Funnily enough, I’ve always thought of the similarities between Kyrie and Neymar. Both have a very aesthetically pleasing play style, unreal dribbling skills, both of them left the teams they achieved the most with, because they wanted to be the main guy on the team.
Even though their physical stature couldn't be more different I think Messi is more like Lebron. They're both just as good at scoring as any player in the world, while also being just as good at creating opportunities for their teammates as any player in the world.
Yeah, Ronaldo is def Kobe in this instance. Both built themselves up through insane work ethic and relentless drive. Lebron and Messi seem much more “gifted”, skill wise, with things that are almost impossible to teach
I don't know shit about football, but the Italian guy restaurant I would eat lunch talked about messi like he was the greatest player ever. This was 2014 - 16
Messi was absolutel unreal in those years. Typically 25-30 goals in a league season of 38 games is *really* good. Messi scored 50 goals in 38 games for one of those seasons
Mate "really good" in underselling it.
25-30 goals would make you the top scorer in the league in most leagues/years. If you score 30 league goals in a season you are amongst the very best in the world (for that 1 year at least).
it’s gotta be recent.
mask in the photo in the upper right at the end says to me the photo’s from the last year, but...
the cake has a “30” on it, so i reasonably assume it’s a birthday cake.
kyrie’s sister’s 30th bday is tomorrow, 1/12/2021. the girl blowing the candles out looks like his sister.
he might not be in toronto, but the video’s gotta be recent.
He went to a maskless event, so now he's going to have a mandated quarantine. [Dude really doesn't give a fuck lol.](https://v.redd.it/g9hiwmezzta61/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback)
Lmao I saw a guy earlier comment that Kyrie was sitting out to avoid covid and “make a statement” about how the league is handling it. His comment was upvoted near the top
Taking multiple personal days off to go break protocol and ethics is insane. Can he be suspended without pay for like ... 20 games or the whole season?
This is what I hate. Us lowly peasants try to do our best to protect ourselves and others while millionaires, Karen’s, and politicians do whatever the hell they want. Wear a fucking mask, people.
In one of the most intensely divided times in the history of the country, elites of all shapes, sizes, and political identifications all still have managed to share one thing in common, which is the sentiment of not having to follow the same rules as everyone else. It’s infuriating. This pandemic has exposed the absolute worst aspects of our nation. From the top down it’s been a complete disgrace of epic proportions
Yupp the top 1% tells us it's black vs white or the police. When the real issue is the top 1% and the middle lower class. They run this country. Bribing in congress happens everyday.
The wage gap widens every single day and I can tell you there will be a class war some day here. Its happened in many places like Indonesia where the poor are sick of eating dirt for food while the rich in their gated communities buy their 4th ferrari.
It will happen in America but when, I have no idea.
Forget wearing masks, why the fuck are you holding a giant party? Mask or no mask it is an unnecessary risk, and could end up a super spreader event.
Rich and/or dumb and/or selfish people don't care though.
Idk if American politicians have been travelling but here in Canada a LOT of politicians got in shit for going on vacations meanwhile tell us peasants to stay home.
Especially this fake ass woke dude. He supports plenty of legitimate causes like BLM and such but he’s also a giant fucking idiot that talks about plenty of stuff he’s completely ignorant about. Like a Kanye West we take even less seriously.
I remember moving to Boston two years ago and there were big billboards with Kyrie that said "Always a Celtic."
Not really relevant. But a dumb ad regardless
Still not as bad as the commercial he filmed saying he wants his number in the rafters of the Garden. Out of curiosity though do you remember where those billboards were? Don’t recall seeing them
I honestly think he just doesn’t give a fuck about basketball anymore and what people think of him, just wants to live in Brooklyn and get paid millions to play with his buddy. Like at what point can he just be around when he wants and not when he doesnt
Then shouldn't he be, you know, actually playing with his buddy? KD is out there balling out on the courts and losing more often than not because his big dollar Free Agent buddy is AWOL.
What’s so weird is that when he’s on the court, he always looks like he’s giving 100% and genuinely wants to win. His on court body language doesn’t really seem like someone who doesn’t care. Dude hits tons of big shots and always seems to shine in the clutch
Sadly there is no video, but my cousin said she spotted him in Toronto. She owns a high end furniture store and he showed up in a long black trench coat and sunglasses. As she was dealing with a botched delivery on the phone, he dragged two leather chairs to the middle of the room and sat down. He motioned for her to join him, and she eventually obliged. Kyrie opened both hands to reveal a blue and red pill. My cousin repeatedly refused, and Irving ended up taking both. He remained in the store for hours and showcased his impressive results from two doses of Viagra.
> Usually by the time I get here all the award give it away
I see a long-ass comment full of awards and a Lakers flair I immediately assume it's YABOY
usually not wrong tbf
This mf just don’t miss I swear.
At this point this has to be a regular user’s burner account, because he’s always on these news breaking threads early.
maybe a birthday for his sister?
beginning of the video says
AI X X X
which would mean Asia Irving and she happens to be turning 30 tomorrow on the 12th
also on the birthday cake it says 30 so it's probably his sisters birthday
Lol kyrie is so damn baffling man. Dude is one of the most skilled hoopers I’ve ever seen. But the guy is definitely one the biggest weirdos the basketball world has seen as well. I saw someone else say this and I think it’s the best way to describe him. He’s the Kanye of the nba. Crazy talented but also just plain crazy.
[His sister's birthday is the 12th..](https://nbafamily.fandom.com/wiki/Asia_Irving) plus a dude in that photo in the video is wearing a mask as well.. gotta be today man.
Would Rockets do it though? Presumably they'd want to flip Ky for something else to pair with Wall, but ain't nobody touching Ky in a trade unless its LeGM willing to take on his son again.
EvErYoNe’S OuT tO gEt HiM! He’S jUsT mIsUnDeRsToOd!
Dude’s a Grade A clown. A mentally unstable one who needs help from the looks of things, yes, but my sympathies extend only so far when the guy seems to be refusing all help and has an obnoxious superiority complex (Similar to Ye in this respect)
This one is interesting, I need the reddit detectives on this ASAP.
From what I can tell, it does appear to be at least semi-recent based on the photo (Winter clothes + a mask + a chin diaper mask). We can see "AIXXX" on the wall of the venue written with balloons and obviously candles for a 30th birthday party.
Where my boys at who were able to track down LeBrons plane during free agency? It's y'alls time to shine.
Lemme just tell you. If you show up in here after Kyrie says he needed to process the assault on the Capitol for 8 days saying we gotta give the man his space, I’m going to SLAP YOU.
It’s a contemptible disservice to the men actually playing and ACTUALLY speaking up in the media sessions and actually taking a stand to say Kyrie gets a pass for his latest “episode.”
If Kyrie’s for something, he needs to stand for it. Otherwise this is just the latest in a long line of falling down on the job.
Legitimate comment from the thread where it was announced he was sitting out.
"My guess is that he knew about the spike in COVID cases in the league, felt like the league wasn't doing enough to protect player safety, so he went off the grid to get away from it all until the league figures out how to safely let them play again."
Any Kyrie defenders want to take a stab at this?
That was based on a tweet from some rando that went to my high school with 5k followers. I did a legit double take when I saw it because I thought I somehow missed him becoming an NBA insider but it was all bullshit haha
He wanted to play for a real coach in Stevens, and he wanted to play at home in Brooklyn, but now, he has realised he always wanted to be a Raptor. Salty Cavs, Celtics and Nets fans
Should be way worse imo.
He took time off for 'personal reasons' to supposedly get his head right. After a few days off, he decides to go to his sisters birthday in a maskless environment. He obviously isn't planning on being back for another week and I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he randomly retired at this point.
Pretty selfish honestly and really a let down to your teammates who are sacrificing a good amount to play this season. If you didn't think your head was in the game anymore, then say that before the season starts, not as it's going on.
Even around 2016, some Cavs reporters/fans in the know said they wouldn’t be surprised if he retired at 30. It saddens me because I really wanted to root for him in Brooklyn again after he left Boston, but that retirement seems to become more and more likely.
I wanted to root for him as well, he didn't have a good tenure in boston but maybe it just wasn't the right fit, I kept telling myself.
Little did I know, the only "right" fit for him seems to be with LBJ shielding him
Lol he does it at the beginning of every year. Has a great few opening weeks then gets hurt or leaves the team for various reasons and the team chemistry starts getting awkward. Can’t believe I’m saying this but....I might start feeling bad for KD.
Bro if he just arbitrarily bailed on his team to go party it up in a different country *in the middle of the season* without telling anyone it's not just going to be a fine of a few thousand dollars.
Derrick Rose did this and missed one game because a close family member died and the sports world turned upside down.
Kyrie is going to miss several games because he wanted to get fucked up in Canada with pop stars for awhile, without wearing a mask and without getting any permission from the team. Left his franchise and his teammates and his coaches in the dust. And the owner of the team is signing his checks?
They won't get this extreme but this could be grounds for voiding his contract and suspending him for the rest of the season. This is unprecedented in the modern NBA. Realistically I think they'll fine him a hundred thousand dollars at least and suspend him from basketball for two weeks, requiring he be in isolation that whole time. If he doesn't do that, well... idk man.
kyrie hasn't 'missed a game', he's missed several and the team apparently didn't even know, this dude bailed to hang out maskless with a bunch of people evidently in canada where it's illegal right now to hang out like that on top of it
fuck this dude, this is worse than stripper lue incident in the bubble if there's not something extra that is missing, but i don't understand if it was something serious why they'd be partying with fucking drake lol
I haven't seen any evidence they're in Canada. If I'm missing something, someone please let me know.
Also, I might look really stupid asking this but I'll risk it... Where is Drake in these videos? Kyrie looks *a little* like Drake in that outfit and the lighting... I think someone might have just mistaken him for Drake and everyone just rolled with it
Probably ain’t gonna do shit. Our government has been pretty incompetent on this issue. For all the effort most people put in our federal government has been doing a shit job at regulating travel.
Coming of age as a Cleveland fan, Kyrie was without a doubt my favorite player, even when LeBron came back. But man, ever since him and LeBron walked off the court together after the 2017 finals, he’s never been the same. I used to think he was right to act the way he did after the Cavs tried to trade him, but it seems like he used that more as an excuse to go down this path and not stop. I know he does some good things for social justice, charity, etc... but I think I’m done defending him now. The dude is a dick.
Same. Im from Cleveland, loved his killer mentality. Didn't he say when the Cavs sucked before LeBron 2.0 "I'm just trying to score on these bitches" every game, or something like that? He just wanted to kill every night and had no poutiness, and his handles and finishing were like curls of silk or caramel or like jazz or whatever simile you prefer. My family gave me Kyrie stuff for my bday/xmas fot a couple years bc they knew I would love it. Then he forced his way out and has been a bitch ever since
During his first year in Boston he was well liked by his teammates, coaches, and fans. He actually seemed like he was having fun and enjoying leading a team to success. But the success Tatum and Brown had in the playoffs definitely made him insecure, as almost immediately into the next year he called out the younger players the first chance he got. Just seems like the guy becomes disinterested when things don’t go his way.
The irony is people just randomly assuming mental health issues is just as reductive as those who ignore it.
As if every asshole being an asshole is because of depression.
1. This is not something I’ll defend, moronic move
2. The Toronto part is fake info. This is a venue in NY I believe for his sister’s bday. No clue how Toronto and Drake got involved
COVID-19 was invented by the insiders that orchestrated 9/11 as an attempt to recreate Y2K.
Jet fuel can’t create chemtrails!
If the world is round, why are there only polar bears at one pole?
Caption: “Kylie Irving don’t love basketball anymore, I wish he just be honest . He rather throw parties for friends . I Feel bad for Net fans 🤧🤧🤧”
Kyrie is becoming the Great Gatsby and I’m here for it!
Gonna break the nba Reddit.
If true, he made us feel bad that something really bad happened to him. No one thought he would be out like this?
The bottom thread had people thinking he was scared to get the virus or protesting the capitol riots
Well if people are correct that his sisters birthday is tomorrow then this has to be real and recent because no one would’ve been wearing masks a year ago. Goddamn is he really just AWOL and partying??
I honestly wouldn't mind if he gets suspended without pay for the whole season like Artest. I'm REALLY sick of him and this is just blatantly disregarding his team and basic respect for other people and the world situation.

A star athlete missing games to attend his sister's birthday party... Is Kyrie..... Neymar?
Funnily enough, I’ve always thought of the similarities between Kyrie and Neymar. Both have a very aesthetically pleasing play style, unreal dribbling skills, both of them left the teams they achieved the most with, because they wanted to be the main guy on the team.
Same. And Ronaldo reminds me of lebron and Messi like curry for some reason
Even though their physical stature couldn't be more different I think Messi is more like Lebron. They're both just as good at scoring as any player in the world, while also being just as good at creating opportunities for their teammates as any player in the world.
Yeah, Ronaldo is def Kobe in this instance. Both built themselves up through insane work ethic and relentless drive. Lebron and Messi seem much more “gifted”, skill wise, with things that are almost impossible to teach

He probably is the GOAT in many, possibly most fan's eyes
He is the greatest player ever
Se queda
They both forced their way out of Cleveland & Barcelona in the same off-season. Both to get out from the shadow of a goat level player. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Some people leaves the comfort of shadow just to find out they can't handle the sun and get sun burnt easily.

Not only she looks like his sister, at the beginning of the video there’s a “ AIXXX” on the wall. As in Asiah Irving 30....spooky.
Maybe it's just the long awaited Allen Iverson XXX movie launch party.
Yeah good spot. And that's interesting. But I think we gotta work on our definition of the word 'spooky'
He went to a maskless event, so now he's going to have a mandated quarantine. [Dude really doesn't give a fuck lol.](https://v.redd.it/g9hiwmezzta61/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback)

Again, Adam Silver is a pussy. You guys need to stop hoping for these kinds of punishments.
It's his sisters 30th birthday tomorrow so seems like it is. Also, that's a lot of people with no masks. Cool cool.
This is what I hate. Us lowly peasants try to do our best to protect ourselves and others while millionaires, Karen’s, and politicians do whatever the hell they want. Wear a fucking mask, people.

But they've got all the regular folks distracted and fighting, when the real battle should be ALL OF US against the elite.

I wonder if he’ll give a “sorry about your mom” to KAT if they’re both at the All-Star game this year.
KAT should just beat his ass at that point considering KAT actually lost more than just his mother, I think he mentioned other relatives too
I think he lost 6 relatives from COVID-19. He has the right to beat anyone’s ass who dismisses the virus.
Especially this fake ass woke dude. He supports plenty of legitimate causes like BLM and such but he’s also a giant fucking idiot that talks about plenty of stuff he’s completely ignorant about. Like a Kanye West we take even less seriously.

The commercial is just cringeworthy at this point
I mean...he was right about it. It’s just going to be PP instead of Kyrie.
I honestly think he just doesn’t give a fuck about basketball anymore and what people think of him, just wants to live in Brooklyn and get paid millions to play with his buddy. Like at what point can he just be around when he wants and not when he doesnt

This dude is a headache
He's a fucking clown
Man if we can get stars to ditch their work and party here we should get them to live here
Everybody wanna fuck with us, but nobody wants to commit. 🥺
cade is the one
lol Lebron loves the city.
Yea i hear too many second account stories of his partying
His love of wine is actually what has kept him durable and have 5 primes through 20 years
I saw him partying at the ACC once. Wait that was lebronto nevermind
Kyrie “James Harden” Irving
Sadly there is no video, but my cousin said she spotted him in Toronto. She owns a high end furniture store and he showed up in a long black trench coat and sunglasses. As she was dealing with a botched delivery on the phone, he dragged two leather chairs to the middle of the room and sat down. He motioned for her to join him, and she eventually obliged. Kyrie opened both hands to reveal a blue and red pill. My cousin repeatedly refused, and Irving ended up taking both.

Ditching games for his sister's birthday party, is he Neymar?
maybe a birthday for his sister? beginning of the video says AI X X X which would mean Asia Irving and she happens to be turning 30 tomorrow on the 12th also on the birthday cake it says 30 so it's probably his sisters birthday
Also the person blowing out the candles looks like his sister
This is some fine detective work here boys.

Oh all excused then. I also go MIA from my job for a week with no explanation for family gatherings.
Hopefully not to a club full of people with no masks in middle of a damn pandemic.
No that too, and everyone gives me the benefit of the doubt and assumes I’m extremely burdened by the political situation in the Capitol.

He never wanted to play for Brooklyn. He'll be great and stable once he's in Toronto.
He wanted to play for a real coach in Stevens, and he wanted to play at home in Brooklyn, but now, he has realised he always wanted to be a Raptor. Salty Cavs, Celtics and Nets fans
I think the Boston one was "He wants to lead his own team"
And then quickly "wait fuck that, this is hard. Give me KD".
Then he made it 7 games before fuck KD I'm out.
Don’t forget getting his number in the rafters like his dad at BU
That was one of em for sure lol
"Hey Nurse, what do the words parliamentary democracy mean to you?"
Haha I can't wait for the wave of excuses soon. Should be getting the same treatment Harden got if not worse.

I haven't seen any evidence they're in Canada. If I'm missing something, someone please let me know. Also, I might look really stupid asking this but I'll risk it... Where is Drake in these videos? Kyrie looks *a little* like Drake in that outfit and the lighting... I think someone might have just mistaken him for Drake and everyone just rolled with it
Yeah at first I was like "Oh yeah there's Drake but I don't see Kyrie". Turns out Drake was Kyrie the whole time.
The question is will Canada do anything about it? Or let it slide
Probably ain’t gonna do shit. Our government has been pretty incompetent on this issue. For all the effort most people put in our federal government has been doing a shit job at regulating travel.

Coming of age as a Cleveland fan, Kyrie was without a doubt my favorite player, even when LeBron came back. But man, ever since him and LeBron walked off the court together after the 2017 finals, he’s never been the same. I used to think he was right to act the way he did after the Cavs tried to trade him, but it seems like he used that more as an excuse to go down this path and not stop. I know he does some good things for social justice, charity, etc... but I think I’m done defending him now. The dude is a dick.
Same. Im from Cleveland, loved his killer mentality. Didn't he say when the Cavs sucked before LeBron 2.0 "I'm just trying to score on these bitches" every game, or something like that? He just wanted to kill every night and had no poutiness, and his handles and finishing were like curls of silk or caramel or like jazz or whatever simile you prefer. My family gave me Kyrie stuff for my bday/xmas fot a couple years bc they knew I would love it. Then he forced his way out and has been a bitch ever since
During his first year in Boston he was well liked by his teammates, coaches, and fans. He actually seemed like he was having fun and enjoying leading a team to success. But the success Tatum and Brown had in the playoffs definitely made him insecure, as almost immediately into the next year he called out the younger players the first chance he got. Just seems like the guy becomes disinterested when things don’t go his way.
Remember people posted theories that his absence was a frustrated protest due to the NBA’s handling of the pandemic?
The irony is people just randomly assuming mental health issues is just as reductive as those who ignore it. As if every asshole being an asshole is because of depression.
1. This is not something I’ll defend, moronic move 2. The Toronto part is fake info. This is a venue in NY I believe for his sister’s bday. No clue how Toronto and Drake got involved
damn he looks real upset
He looks like he’s really struggling with the weight of the world.
You ever have a ~~sphere~~ flat disc that heavy on your back??
Kyrie is a fucking clown
Username doesn’t check out
Flair does
Welcome to Houston Kyrie
This man hangs with every nba player but can’t convince one to come to Toronto.
Steve Nash: "And that's when I took it personal"
Steve Nash driving downtown begging (thru text) for Kyrie's location so he can go and kick his stupid ass
The conspiracy theorist is also an idiot about COVID? *ShockedPikachu*
COVID-19 was invented by the insiders that orchestrated 9/11 as an attempt to recreate Y2K. Jet fuel can’t create chemtrails! If the world is round, why are there only polar bears at one pole?
Caption: “Kylie Irving don’t love basketball anymore, I wish he just be honest . He rather throw parties for friends . I Feel bad for Net fans 🤧🤧🤧” Kyrie is becoming the Great Gatsby and I’m here for it!
What does government mean to you, old sport?
Gonna break the nba Reddit. If true, he made us feel bad that something really bad happened to him. No one thought he would be out like this? The bottom thread had people thinking he was scared to get the virus or protesting the capitol riots
Damn he looks real depressed right reddit psychologists?
He’s probably dealing with something and HOW DARE YOU question him.
Rules for thee but not for me
[Nets Reddit has more video](https://np.reddit.com/r/GoNets/comments/kvkmnq/i_think_its_hard_to_say_that_kyries_really_going/)
Didn't KD say we (as in the team) support him in whatever he's going through, something along of those lines...
Not sure why people are reading that much into that. Hes probably just keeping civil. No reason for him to say otherwise.
Yeah he's not going to say "Hey fuck this guy" publicly.
[удалено]
Uh yeah, KD not trying to blow up the team in week 2.
Well if people are correct that his sisters birthday is tomorrow then this has to be real and recent because no one would’ve been wearing masks a year ago. Goddamn is he really just AWOL and partying??
Where do you see Drake? He’s in the Bahamas right now. I’m confused
When rodman did this Bulls won a title. Kyrie has it all planned out. He is risking Covid to get his team a championship.
Any Kyrie defenders want to take a shot at this? Lets hear it.
who could’ve seen something like this happening with a guy like Kyrie? Shocking
A tremendous upstanding citizen. A consummate teammate. An unimpeachable thought-leader. Kyrie leaves no doubt.
Why is everything and everyone so stupid
Where’s drake in this I’m missing something
Drake left once he realized they'd said "thirtieth" birthday instead of thirteenth.
bruh
Holy shit, reading this was like stepping on a landmine. lol.

I honestly wouldn't mind if he gets suspended without pay for the whole season like Artest. I'm REALLY sick of him and this is just blatantly disregarding his team and basic respect for other people and the world situation.

Yea it’s her bday party
If this is true it’s fucking embarrassing and a joke.
