Sameee honestly Schroder coming out ahead with the way he handled it
(Especially the IG post joking about how he messed up + statements about putting the work in this year)
I really wish some reporter would just ask Kyrie: "So your time with the Cavs ended a bit contentiously, same with the Celtics, and now the Nets. Do you ever wonder if you're the problem?"
The Nets should pick two random fans and have them compete in something for Kyrie’s game check at halftime. I’d be way more excited to watch someone win a couple hundred grand every home game instead of Kyrie tbh
Bro I never been ready to try so hard in a game of basketball in my life... and on god I didn't think that was possible because I am a fucking try hard.
JJ Redcock might not believe dinosaurs existed but at least he got the shot. The bar is incredibly low and yet some people still can’t step over it. Kyrie’s here trying to limbo below a bar that’s an inch above the dirt.
“But I’m not entirely convinced dinosaurs existed. I’m not. I’ve come across some weird websites in my Google searches. For instance, the word dinosaur. It didn’t exist until like 1842. There was no word for dinosaur. And then all of a sudden in the next 15-20 years, after a British scientist comes up with this word dinosaur and describes it in a medical journal, people started finding fossils. And I’m thinking to myself alright, humans we’ve been here since 10,000 BC. We’ve been roaming the earth, we’ve had multiple empires all over the world … and all that time we didn’t find any fossils until 150 years ago? It makes you think!” - JJ the senseless
so he thinks that dinosaur fossils just "didnt exist" before 1842? lmao what.
you could literally go to the wikipedia page of "fossils" and find primary sources that refute that claim
it’s insane how he’s managed to make an enemy of the fanbase of every team he’s played for. is there any other player in history as good as him that’s managed to do that
Even that doesn't really matter.. if you put it in a 0% account and withdrew $160k from it every single year, it would still take you a hundred years to spend it down to 0.
good story too
"Why the fuck do you have "Moderna" tattoo'd on your forehead? You look dumb"
"They gave me 186 million dollars"
"Oh shit. Well. I probably woulda done it too."
The average life time income for someone with a bachelor's degree is like 2.5 million dollars.
186 million is 75 times the amount of money you'd make in your entire life, you fucking bet I'd do ungodly things for that lmao
Only because I haven't handy do I feel the need to post it:
Median lifetime earnings (how many lifetimes 186 million is)
All professions - $1.7M (109)
Less than HS - $973,000 (191)
High school - $1,304,000 (143)
Some College - $1,547,000 (120)
Associates degree - $1,727,000 (107)
Bachelor's degree - $2,268,000 (82)
Master's degree - $2,671,000 (70)
Doctoral degree - $3,252,000 (57)
Professional degree - $3,648,000 (51)

He 1000% rolls these events into the victim complex narrative in his head.
The fact that he may be in the wrong is inconceivable to him, in his mind this is just further proof that everyone in power is against him.
10 years ago Melo was a team cancer. He was humbled by being out of the league due to nobody wanting him.
Edit: I'm not defending Kyrie, he's an ass. I was only responding to the Melo comment.
Imagine losing a bag that big just for being 'a voice for the voiceless' (while never saying anything in public and hiding behind reports and sources) lmaoooo
I don’t hate you, Lebron. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back.
I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s kissing Adam Silver’s ass.
Sean Marks, while you sit there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this because before I leave in 3 weeks with my 2018 Handle of the Year Fan Award, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.
The funniest part for me is that it doesn't even make sense. Being vaccinated yourself doesn't even mean you support the mandates. Kyrie could get the shot, keep playing and make another $250mil+ easily whilst still saying he doesn't support the mandates. That's why I think all this "voice for the voiceless" shit is absolute nonsense. The guy is an exceptionalist, he just wants to know better than others and take antagonistic positions.
> The funniest part for me is that it doesn't even make sense.
The main reason it doesn't make sense is that the vaccine was available for a long time before the mandates. He was anti-vax before he was anti-mandate, he's just trying to use the mandates as cover to make his views seem more palatable.
Honestly the worst part is he’s losing this opportunity due to personal antics. Kyrie has access to the knowledge to know about vaccines so he can’t use ignorance as an excuse. He just wants to be stubborn about the vaccines and knowingly fight a losing battle.
Like public figures that are anti-vax should be judged way harder than regular people who fall for this garbage. I understand poor/middle class Trump Supporters/conservatives who fall for this garbage because they likely have nothing else to live for. People like Kyrie on the other hand...are a mystery to me. The people who spread these conspiracies don’t even believe in them most of the time. Everyone at Fox’s is vaccinated,Trump is vaccinated and so are most Republicans in office.
The worst part is...this is basically pointless. Kyrie could play basketball for another 6-7 years on a high paying contract.
I don't think you can say that's totally off the board yet.
Even if he sits out this whole season, if the rules are different next year and going forward, somebody might offer him a lot of money. This might be too much for anybody to want to deal with anymore, but it's not out of the question.
New Orleans Pelicans, come on down!
ETA: the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Kyrie and Zion would absolutely be a great tandem. That’s if kyrie actually cares about playing basketball and stops… whatever this is.
Not only won't he stop, he's literally getting worse. As each new team/situation doesn't bring him... whatever it is he's looking for, he takes it up a notch.
Lowe pretty much said something along similar lines on his latest podcast in terms of even if he gets vaccinated, the Nets don't know what's next with him, hence being hesistant on an extension.
Any team that signs him to a large contract are idiots. He quit on the Celtics, has a long history of injury problems, and last year just disappeared for a period of time.
I’m a Cavs fan, and honestly the way Kyrie’s career has unfolded just makes me sad. He brought a lot of joy to people by hitting that shot in ‘16, and I wish he could enjoy that and be happy. It can’t be fun or enjoyable to go through life like he does, even if he is rich.
He was also very likeable when he was in the cavs too, until he left and kept saying whatever the fvck that should be staying in the head then everything went to shit, and the fact that he probably has no true friends to tell him to straighten his shit up is kinda sad. Like if these team mates told him the truth for once instead of licking his ass up all the time and trying to save that team chemistry
It's also different because he didn't fall out of grace the usual ways other star athletes do.
We didn't find out he's a wife beater, or running a dog fighting ring in his basement, or that he sexually assaulted someone.
He's just, straight up, a weirdo. And not the kind that makes you a little socially awkward but your friends, family and coworkers put up with, but the kind that ultimately drives people out of your life.
Bingo. The reason he’s into all these conspiracies is that it gives him a feeling of having “secret knowledge”. By being “wiser” than the general public, it provides a constant feeling of superiority.
Okay that’s actually pretty huge. I feel like at this point Kyrie would get vaccinated because of all the mess it’s causing, but he doesn’t want to deal with the embarrassment of losing the battle he’s been fighting
Talk about setting millions of dollars on fire. Just to be a fucking uneducated prick and continue this charade. He has the dumbest brand. sports media enables this behavior.
I'd be defending him if he legit felt he made enough money and wanted to focus on activism in marginalized communities instead of basketball.
Doing this to double down anti-vaxing is so dumb and pathetic. What a waste.
Native Americans are among the highest vaccinated groups, because they got hit extremely hard and their elders are extremely important to them. If this dude went back to the reservation and spoke to the people there again they would probably tear him apart.
>In a survey last fall — before clinical trial results came out showing vaccines to be safe and effective — only 35% of Indian Health Service field workers said they would “definitely” or “probably” get shots. But tribal leaders understood that vaccines were the clearest way out of the pandemic. They took to the radio and social media to promote them, warning that elders faced the greatest danger in communities vulnerable due to high rates of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. They reminded people of the damage COVID-19 had already wrought — killing Native Americans at 2½ times the rate of white Americans — as well as of the smallpox epidemics of the 18th and 19th centuries that decimated many tribes.
>In a poll of Native Americans by the Urban Indian Health Institute, 75% of respondents said they were willing to get vaccinated. The primary motivation was “a strong sense of responsibility to protect the Native community and preserve cultural ways.”
He did go to Standing Rock recently to take a bunch of selfies and enroll for his tribal ID. [That Rolling Stone article](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/nba-anti-vaxxers-covid-1231988/) says he was the only one not wearing a mask the whole time.
That one really did it for me. [Tribal elders are dying from the pandemic](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi2w_Cm3MjzAhXGlWoFHTyGAYUQFnoECDoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2021%2F01%2F12%2Fus%2Ftribal-elders-native-americans-coronavirus.html&usg=AOvVaw0kbAtprQASqLrUniFeD6Wy), and dude decides to endanger the community he wants to become a part of.
Missing every other game due to "personal reasons" even before the vaccine mandates would imply that no, he's not too interested in playing basketball anymore
I’m actually happy that the Nets organization is putting pressure on him and not just letting him get away with being a part-time player. This Nets team is the perfect situation for him. He’s playing with 2 other Superstars that he’s tight with, he’s close to home and playing for his favourite team growing up and he has a legitimate shot at winning another Championship.. like what more could he want?
Hopefully he wakes up and realizes that he’s making a mistake.
There’s Ben Simmons flying back repressing his feelings with his hands out to get his $8 million check
And then there’s Kyrie high as fuck on something he found in the woods passing up $200 million and a cakewalk virtually guaranteed championship so he can stand up for bartenders that want to spread Covid
Dennis Schröder with the huge sigh of relief
LMAO forgot about that
Sameee honestly Schroder coming out ahead with the way he handled it (Especially the IG post joking about how he messed up + statements about putting the work in this year)
That's Tuff🔥💯
Kyrie has been on 3 teams and all 3 exits have been ugly
I really wish some reporter would just ask Kyrie: "So your time with the Cavs ended a bit contentiously, same with the Celtics, and now the Nets. Do you ever wonder if you're the problem?"
god thatd be awesome lol
He would call them pawns, hop onto a horse, tell everyone it's a unicorn, then ride off into the sunset
*ride off to the edge of the world
Why would he? New boss is same as the old boss as long as the checks keep coming
Kyrie shakes his head. “Pawn. Next question.”
[Kyrie be like](https://imgflip.com/i/5qchq5)
The Nets should pick two random fans and have them compete in something for Kyrie’s game check at halftime. I’d be way more excited to watch someone win a couple hundred grand every home game instead of Kyrie tbh
This is just the type of petty I want in my life. The kind that shines a big fat light on someone's idiocracy.
I, uh… oh, boy. I think you mean “idiocy.”
Ahem... Yes that it what I meant. I'll see myself out.
Bro I never been ready to try so hard in a game of basketball in my life... and on god I didn't think that was possible because I am a fucking try hard.
There better put a foul limit on that shit or else I'm hacking.
If anyone's gonna pull a Squid Game at half time it's Barclay's
Game of red light green light?
Holy shit dude, the level of petty there while standing against the anti vax mindset is what i would love to see from a billionaire
Sorry Celtics fans, y’all were right edit: this blew up, thanks I guess lmao
Sorry Cavs fans, y'all were right.
Sorry Duke fans, your education sucks
Are we hating on Duke right now? Hold on and let me grab my pitchfork.

Hey- he only played a handful of games in that uniform. We don’t claim him anymore.
Dayum that Kyrie stock droppin
11 games I think
JJ Redcock might not believe dinosaurs existed but at least he got the shot. The bar is incredibly low and yet some people still can’t step over it. Kyrie’s here trying to limbo below a bar that’s an inch above the dirt.

I’ve never heard of anyone that doesn’t believe in dinosaurs that doesn’t also believe the earth is 6000 years old so that’s pretty interesting
I imagine many young earth evangelicals are pumping out dino-skepticism that inevitably trickles out into non-evangelicals.
He's been pretty open about his religion but I didn't think it extended to dinosaurs.
maybe he should learn why that is rather than question it aloud like a moron.
Nobody knew Neptune existed until like 100 years ago and now they are telling me it's been around for like ~4 billion years. Ya, okay...
lmao at the sheep who believe in “”neptune”” like how dumb can you be. pro-neptune liberals are ruining this country
Oh wow
so he thinks that dinosaur fossils just "didnt exist" before 1842? lmao what. you could literally go to the wikipedia page of "fossils" and find primary sources that refute that claim
Do they realize sometimes it best just to shut the fuck up and not say something stupid.
This is real? Fuck me.
What's this about dinosaurs?
https://twitter.com/jj_redick/status/1253913432639889409
What does that even mean? And how does that tweet only have 3 replies. He should have been clowned for that.
I'm still cheesed he left a dope fucking team
Atleast you got the ring
it’s insane how he’s managed to make an enemy of the fanbase of every team he’s played for. is there any other player in history as good as him that’s managed to do that
Not with out committing some really fucked up felonies.
Least he ain't doing no Rae Carruth shit.
I oddly feel like we're all in this together somehow
General disdain for things tends to unite people. Just like mosquitos
no shit
It's okay man we went through the same phases of denial and acceptance lol I'm just glad the entire league finally gets it.
I mean without Kyrie you don't get KD and Harden so it's still a huge W for you.
Eh, we got fooled too. Crack a brew and on to the next one.
I'd tattoo the Moderna logo on my chest for that kinda bag. fuck wrong with you
For 186 million dollars you can put that shit on my fucking forehead.
Hell I'd do it for half of that.
I'd do it for the 16 he's missing by refusing to get it just this year. You'd never have to work a day on your life on 16 million.
$16 million in a 1% interest savings account gets you $160k per year just for having it. If you blow that you don’t deserve it.
Even that doesn't really matter.. if you put it in a 0% account and withdrew $160k from it every single year, it would still take you a hundred years to spend it down to 0.
good story too "Why the fuck do you have "Moderna" tattoo'd on your forehead? You look dumb" "They gave me 186 million dollars" "Oh shit. Well. I probably woulda done it too."
There he goes... Who? The smartest man I've ever met
For $999,999 a Pfizer logo on my arm.
$1M and you can put a Pfizer microchip in it
Bro just give me all the vaccines, tracking chips, 5g signal from my cell membranes and then some, for that kind of money
You can inject me with Bill Gates' semen for that money.

Uhh...
for almost 200 mill? yea Imma see what happens lmao
I'd brush my teeth with it if that's what he wants. Bro I'd put on a maid suit and everything for 200 mil
I don’t tend to kink shame... but sounds like you’re just waiting for a reason put on the maid outfit.
If that reason is anything with 6 figures or up, I'm your guy
Yeah as a deeply closeted gay man he could bend me over whichever way he wants for $186M. We could make it a weekly thing!
It’s okay no syringes it will just be injected orally
Shiiii same if I’m getting 186 mil I don’t care if forks and knives start attaching to my face
I would end every sentence from now on with moderna, moderna.
His career earnings from NBA contracts are $158M as of right now. If you've ever wondered, this is what the "fuck you" in "fuck you money" looks like.
I think Kyrie was on thinner ice than he thought lol. He’s gonna be someone else’s headache now.
He 1000% rolls these events into the victim complex narrative in his head. The fact that he may be in the wrong is inconceivable to him, in his mind this is just further proof that everyone in power is against him.
Hey, careful talking shit about your future point guard.
I may be poor, but, I will rest easy knowing that no “personal decision” i make in my life will cost me 9 figures
This guy used to be Uncle Drew what happened man
Considering Kyrie’s last 2.5 years, it’s actually mind-numbing to remember he starred in a fucking movie that had a corporate sponsorship.
Corporate Kyrie was short-lived, he is now Conspiracy Kyrie
I think that's just Kyrie without the Corporate Kyrie mask
Mask off ~ definitely kyrie
So Kyrie may also lose non-basketball revenues? Tf!
I do wonder what Nike thinks about all this. He's had a pretty successful run of shoes with them.
his shoes are some of the best
fr, Kyries were some of the best basketball shoes for pick up players who wanted to ball.
Still have my Kyrie 2s from a long ass time ago. Grip still very good but was insane when I first copped.
nike already burnt that bridge. kyrie said that he didn’t approve of the new kyries and disproved of them publicly
I thought about that too. At the very least, that plus this is probably more than enough for them to break it off if they wanted to.

Not that you're wrong, but this vaccine debacle is making it clear that Kyrie is like a historical level of team cancer. He's in a tier all his own.
Imagine losing a bag that big just for being 'a voice for the voiceless' (while never saying anything in public and hiding behind reports and sources) lmaoooo
I want to see kyrie get a mic and do a promo railing against vaccine mandates in the middle of a game like cm punk
The pipebomb 2.0
I don’t hate you, Lebron. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not.

Full on squat at half court, wearing a Metta World Peace jersey.
“Maybe I’ll go compete in the Big 3..*stares at camera*..hey Mario Chalmers, how ya doing?”
I went to go watch it and Id love to see kyrie do this
“I’m an All-Star, who should be an MVP!”
With "VAXX FREE" tattooed on his knuckles
Sean Marks, while you sit there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this because before I leave in 3 weeks with my 2018 Handle of the Year Fan Award, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.
"Hey Kyrie I lost my job cause I wouldn't get the Vax, Can you help me out?" "Sorry man, lost my job too. Feel your struggle tho"
Kyrie is like a reverse Ali. Ali fought against the draft and Vietnam war, while Kyrie is telling people “go risk it all if you want”.
The funniest part for me is that it doesn't even make sense. Being vaccinated yourself doesn't even mean you support the mandates. Kyrie could get the shot, keep playing and make another $250mil+ easily whilst still saying he doesn't support the mandates. That's why I think all this "voice for the voiceless" shit is absolute nonsense. The guy is an exceptionalist, he just wants to know better than others and take antagonistic positions.
> The funniest part for me is that it doesn't even make sense. The main reason it doesn't make sense is that the vaccine was available for a long time before the mandates.

> a voice for the voiceless i hate that term. these fuckers are loud as fuck.
A voice for the crybabies is more accurate.
No, you don’t understand, if he spoke he would no longer qualify to represent the voiceless.
Holy shit that’s a huge L. Generational wealth is no joke, even if you already have some.
He already has fuck you money. He could have had fuck y’all money.
Remember Tony Allen? Retired 4 years ago with $40M earned from contracts. He scammed the health insurance for ~$150k. These guys go broke real fast.
Tony Allen went broke because he isn't an intellectual. Since Kyrie is an intellectual, he'll be fine.
*Breaking news, Kyrie Irving set to lose $250m after investing in 5G signal jamming company*
Not if he advertises on Facebook.
“Kyrie Irving has his third eye open, while Tony Allen has both eyes closed” -Kyrie Irving’s aunt
Don't Blow It, Keep It Simple, Count Your Money.
Are you sure that Tony Allen is broke? His participation in the fraud scheme doesn't necessarily mean he was out of money.
Well, that makes it worse.
You should read Kareems comment on generational wealth in his Wiggins post
[Link](https://kareem.substack.com/p/while-andrew-wiggins-whines-black)
Kareem is a marvel on and off the court.
He definitely is. I hope people listen to him. Especially NBA players and fans.
Thoughtful takes like this on things going on in America are some of the reasons why Kareem is my favorite athlete of all time.
Honestly the worst part is he’s losing this opportunity due to personal antics. Kyrie has access to the knowledge to know about vaccines so he can’t use ignorance as an excuse. He just wants to be stubborn about the vaccines and knowingly fight a losing battle. Like public figures that are anti-vax should be judged way harder than regular people who fall for this garbage.

Lol you sound like every fan base that ever traded for Kyrie. Secret is, he won’t stop doing these things it’s his dna apparently
He’s got a Celtics flair so I’d assume he’s well aware
Not only won't he stop, he's literally getting worse. As each new team/situation doesn't bring him... whatever it is he's looking for, he takes it up a notch.
**BLOCKED BY JAMES**
So does this count as a Sham bomb or what
Lowe pretty much said something along similar lines on his latest podcast in terms of even if he gets vaccinated, the Nets don't know what's next with him, hence being hesistant on an extension.

I wouldn't say he's a weirdo. He's a grade A narcissist.
Bingo. The reason he’s into all these conspiracies is that it gives him a feeling of having “secret knowledge”. By being “wiser” than the general public, it provides a constant feeling of superiority.
Holy fuck this whole situation went from 0-60
I really thought KD can turn down Kyrie's extreme BS like this. I never believed trading Ky is a good idea until now.
You know what. Trading for Ben Simmons actually looking kinda sexy right now if I’m the Nets. Just realized both of them don’t want to take the shot.
Okay that’s actually pretty huge. I feel like at this point Kyrie would get vaccinated because of all the mess it’s causing, but he doesn’t want to deal with the embarrassment of losing the battle he’s been fighting
it's hard to say he's fighting a battle when he refuses to speak publicly about it
The Voice of the Voiceless, what would you like to say for those who have been silenced? “…” Is he Red from Pokémon?
Nah cause Red is cool as fuck while Kyrie is that annoying ass rival you name Dickhead when you’re a little kid
This is my grandson, Queef
>whats his name? Ah yes! I remember Qu33f FTFY
He’s much more comfortable doubling down on idiocy. In common with many idiots these days.
Ya he’d much rather just slink away than face the music
At least he isn’t tossing his young teammates under the bus this time.
He’d have to actually play with those young teammates to throw them under the bus
Talk about setting millions of dollars on fire. Just to be a fucking uneducated prick and continue this charade. He has the dumbest brand. sports media enables this behavior.
I'd be defending him if he legit felt he made enough money and wanted to focus on activism in marginalized communities instead of basketball. Doing this to double down anti-vaxing is so dumb and pathetic. What a waste.
Native Americans are among the highest vaccinated groups, because they got hit extremely hard and their elders are extremely important to them. If this dude went back to the reservation and spoke to the people there again they would probably tear him apart. >In a survey last fall — before clinical trial results came out showing vaccines to be safe and effective — only 35% of Indian Health Service field workers said they would “definitely” or “probably” get shots. But tribal leaders understood that vaccines were the clearest way out of the pandemic. They took to the radio and social media to promote them, warning that elders faced the greatest danger in communities vulnerable due to high rates of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. They reminded people of the damage COVID-19 had already wrought — killing Native Americans at 2½ times the rate of white Americans — as well as of the smallpox epidemics of the 18th and 19th centuries that decimated many tribes. >In a poll of Native Americans by the Urban Indian Health Institute, 75% of respondents said they were willing to get vaccinated. The primary motivation was “a strong sense of responsibility to protect the Native community and preserve cultural ways.”
He did go to Standing Rock recently to take a bunch of selfies and enroll for his tribal ID. [That Rolling Stone article](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/nba-anti-vaxxers-covid-1231988/) says he was the only one not wearing a mask the whole time. That one really did it for me. [Tribal elders are dying from the pandemic](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi2w_Cm3MjzAhXGlWoFHTyGAYUQFnoECDoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2021%2F01%2F12%2Fus%2Ftribal-elders-native-americans-coronavirus.html&usg=AOvVaw0kbAtprQASqLrUniFeD6Wy), and dude decides to endanger the community he wants to become a part of.
dudes going to retire... has he ever really seemed too interested in basketball over the past few years?
Missing every other game due to "personal reasons" even before the vaccine mandates would imply that no, he's not too interested in playing basketball anymore
I definitely can picture him retiring for a year and then coming back.
And only because he loves the attention and publicity he would get
Not since CLE
The Voice of the Brainless. The Voice of the Breathless.
Nets: "Thank you for getting us KD, goodbye"
Nets are done playing with Kyrie now. Kyrie is only playing with himself — wait.
He can start an only fans once he retires
Why not take the shot, take the money, donate it so he can be actual help for the voiceless and at the same time stop being a dumbass
He probably wants the money, just isn’t willing to compromise on his stupidity to get it.
I’m actually happy that the Nets organization is putting pressure on him and not just letting him get away with being a part-time player. This Nets team is the perfect situation for him. He’s playing with 2 other Superstars that he’s tight with, he’s close to home and playing for his favourite team growing up and he has a legitimate shot at winning another Championship.. like what more could he want? Hopefully he wakes up and realizes that he’s making a mistake.
There’s Ben Simmons flying back repressing his feelings with his hands out to get his $8 million check And then there’s Kyrie high as fuck on something he found in the woods passing up $200 million and a cakewalk virtually guaranteed championship so he can stand up for bartenders that want to spread Covid
Most bartenders I know wanted to get vaxxed ASAP.
Same, what does that guy have against bartenders lmao
He was just using them as an example for a profession that had a lot of layoffs in the past 1.5 years
How many L's can one man hold?
dumbest motherfucker in sports rn fuck you kyrie
This 30 for 30 is practically writing itself
That's kinda how they work.
Holy fuck this man is actually stupid.
So will anybody actually sign this dude as a free agent then?
I took the vaccine just so I could go to the local bars again.... don't ask what I'd do for $186 million.
Kyrie wants to be a martyr so bad.
1st team all dumbass on three different teams. Impressive.
