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka


This is Stump talking candidly basically saying what Kyrie said but keep hating

That was a dope ass interview, I love to see athletes (or famous black people in general) have interviews like this where they just chop it up as a regular nikka, that shyt is usually always dope.

I see now exactly why he left... imagine being an all star, all nba, champion, avg damn near 25, 6 and 3... and all you fukking hear is

"you a star and he a superstar"

"he's the best on the planet"

"how does it feel playing with the best on the planet"

"you know you're big time and he's lebron, you know, the greatest"

"well can you even win without him"

"well what's more important? you getting better and being happy.... or you playing with lebron so you can win"

"lebron said he wanted to steal on you.... how do you feel"

"were you tired of being second fiddle"



etc etc etc... like goddamn... he would be scottie pippen... no matter how fukking amazing scottie was... no matter how good he was without MJ... his whole career and everything he's ever done has been framed as "MJ took you to..........."

i wouldn't sign up for that shyt neither

LeThot stans are furious in this thread :mjlol:

Kyrie did exactly what LeThot has been doing his whole career, left his team to chase personal interests when he feels they can no longer contend and without informing his teammates.

LeThot stans got a issue with Kyrie but not when it's LeThot doing it:jbhmm:

You feel comfortable as a grown man calling another grown man LeThot?

Who raised you nikkas :hhh:

does it??

i mean it CAN... but it can also point to, i just want to do my own fukking thing and be a star.. nobody grows up wishing to be scottie pippen.. they pull up and scream "jordan" or "kobe" not "pippen" and "gasol"

it's one thing if you feel insecure about it. i'm not saying that it can't be that... but you can also just feel like there's more out there for you than second place. me wanting to be the man and thinking i can do it, means i'm very secure in myself and i feel wasted in this role.

Always said he exposed himself the moment he demanded the trade.

Dude just hates LeBron, wants to be the number 1 guy but he fails to realize he wasn't shyt before Bron came home. Kyrie also needs to realize he ain't Kobe :mjgrin:

well then the question becomes......... what is everyone considering a success / successful career


isiah thomas (new one) just got his team to a conference finals and was getting his dikk sucked.. his stats ain't that great... 4 more points per game, kyrie doing more in every other category.. and i'm sure he can make up 4 points with lebron gone

if they make the playoffs is that success? does he have to get farther than bron? even though he has less of a team now? first round exit not good enough?



it's year 1, with a new team.. that new team lost half its players.. and he's working with a new co star, who also has zero chemistry with the team. and kyrie has zero chemistry with them.. if they make it to the offs, i'd say he did pretty fukking amazing. shyt john wall ain't doing much more than that.. cp3 been doing that for 10-15 years now.. lillard doing the same.. russ doing the same.. etc etc etc


we heaping all these expectations on the boy... these stars and superstar team leaders ain't doing shyt neither without 3 stars on the squad. let him build

Nah. Stop acting like Kyrie isn't pumping himself up, only recently he started backtracking and saying " i just want to play PG, with a great team etc" when this nikka never played PG like he supposed to.

In 2014-15 Season Bron told Kyrie "Your a PG theres no reason why you should be having 2-3 assists per game,

All Kyrie has to do is make the Finals. Since dude wants to be Kobe so bad he should be playing ul to the standard he believes he's on.



Kyries Career might be very close to AI. Least he got his ring though.

But the main point is, Kyrie exposed himself as selfish, and didn't think of the team at all. He wanted his and his only. By getting traded while bron is still there i think that's him trying to spite him
