If you take a look at Kyrie’s behavior, he may have mental health issues

Stephen A Smith: ‘Everyone was in on it, so Kyrie Irving should do it’ … Everyone was in on slavery and Jim Crow laws.. Ha ha…

Great analysis from an ACTUAL FORMER PLAYER. I think we need to Segway into RJ because I’m not gonna tune in with Malika Andrews at all this year, she’s beautiful and smart but she’s also socially immature, emotional, a misandrist, and not a real voice of reason on ESPN. I get it she’s screwing white zaddy and doesn’t see black men as leaders that’s fine but that doesn’t mean she’s for ratings or good talking about sports. And with her attitude I don’t see her making it far

Hopefully we’re not about to have yet another season of them going all in on Kyrie everyday. It’s a new season and not even a preseason game has been played yet. Transfer some of that energy to Brett Favre. R Jefferson played on some good teams but he was never the first or second option.

On the New Jersey nets he was like the 3rd option sometimes the 2nd option

The problem with Stephen A is the same problem with most corporate slaves. They are in masta’s house and they do masta’s bidding. We’re all still slaves to something but some of us are trying to free ourselves. Kyrie Irving for all his faults is making an effort to free himself from the slavery of this current monetary / social system that is anti the true evolution of people. Is kyrie Irving perfect in this? Of course not. But he is a field slave who is trying to free himself. People like Stephen a Smith are house slaves who scream at the field slaves for starting trouble in masta’s house ( aka the status quo) and puts you down for challenging this corrupt system. Ultimately, that’s why Stephen a goes on and on about kyrie working and etc. Working to a house slave is how he proves his worth to his masta. On a serious note, we all have jobs. If Stephen a Smith wants to criticize Kyrie or any other player, fine. It’s the fact that he does it over and over….it’s a narrative of attacking someone for being anti status quo. ….that’s basically what this is about….people who believe in this corrupt social order or are brainwashed by it are offended by people like Kyrie..how dare you not work like me? How dare you turn down a 200 million dollars of inflated money? How dare you reject the govt telling you to put something into your body. that’s basically what it comes down to. I support Kyrie for the simple reason that I know ( with all of his corkiness and flaws) he’s actually trying to arrive at a greater truth and free himself and others from what he sees a greater evil….and I respect him for it….just like I respect all the other freedom fighters who tired to free themsleves and others and thus push society forward by raising his level of consciousness and others….society has always fought against people like this and tried to undermine them in some way..and even kill them when they became too influential. I always support people who are anti status quo when their heart is in the right place.
I also have to add this. At the end of the day, Stephen a said he comes to work everyday to make his masta some money..Stephen a is okay with having an overseer. Stephen a acts like he’s the over seer of NBA players…..masta put a battery in his back and that’s how he carries himself…that’s where the resentment comes from..Kyrie doesn’t want an overseer. Nor should anymore. It’s not needed. this type of system is corrupt and is not the best use of time, people, or resources…

Fire Malik’s Andrew’s, I’m tired of woke women who hate men and can’t stand for women being held to the same standards.

Lol crazy how they skip over he’s not vaccinated and still living so why take a vaccine? Life an occupation 2 different thing

Kyrie was more available the Kd and James. And he would have played much more but the vaccine mandate messed up last season. Yes I support him not getting the shot. NY got 90% of the population vaccinated and they still got folks dying from C19
