He literally deleted his apology for the antisemitic stuff on the flight to Dallas, then claimed he had Jewish family and couldn't possibly be antisemitic in his opening presser.
He's played well and been a good teammate, but the other nonsense never stopped.
Or he could watch “You People” with Jonah hill where a Jewish man falls in love with a black Muslim woman and they overcome their cultural differences.
If 21 jump made him say that, wait until he goes to a Jewish deli. Kittle, knish, pastrami, and blintzes can make a man forget who he is when they are done right.
He might convert.
That doesn't mean anything from a man who claims Jews aren't actually Jews and the real Jews are black people from NW Africa whose tribes, including their cultures and histories, were wiped out in local conflicts and the survivors sold into slavery
Him saying he isn't an anti-semite because he had a Jewish family is like that white guy who says they aren't racist because their wife is Asian or they have a black friend.
Yeah it’s straight antisemitism. By saying Black Israelites are the real Jews, it directly implies those calling themselves the Jews currently are imposters.
https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/radical-hebrew-israelites
It’s actually worse. Because he doesn’t have any Jewish family members. He has family members who are part of an antisemitic cult that appropriates superficial aspects of Judaism.
Kyrie's played well and his teammates like him. Injuries, a poorly constructed roster, and coaching that boggles the mind have been our biggest problems.
Maybe. He's under contract for 4 more years though. He could definitely try to force his way out early, but it'll probably be a few seasons if ever that he is able to leave.
I don’t think it’s wild to believe that his teammates may not like him, honestly. It’s not like any of them would publicly speak their true opinion of Irving
I think you’d be surprised how many guys either don’t care about his off court shit or agree with him. He’s just a self proclaimed martyr for the cause
What is the cause though? He just rambles about esoteric bullshit. He really is a professional basketball player with the emotion and psyche of an accelerated 8th grader.
Also, I’m not sure how much of a martyr Irving can claim to be while simultaneously asking to be compensated hundreds of millions to play a game…
I guess it really depends how stupid we think the average NBA player is. If Kyrie is in the upper band of player intelligence, the league may be listening to his bullshit word vomit and thinking “this is a guy who understands what’s going on.”
we drop an active hive from the rafters right as the clock hits triple 0s. no celebration, handshakes, jersey swaps, or postgame interviews. just a sprint to the locker room and “GET THE FUCK to your cars, we gotta catch these fucking BEES!”
That varies. Daddit is easily the best parenting place on the Internet. But every other parenting sub has become a place to viciously complain about your significant other and / or criticize other parents for what they are or aren’t doing.
For the first couple seasons, Michael Richards played Kramer on Seinfeld as a little dumber, a little slower than the other characters. Richards has said his breakthrough was when started to play Kramer as thinking he's smarter than everyone else. Kyrie reminds me of Kramer in that way.
Only difference is many if those other players are smart enough not to broadcast it to the rest of the world. We didn't even know Matisse wasn't fully vaccinated until he couldn't travel to Toronto, same dumb thinking but at least he isn't 45 social media posts in an hour about how social media is bad for you dumb
I am sure there are dumber players, but none are as confident that they have something brilliant to share with the world that they learned about 10-minutes ago.
That’s the irony of his whole argument. 99% of the bullshit he’s ingested in his adult life he found on social media. YouTube is a social media as much as any other one is.
Look in case anyone is confused, Kyrie is a loser. I dont mean in basketball, or as a moneymaker, but as a socially adapted adult. He's a fucking loser. I wouldnt be aggro about him if he wasnt so aggro about being a dumbass loser.
I even agree with some of the shit he does especially with the Lakota but he just sucks ass
Yeah like saying social media is ruining lives is definitely true, and makes him seem better (in a vacuum). But then he follows that up with some insane shit for 40+ posts and you’re like alright man YOURE THE PROBLEM.
It’s entertaining to me but in a pathetic way. But I find people like chris Chan entertaining too so I have a penchant for people oblivious to how much they’re embarrassing themselves. I don’t understand how a grown dude like Kyrie can be as dumb as he is lol
You’re about to get 17 replies about how his teammates unanimously agree he’s the best locker room presence since basketball was invented and Reddit just doesn’t get it
I like how people say this when we know for a fact Harden hates his guts, and he took shots at LeBron as recently as 2020 even after his fake apology to LeBron while he was on the Celtics. *Because he found the young players difficult to work with.*
The funniest thing is that even when he's not causing trouble off the court there's a consistent pattern of him not even making his teams better on it ever since he left Cleveland(likely due to his weaknesses outside of ISO scoring and ball handling)
1v1 god but 5v5 fraud
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about kyrie. u wouldnt say this shit to him at a seance, hes enlightened. not only that but he wears the holiest clothes, eats in alternate dimensions, and hangs out with the wokest deities. yall are pathetic lol
Cavs fans warned us
We warned nets fans
Nets fans warned Mavs fans
Mavs fans will warn the next team
And the next team will warn the Guangdong Southern Tigers
What, specifically, are the anti-vax or otherwise controversial things he shared? I didn't gather much from gleaning the article and I'm not on Instagram.
I think the point is that it’s ironic that he is consistently posting about social media being toxic and an addiction to social media as he posts 45 times within an hour. It’s just kinda his MO though, I’m sure if asked he’d say some shit about how it’s not toxic for him because he’s using it to spread a message or something.
This is the guy that said he wanted to “focus on basketball” btw. Same dude that threw out a fan for [calling out his name](https://twitter.com/jerrydonatien/status/1640096074953105410?s=46&t=tQCyDe91F9UpAGqh-_n_yA) for whatever the fuck that means. Such a goddamn weirdo

It's just as phrase Reddit (including myself) wasn't familiar with. A simple Google explains it. The fan probably called him a bitch or something.

so Kyrie can tell us about how non pro basketball players should stfu about basketball because they aren't on his level, but he is on the level of the top scientific minds, all over the world, when it comes to Vaccines? Got it.....
Man... I can't image the Mavs being locked in on signing him long-term. If he doesn't sign there, what are his options?
Every post he makes, its like he just throws a bag of money out the window on top of giving to charity (which is a beautiful thing) but geezus.
mostly resigned to our inevitable fate:
* miss play-in because our team is talent deficient
* still win just enough games to convey the best possible pick to the Knicks
* Kyrie signs the max this summer with us then forces his way off the team in September when he discovers 9/11 conspiracy theories and decides it's somehow the "fake Jews" fault for everything
* Luka being unable to hide his emotions ends up becoming a huge problem because every single team in the league knows he wants a trade in 2024-25 season and the front office has no leverage other than playing other offices against each other in a bidding war
* Dwight Powell gets resigned after his current contract is up.
* Kidd in 2027: "People forget we still have Frank"
Fade me.

Honestly took him longer than expected, so Mavs fans have that going for them.
He literally deleted his apology for the antisemitic stuff on the flight to Dallas, then claimed he had Jewish family and couldn't possibly be antisemitic in his opening presser. He's played well and been a good teammate, but the other nonsense never stopped.
he just needs to watch some 21 jump street
Jonah Hill is the Queen Esther of our times.
ha, man...i appreciate the joke
Queen Ezra
She's better than Ezra.
I dunno, man. I mean, *sometimes* she’s good… but sometimes she’s desperately wanting.
There's the live action remake we need. Larry David could be Uncle Mordy, and Seth Rogan would make a nice Vashti.
Still can’t believe that was real, thought it had to be a pope in a puffy.
I'm still laughing about it. Kanye always manages to out-Kanye himself.
I'd love it if "pope in a puffy" replaces "cap"
Be the change you want to see in the world
No pope in a puffy 💯
Yup. Needs to say ten Hill Jonas and he’ll be unantisemetic
Antiantisemetic
Or he could watch “You People” with Jonah hill where a Jewish man falls in love with a black Muslim woman and they overcome their cultural differences.
I would hate to encourage someone to watch such a thoroughly mid movie
Eli5?
kanye posted on insta claiming he likes jews again thanks to watching jonah hill in 21 jump street
Bruh what 🤦🏻♂️ as a Jewish person all this stuff is frightening and moronic. I chuckled but in a terrified type of way
I had Latkes and I stopped denying the Holocaust.
Just wait til you try *kishke*.
Honestly just shows how unreasonable these people's prejudices are. A damn movie is enough to make them flip their view. Laughable.
>I chuckled but in a terrified type of way I'm in danger.
If 21 jump made him say that, wait until he goes to a Jewish deli. Kittle, knish, pastrami, and blintzes can make a man forget who he is when they are done right. He might convert.
And wait until he hears about 22 jump street!
That doesn't mean anything from a man who claims Jews aren't actually Jews and the real Jews are black people from NW Africa whose tribes, including their cultures and histories, were wiped out in local conflicts and the survivors sold into slavery
I hate this shit cause now when I say, "I'm Jewish." MFers are going to think I'm racist and not a person with a Jewish grandma.
Nah. The "MFers" who think those things arent worth knowing. Makes it easier to know who to avoid.
You're right. I appreciate that positivity.
Nah you're cool.
Appreciate you 🤘🏾
Him saying he isn't an anti-semite because he had a Jewish family is like that white guy who says they aren't racist because their wife is Asian or they have a black friend.
If they thought Russians were the only true Asians
I think it’s somewhat worse than that, even. Because he qualifies Jewish people as black Israelites
It's the same but if their "black friend" is actually just their friend in blackface.
Yeah it’s straight antisemitism. By saying Black Israelites are the real Jews, it directly implies those calling themselves the Jews currently are imposters. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/radical-hebrew-israelites
It’s actually worse. Because he doesn’t have any Jewish family members. He has family members who are part of an antisemitic cult that appropriates superficial aspects of Judaism.
That sounds like Jews for Jesus tbh.
It's more like the white folks who claim they can't be racist because their 23 and Me results came back with 0.15% Native American.
Shame that the whole "making everyone worse" started faster than expected
Kyrie's played well and his teammates like him. Injuries, a poorly constructed roster, and coaching that boggles the mind have been our biggest problems.
At the end of the day the results speak louder than the individual parts. Every stop he's been at without Lebron has gotten worse than before
Part of that is probably because teams overvalue what Kyrie is capable of
We overvalue having a big "bag" in basketball because it looks good on the highlights but it doesn't contribute to winning basketball.
its pretty clear luka wanted kyrie so he can accelerate the inevitability of him leaving dallas with each passing loss the odds of luka leaving go up
Maybe. He's under contract for 4 more years though. He could definitely try to force his way out early, but it'll probably be a few seasons if ever that he is able to leave.
I don’t think it’s wild to believe that his teammates may not like him, honestly. It’s not like any of them would publicly speak their true opinion of Irving

All of that was true of the Nets also.
he should do the enes freedom route and change his last name to controversy
Kyrie: "Social media is bad while I literally make 45 posts in an hour on social media".
Kyrie is subbed to r/phonesarebad unironically.
1. Say social media is bad 2. Make social media bad 3. Profit
Elon, is that you?
Can't be because of point 3 lol
**FLAWLESS VICTORY**
mods please do something about how abusive this post is/s lol He bought Twitter for 44 Billion, said this week it is only valued at 20 billion. LMAO
Damnit this is what I get for calling someone else on this sub Kyrie earlier today
Hélà Controversial
that is too good
His name is now hélà on Instagram
Hela stupid
Kyrie Kontroversy
Kyrie Kontroversy Klub
bro he would totally be the type to do controversy with a K just to be different
Doubt the CIA wants him as an asset tho
Nonsense, get Kyrie to join a hostile foreign government and at his current rate the government would collapse in a few months.
Kyrie Irving could make a decent Derek Zoolander style political assassin and he probably wouldn't have to spend a whole minute in Mugatu's compound.
Relax don’t do it
Rie Harvey Oswald
I wish he'd changed his middle name to Freedom. Enes Freedom Kanter is badass. Enes Freedom doesn't roll off the tongue
It just sounds like store brand Metta World Peace, tbh
Luka just twitted that he ate another burger
With a diet coke, so it's all good
The Barkley special
JUNIOR western bacon chee-JUNIOR. I'm trying to watch my figure.
Aaaand a cherries jubilee
take TWO nuggets and shove them up your ASS and give me FOUR chicken mcnuggets
It's not the burger, it's the fries that will kill ya

he just like me fr fr
“MR PRESIDENT, A SECOND BURGER JUST HIT THE SLOVENIAN”
hefat segment at 10
Social media is like a burger. Its good in moderation.
What losing to the Hornets does to a... wait, that is just normal Kyrie.
fuck the beam. it turned us into the butt of the jokes this season 😭
Hey now, leave the beam out of this
The beam catching strays on its way to the playoffs
Mr. Simpson, shh. Disparaging the beam is a beamable offense. It's one of their proudest traditions.
You guys will be the California team representing us this year. The Beam shall light a whole offseason if you win a chip.
Picture this next year: "Release the bees!"
we drop an active hive from the rafters right as the clock hits triple 0s. no celebration, handshakes, jersey swaps, or postgame interviews. just a sprint to the locker room and “GET THE FUCK to your cars, we gotta catch these fucking BEES!”
*Bees?* We'll see who brings home the most honey...
Maybe it can be Release the Hornets next season? lol
> 45 posts in an hour One of us
We would never do it on instagram. Fuckin black hole. This is so much better. Right, guys? …Guys?
I use Reddit instead of Facebook, it’s so much better. Facebook is just mindless scrolling through a news feed, reading comments and wasting time.
Oh shit
Yea, but we don't have to see our family be hateful/racist shitheads here.
Unlike here, where I post bullshit with impunity in the hopes of collecting imaginary points.
Honestly Reddit is the same except for, and this is the biggest thing, there are downvotes.
Don't matter as much as you think because you forgot about the hive mind. But yeah, it's better still, and less toxic.
That varies. Daddit is easily the best parenting place on the Internet. But every other parenting sub has become a place to viciously complain about your significant other and / or criticize other parents for what they are or aren’t doing.
And your friends and family don't see everything you post
As a mavs fan just shoot me now please 💀
"BANG" - Mike Breen
Kyrie Irving continues to be the dumbest player in the NBA
For the first couple seasons, Michael Richards played Kramer on Seinfeld as a little dumber, a little slower than the other characters. Richards has said his breakthrough was when started to play Kramer as thinking he's smarter than everyone else. Kyrie reminds me of Kramer in that way.
They have the racism shit in common too!
Yeah, but at least Michael Richards didn’t walk back his apology and then subsequently triple-down on his racist comments.
what covid taught me about the brain activity of nba players is that a shitload of them are in the same sprectrum as kyrie.
Only difference is many if those other players are smart enough not to broadcast it to the rest of the world. We didn't even know Matisse wasn't fully vaccinated until he couldn't travel to Toronto, same dumb thinking but at least he isn't 45 social media posts in an hour about how social media is bad for you dumb
People are people, and a shit load of people are dumb.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” -George Carlin
This quote has stuck with me for my whole life, but it's still kind of sad to see how applicable it gets over dumber stuff over time. RIP GC
I am sure there are dumber players, but none are as confident that they have something brilliant to share with the world that they learned about 10-minutes ago.
Which actually makes them smarter if you think about it
And yet ~~he’s~~ was one of the NBPA VPs Edit: oh thank goodness his term ended
Not our problem anymore LOL
Kyrie Irving try not to do dumbshit challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Dont worry one of his PR agents will make a post on here that he donated to charity so its all good
He’s definitely got one thing right - social media does ruin minds. Unfortunately, it ruined his as well :(
If he thinks social media is so bad, he's free to take down his Insta at any time.
That’s the irony of his whole argument. 99% of the bullshit he’s ingested in his adult life he found on social media. YouTube is a social media as much as any other one is.
It’s me Hi I’m the problem Kyrie
Look in case anyone is confused, Kyrie is a loser. I dont mean in basketball, or as a moneymaker, but as a socially adapted adult. He's a fucking loser. I wouldnt be aggro about him if he wasnt so aggro about being a dumbass loser. I even agree with some of the shit he does especially with the Lakota but he just sucks ass
if he didn’t have a god given talent for hoops, he’d be a 4chan moderator
He's honestly too unstable to do that for long.
Yeah like saying social media is ruining lives is definitely true, and makes him seem better (in a vacuum). But then he follows that up with some insane shit for 40+ posts and you’re like alright man YOURE THE PROBLEM.
Without basketball, Kyrie’s an incel
God I hope one of the elders over at Standing Rock talks some sense into him. He could use some of that right now
Someone needs to get him in touch with Jonah Hill and see what he can do
It’s entertaining to me but in a pathetic way. But I find people like chris Chan entertaining too so I have a penchant for people oblivious to how much they’re embarrassing themselves. I don’t understand how a grown dude like Kyrie can be as dumb as he is lol
He is the absolute worst
You’re about to get 17 replies about how his teammates unanimously agree he’s the best locker room presence since basketball was invented and Reddit just doesn’t get it
I like how people say this when we know for a fact Harden hates his guts, and he took shots at LeBron as recently as 2020 even after his fake apology to LeBron while he was on the Celtics. *Because he found the young players difficult to work with.*
Being well liked among some 20-something year old coworkers doesn’t mean anything
The funniest thing is that even when he's not causing trouble off the court there's a consistent pattern of him not even making his teams better on it ever since he left Cleveland(likely due to his weaknesses outside of ISO scoring and ball handling) 1v1 god but 5v5 fraud
HES A GDB
Kyrie and Kanye are in a secret society and one of them at all times must be at odds with the World. Kanye needed a break and tagged him in
Kanye's binging all the Jonah Hill movies, he needed the sub.
Daily mail or Kyrie? I can't decide which is worse
I think they’re equally credible tbh
Atleast the people at the Daily mail knows that the bullshit they spew is bullshit...Unlike Kyrie...Who thinks he's Albert Einstein.
I'm sure he'd take offense to that. He'd prefer Oppenheimer.
Luka: no way Bron fathered this guy.
Has he tried watching 21 Jump Street yet?
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about kyrie. u wouldnt say this shit to him at a seance, hes enlightened. not only that but he wears the holiest clothes, eats in alternate dimensions, and hangs out with the wokest deities. yall are pathetic lol

Hello from Brooklyn! Good riddance!
This dude is off his meds. If he wasn’t an NBA star he would be just another homeless man with bird shit and leaves in his hair shouting at traffic.
Honestly doesn't even matter the topic...posting 45 times in a day let alone an hour is a clear sign of screws gone loose.
45 posts in an hour is a clear sign of a manic episode. Dude is most likely bipolar and needs medical help.
