When Kyrie makes a huge difference on a team by himself then he can talk. Lebron made a difference when he first entered the league. CRY-rie needs to sit down and shut up!!!

Bad move for kyrie. The more he ignores or avoids media, the more it will chase after him.

Kyrie can’t handle constructive criticism cuz he makin 30 million a year & LeBron made him a champion but pre LeBron Uncle Drew losing every season in Cleveland Kyrie loved the media.

I thought SAS was lost now makes sounds even less connected…just like the music industry artist players of all walks realize that THEY DON’T NEED THE MEDIA…all these outlets online to reach their fans and the media is so full of itself to think players need you…the media machine is no more!

The Nets are going to be a nightmare this season. The two most fragile personalities in basketball in one locker room

Kyrie is behaving like a overgrown baby.He thinks he is very smart yet every time he speaks it obvious he’s a dummy.

Why can’t kyrie just control what comes out his mouth…he really does think he can outsmart everything.

I get how Kyrie feels, because it’s the same way Marshawn Lynch felt. But yea, fine him if he doesn’t only because it’s in their contract.

Seriously Molly. You are the reason why women are preaching equality. Unskilled gorgeous women like you taint it for everyone else. There are actually pretty smart and skilled woman out there.

Kyrie watched some conspiracy videos on Youtube and now he thinks he’s some woke genius when in reality he’s a delusional narcissistic hotep.

Regardless of his feelings towards most of them I know there are reporters he likes it would’ve been better off to report to them then to do this

LOL … ESPN making a huge deal out of this because drama sells. Is not like Kyrie said he wouldn’t speak to the media ever again. also, their contract forces them to speak witht he media ??? don’t know about that. Anyway, Kyrie may had many deffects, Max definitely talks about those here, but not speaking to the media, that’s kind of a meaningless one if you ask me.

When did everyone started hating Kyrie Irvin? Was it after he left LeBron? Because it wasn’t this way in Cleveland. He was hitting game winning shots and killing everyone

Hopefully one day the kid will learn that people are gonna say things no matter what. He should just show up and do what he can control, meaning his job to the best of his ability.
