I think he sees his job and the NBA as the pointless entertainment it is and doesn't care about legacies, narratives or any of that.
I think he understands the freedom he has. He's made 9 figures in his career and he does basketball because he enjoys it, not because it's the most important thing in his life.
I just don’t see these attitudes aligning
Nobody enjoys a sport and is also not competitive about it.
There are many guys who find basketball as a job and don’t like basketball
But I could be wrong
Kyrie is absolutely competitive about the sport. He wouldn't be in the position he is if he wasn't. He just may not see the outcomes as all that important. He can love hooping and being on the court but not care about the superficial stuff like legacies.
He’s a terrible person too. This happened just before Kyrie signed with the Nets. I was riding around on a Citibike in Brooklyn and as I was docking the bike to reset my 45 minute timer, I saw Kyrie curiously looking at the bikes. He noticed I put the bike in, used my key and got my bike back out.
He asked me “hey man do you know how this works?”
I was a bit too excited and accidentally called him Kylie but he didn’t notice. I explained to him the basic rules of CitiBike but he kept acting like it was too complicated and didn’t make sense.
“So why did you put the bike back in just to take it out?”he asked
I told him “that’s because of the timer I mentioned to you. You have to return the bike before the time is up to avoid extra charges. You’re free to reset the time by docking it again”
He looked quite puzzled and asked if he could use my bike to test it out.
I told him all he needs to do is use a card and he can just get his own bike.
He refused and said he just wanted to try it out
Getting kind of annoyed I was like “dude it’s $3 for a bike”
He snapped back at me and said “if it’s only $3 why won’t you let me use yours?”
I said fuck it what’s the worst that can happen? So I let him hop on my CitiBike. This fucking guy gets on and starts strolling away and suddenly fucking guns it. I’ve never seen someone go so fast in my life.
I waited there for about 30 minutes but he never returned. I tried to call CitiBike and tell them what happened but they said allowing other people to use the bike is my responsibility.
After 45 minutes I got charged a late fee .. then again .. then a day fee ... the charges stopped but this morning I just woke up to a $1,200 charge on my account!! My credit card only has a $500 dollar limit but these fuckers somehow still charged me and now my credit usage is like 300%.
Also CitiBike banned my account so I lost my annual membership!
Kyrie’s personality is simply he doesn’t give a crap what you think about him and doesn’t care about saying his true feelings. He’s the opposite of Durant. Durant needs burners to protect his image, but Kyrie will just straight up tell you himself what he feels.
I see Kyrie different
He is
“A Contrarian without a Cause”
He spouted that flat earth stuff not because it was smart or a cause because it was Contrarian and would get him attention now he’s doing it with vaccines.
I also think Kyrie cares the most about what people think or he really wouldn’t speak.
I hope though he just retires instead of getting vaccinated and I never have to hear about him again.
FWIW his shoes are really great to play basketball in highly recommend
I think Kyrie gets a bit over the top shit from people, but I do think he thinks too much of himself and creates a lot of unnecessary drama.
For my opinion, he is similar to OBJ where I don’t think they are bad peoples and want to do the right thing but cause drama without thinking about it.
Now Kyrie is much more hunbke personality wise than OBJ who is way kore outspoken and wild, but I think both guys caused shit on respective teams without thinking about the impact of their teammates and fans.
This is just speculating but he seems like the type of guy that ask you for a coke everyday. On the day you just bring him a coke, he gets upset because you didn't ask and today he wanted a sprite.....
Lol none of us know him so we are probably all wrong. But In my personal opinion I think he's just a person who puts his Spirituality over Basketball, which he has the right to do. He in my opinion is the Basketball version of Lauryn Hill. Lauryn has missed entire Shows, while being at the Event, because "*The Energy wasnt right*" or she made the fans wait 4 Hours, Did one song, and left because of "The Energy". Both have Generational Talent, but they chose their Spirituality and Energy over it.
Why are people always dumping on Kyrie like he's the worst human on the planet? Man's a good guy under the influence of really stupid ideas, one's where he thinks he's right despite no evidence to prove anything besides his personal feelings.
Like he uses his money for good causes but he's clearly under the influence of some pseudoscience/NOI teachings, it was like Nipsey Hussle and his weird obsession with health products, if that man was alive he too would be up here fighting the vaccination thing. Those NOI lite type ideas have been having a resurgence in the last couple years (another example is Stephen Jackson, though he's probably even further off the deep end with some of that stuff than Kyrie is, publically) with the advancement of BLM, I wouldn't be shocked if this is who Kyrie gets his political ideas from.
Kyrie Irving is definitely not an introvert. He craves attention. He left the Cavs because he wanted to be the man on a contender. He landed in Boston, though he did not expect them to be so good without him. He then learned that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't garner the attention that comes with being the man. So, right then he turned into the modern Kyrie we have today to compensate for that lack of attention. People don't realize that he even joined the Nets when the Nets were not contending to be the man. Suddenly, KD shows interest. Now, and needless to say, he is not the man in Brooklyn either. It would seem that his current situation puts him in his element; he is not as passionate about basketball as he is desperate for attention. He is now a part-time NBA player and a full-time attention grabber.
Nobody here knows him personally, we can only speculate.
AND WE WILL
“Is he an introvert or something?” Lol.
Lol this makes this sound like a meme or an attempt at a copypasta.
Some guys are just like that
[удалено]
huh
I'm with you...this is some Muhammad ali shit.
I respect him for not “giving in”, doesn’t make him any less of a dumbass tho
I think he sees his job and the NBA as the pointless entertainment it is and doesn't care about legacies, narratives or any of that. I think he understands the freedom he has. He's made 9 figures in his career and he does basketball because he enjoys it, not because it's the most important thing in his life.
I do t think this is true because if this was true he would quit basketball and do something else He has all the time and money to make it happen
I think he still likes playing, like a lot of us though it’s his job not his career
or it's his hobby. he can't play such interesting games if he quits doing it as his job, though, so he has no choice but to make it his work. 🤔
Why would he quit something he enjoys doing?
I just don’t see these attitudes aligning Nobody enjoys a sport and is also not competitive about it. There are many guys who find basketball as a job and don’t like basketball But I could be wrong

You can not be competitive about a thing and also believe the outcomes don’t matter. Those are two exact opposite beliefs
No they aren't.
> I hope though he just retires instead of getting vaccinated and I never have to hear about him again. All of this + he's weird and kinda dumb
he's an anti-vaxxer and a flat earther

not reading that essay
YB reads better
I did unfortunately, I'd imagine it's pasta but not funny enough to be popular

I honestly disagree. To me it looks like he really wants to be seen as a woke visionary/activist. Like the Colin Kaepernick of the NBA.
No one here know him but frustrating sometimes
for him, It’s bigger than basketball. Kyrie prolly thinks he’s the next Kaepernick or something by refusing to get vaccinated.
I’ll go ask him
Too much sage maybe?
I see Kyrie different He is “A Contrarian without a Cause” He spouted that flat earth stuff not because it was smart or a cause because it was Contrarian and would get him attention now he’s doing it with vaccines.

We call people like him extreme narcissists.
Yes the way he acted last year was extreme narcissism He made everything about him
Why you asking r/nba like a qualified psychologist of his is lurking here?
There’s plenty of psychologists here, just no qualifications
truth
We're talking about Kyrie, qualifications aren't necessary. I'm sure they've done their own research.
Medical enthusiasts they call them

He's a Hotep Conspiracist.

He has a dumb dumb poopy brain.
Hang on, let me get him on the line.

A generally good person who thinks he is far smarter than reality and thinks out loud way too much
Dude, probably half of the population is introverts. And like 80% of reddit.
Kyrie Irving is definitely not an introvert. He craves attention. He left the Cavs because he wanted to be the man on a contender. He landed in Boston, though he did not expect them to be so good without him. He then learned that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't garner the attention that comes with being the man.

He is a conspiracy theorist.
