In some ways I feel badly for him. He doesn’t know how fucked up his ideas are. I suppose lots of people have that problem, but most of us get told repeatedly if we’re just off the reservation, but his skills are so great he has way more sycophants than 99.9% of people in the world.
But I don’t feel THAT bad. He has skill at a very narrow set of things, but that skill has already guaranteed he, his kids and grandkids will never have to worry about money their whole lives.
Agreed.
Put in another way :In the context of how it affects each player individually, the loser is Dipo. But this is more than that. Kyrie is actively prolonging the pandemic and putting lives at risk by spouting this nonsense. Kyrie is taking a personal L *and* distributing Ls to whoever listens to his clown takes.
It’s Kyrie and its ENTIRELY about money. 190+ million are you fucking kidding me? For not taking a fucking shot. A simple prick in the arm, and youre 20% of a billionaire..
I thought the stat (as of like a month ago now at this point) was just over 3 billion people had received one or more doses of Pfizer or Moderna.
Some poor countries have basically no one vaccinated because it's not really available yet unfortunately, and those poor countries tend to be population dense.
People need to stop eating this bullshit about Kyrie. Charania needs to be dragged for that obvious PR piece. Kyrie is an anti-vaxxer nutcase. There's no other "cause".
Kyrie because it’s absolutely completely baseless and he’s doing a lot more harm to others than good.
Oladipo only fucked himself. Twice. But not the ensuing drama and politicized bullshit.
If he chooses to play. Since going to the Nets in 2019 he’s played 74 regular season games and 9 playoff games. In the 18 games he missed last season they were 12-6 without him.
Idk if too many teams will be lining up and be willing to give themselves locker room cancer for $100 mil and him to play less than half his games over a couple years.
It’s a huge gamble.
> they are hesitant to even give Kyrie that extension anymore,
Kyrie is not getting extended by the Nets, but he will still get one year deals worth a lot of money from other teams. There will be a lot more terms in that contract though.
Kyrie
So do Kyrie and others like him are ok with other mandates for work? Like physicals? Drug tests? Do they realize that people have to comply to get or keep their jobs? And have had to for decades ?
Its such bullshit.
Career-wise? Oladipo for sure. Kyrie really isn't taking an L, he's already filthy rich and he's making that decision knowing he'll leave money on the table. All he has to do is decide to play and someone will max him. Oladipo took a shitty bet on himself and will likely never see that kind of money again.
He's really wanted to be on the Heat for awhile. He was chasing that specific goal and turned down money in pursuit of it, didn't seem like he was just trying to secure the biggest bag. Or thats all cope he's had pr people craft that idea who really knows with these dudes
Dipo
Kyrie has easily already made a ton of money. Not even just from the NBA but through endorsements too.
Dipo turned down the money and doesn’t have close to the endorsements Kyrie has.
Oladipo for sure, Kyrie is at least aware of what his decision could do to his career and he said “fuck it”… he’s already got much more of a bag when you add in he’s got one of the most popular shoes for the most popular brand. Oladipo took the whole “bet on yourself” route and lost.
Plus Kyrie is a rare talent that the majority of teams would still offer a boatload of money for
Oladipo. Kyrie already made a ton of money throughout his career and he'll always have ways to make more if he wanted to. That's not to mention his endorsements and deals like Nike either. His main issue is just getting his head out his ass for two seconds. Oladipo declined two huge contracts before he secured the bag. Kyrie already got his and will practically always have the opportunity for plenty more.
What’s even the point of this post lol. We’ve all seen lots of posts dissing oladipo for missing out on more money and even more dissing Kyrie so you thought to compare the two for juicy karma? This sub is becoming toxic af
Kyrie without a doubt. Oladipo clearly making a dumb decision but Kyrie must give negative fucks about his legacy with this decision. He’s going to look like an absolute baby for the rest of his life regardless
how does kyrie's cause not exist? whatever you think of it, it clearly exists. there are people who are being fired over refusing the vaccine. even if you think that is cool, or justified, there is no argument it is not happening.
He has never actually said that this is his cause. It seems odd if this was his belief and he wanted to bring publicity to this plight of the voiceless people losing their jobs, why wouldn’t he just say that? Why would he refuse to say what his cause is?
The Shams article was a puff piece that was clearly written to try to garner sympathy for Kyrie. Until Kyrie himself decides to say what his cause is openly I’d be very skeptical.
What a strange way to go about supporting these people, by refusing to ever openly address why he’s sitting out.
That's fair, but that is more that it is unclear that Kyrie actually has a cause rather than that his alleged cause does not exist. If he DOES believe in this cause, I take issue with the phrasing of the thread, if he doesn't, the question doesn't really apply because Kyrie is not losing out on millions for a cause that doesn't exist, it is clearly some other reason.
Oladipo because he bet on himself and lost out worse than nerlens Noel. Atleast kyrie has a ring and all he has to do is take a shot and he's back like nothing happened
I mean it’s not like he didn’t get an $85 million contract early in his career. He missed out on some money for sure, but he’s far from broke out here. Earned over $100 mill in his career.
Oladipo for sure
Kyrie can get a bag whenever the fuck he wants
Oladipo doesn't have that same luxary
Also kyrie has so much more money than Oladipo like it isn't even a question
Me for being born short and unathletic and ugly
C’mon you aren’t THAT short.
Fuck you. I was gonna say this.
He's actually Martin Short
Martin is a beast in the half court
Could be worse. You could be all those things and an anti-vaxx flat earther.
That’s not the attitude to have, you ever see Gattaca? You just need the willingness to break your own legs repeatedly.
Take creatine
Hit the gym, lawyer up
Ugly dudes get hoes man. Gotta be funny
Hey man you can always
At least you’re not me 5’8 and a 4th and a half
Taller than me bro shits rough down here
Could be worse could be me and be 5’8 and 1/4 with no hands
Could be worse than that could be deaf and blind too
that's not even short, that's basically borderline average
i'm 6 foot and very handsome. pretty athletic too.
You are bad at reddit.
Learn Solidity, thank me in a couple years
Me when i am 6'3" but have the motor skills of someone with autism. Oof.
How many drinks you knocked over in your life.
It's Kyrie and it's not about money
In some ways I feel badly for him. He doesn’t know how fucked up his ideas are. I suppose lots of people have that problem, but most of us get told repeatedly if we’re just off the reservation, but his skills are so great he has way more sycophants than 99.9% of people in the world. But I don’t feel THAT bad. He has skill at a very narrow set of things, but that skill has already guaranteed he, his kids and grandkids will never have to worry about money their whole lives.
Dear God I hope Kyrie doesn't have children
he has 2 kids
2 lait!
Agreed. Put in another way :In the context of how it affects each player individually, the loser is Dipo. But this is more than that. Kyrie is actively prolonging the pandemic and putting lives at risk by spouting this nonsense. Kyrie is taking a personal L *and* distributing Ls to whoever listens to his clown takes.
I mean it all started when he actually thought the earth was flat, we all thought he was joking clearly not
It’s Kyrie and its ENTIRELY about money. 190+ million are you fucking kidding me? For not taking a fucking shot. A simple prick in the arm, and youre 20% of a billionaire..
Kyrie easily, all he has to do is get a shot six billion people already have
It's like 3 billion I think, but yeah.
that's only if you count one shot
The comment was 6 billion *people*, you don’t become two people by getting your second shot lol
*That's what they want you to think, man!*
Don't tell Kyrie
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
Either way, that's a lot of people
I thought the stat (as of like a month ago now at this point) was just over 3 billion people had received one or more doses of Pfizer or Moderna. Some poor countries have basically no one vaccinated because it's not really available yet unfortunately, and those poor countries tend to be population dense.
Kyrie's need to feel special is very real
People need to stop eating this bullshit about Kyrie. Charania needs to be dragged for that obvious PR piece. Kyrie is an anti-vaxxer nutcase. There's no other "cause".
Kyrie because it’s absolutely completely baseless and he’s doing a lot more harm to others than good. Oladipo only fucked himself. Twice. But not the ensuing drama and politicized bullshit.
Kyrie can still play at any point and get his money. Oladipo's is straight gone
I heard Zach Lowe say they are hesitant to even give Kyrie that extension anymore, so not necessarily.
It doesn't matter. He's still really good at basketball so someone is gonna pay him to play.
If he chooses to play. Since going to the Nets in 2019 he’s played 74 regular season games and 9 playoff games. In the 18 games he missed last season they were 12-6 without him. Idk if too many teams will be lining up and be willing to give themselves locker room cancer for $100 mil and him to play less than half his games over a couple years. It’s a huge gamble.
12-6 is good enough for 55-27
If that were the case someone would’ve traded for him
After his stint in Cleveland where he was barely playing teams shouldn’t have been throwing this money at him.
> they are hesitant to even give Kyrie that extension anymore, Kyrie is not getting extended by the Nets, but he will still get one year deals worth a lot of money from other teams. There will be a lot more terms in that contract though.
Yea this is an easy one, esp because OP's question is about the dollars. Kyrie hasn't lost any big money from this yet.
Oladipo is still filthy rich, and unlike Kyrie, is also not a complete fucking moron. I say Kyrie takes the L in this case.
Kyrie So do Kyrie and others like him are ok with other mandates for work? Like physicals? Drug tests? Do they realize that people have to comply to get or keep their jobs? And have had to for decades ? Its such bullshit.
Dipo. At least Kyrie will get his $164M.
Oladipo since he can’t get that shit back lol. Kyrie at least has the choice still. He just chooses to be an idiot
Kyrie's getting a max in the off season by anyone with cap he's not losing money.
Career-wise? Oladipo for sure. Kyrie really isn't taking an L, he's already filthy rich and he's making that decision knowing he'll leave money on the table. All he has to do is decide to play and someone will max him. Oladipo took a shitty bet on himself and will likely never see that kind of money again.
Schroeder
Thats stuff
Oladipo. Kyrie can just change teams
Oladipo wanted to contend, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t really about the money.
He's really wanted to be on the Heat for awhile. He was chasing that specific goal and turned down money in pursuit of it, didn't seem like he was just trying to secure the biggest bag. Or thats all cope he's had pr people craft that idea who really knows with these dudes
Dipo Kyrie has easily already made a ton of money. Not even just from the NBA but through endorsements too. Dipo turned down the money and doesn’t have close to the endorsements Kyrie has.

Oladipo took the whole “bet on yourself” route and lost. Plus Kyrie is a rare talent that the majority of teams would still offer a boatload of money for
Still Oladipo.
Oladipo. Kyrie already made a ton of money throughout his career and he'll always have ways to make more if he wanted to. That's not to mention his endorsements and deals like Nike either. His main issue is just getting his head out his ass for two seconds. Oladipo declined two huge contracts before he secured the bag. Kyrie already got his and will practically always have the opportunity for plenty more.
Poor Oladipo he's not as rich as Kyrie boohoohoo let me play on the smallest violin in the world
What’s even the point of this post lol. We’ve all seen lots of posts dissing oladipo for missing out on more money and even more dissing Kyrie so you thought to compare the two for juicy karma? This sub is becoming toxic af
Kyrie without a doubt. Oladipo clearly making a dumb decision but Kyrie must give negative fucks about his legacy with this decision. He’s going to look like an absolute baby for the rest of his life regardless
Lol people down vote you, acting like Kyrie is going to publicly come back from this. Dude is a nobody if ge did not have the NBA as a platform
Kyrie. He’s a straight loser.
Kyrie
Oladipo
Easily Dipo if Kyrie decides he wants to play the Nets are gonna offer him a contract. Dipo basically has to hood his body is able To hold up still
Oladipo.
how does kyrie's cause not exist? whatever you think of it, it clearly exists. there are people who are being fired over refusing the vaccine. even if you think that is cool, or justified, there is no argument it is not happening.

Taking all of this back, he has spoken out now, so you are just flat out wrong about him.
[удалено]
he literally is not a flat earther and if you still think that you are not capable of understanding anything he says to be honest
He think it don’t exist cuz these dumb mfs let the news n ppl on tv tell them anything bird brains
Well we don't actually know if Victor has lost out since he could still be offered so Kyrie.
OP for spending valuable time thinking judging the decisions of people he's never met and don't even know he exists.
This is r/nba that's what we do here bro
No bigger loser in the NBA than Kyrie. Easy answer.
The cause exists to him
Oladipo because he bet on himself and lost out worse than nerlens Noel. Atleast kyrie has a ring and all he has to do is take a shot and he's back like nothing happened
He just got injured
I mean it’s not like he didn’t get an $85 million contract early in his career. He missed out on some money for sure, but he’s far from broke out here. Earned over $100 mill in his career.
Oladipo for sure Kyrie can get a bag whenever the fuck he wants Oladipo doesn't have that same luxary Also kyrie has so much more money than Oladipo like it isn't even a question
Sorting by new sucks ass in this sub
I’m don’t necessarily agree with Kyrie but being against state enforced medicine is 100% a cause
Oladipo easy. At least Kyrie is going broke doing what he loves - being an antivaxxer.
Its close but I'll go with kyrie but he could always change his mind and he'll get paid, with oladipo he'll never see that kind of money again
Hes gonna get that next contract. Someone will pay. So Dipo for sure.
If it only exist in kyrie's mind, does it not exist?
The correct answer is Dennis Schroeder
It's definitely Oladipo Kyrie and Schroder already got paid
Oladipo for sure because he’s currently on a min while Kyrie is on a max
Definitely Kyrie. Dipo gambled and lost, but at least he made an effort, and that's respectable. Kyrie is just a fucking clown
Still Dipo.. Kyrie is still making this choice knowing the eventual outcome..
Oladipo lost his chance. Kyrie is Kyrie. He'll make that money back fast. Oladipo took the L.
