NBA Pass/Fail: Kyrie Irving Leading Players Who Believe NBA Restart Is Bad Optics, others weigh in

He’s not the only one that had that thirst
Agreed. But other players like Melo like ion know about dis shit.
Not an ideal optic for the league
So then it shouldn't come back next year, either?
The players are in a very powerful position right now. Unless concessions are made who knows. But it would never happen.
Kawhi seem like the type of dude who sits at home with a jersey on at all time waiting for the fellas to text him hey lets go hoop and he there in 5 minutes because he genuinely enjoys the game.
No he seems like the typical dumb jock white folks love. Always got his head down acting aloof, played for and was associated with a high profile white coach in Pop. Racially ambigious baby mama. Dont speak up on any issues ever. Dude is a clown, but since hes a rival of LeBron people act like we not supposed to say nothing. All these dudes that NBA fans root for that didn't say nothing the last 3 months bout to get clowned.
I single Kawhi out cuz hes sold as the best player or comparable to all time greats but dont put none of the work in off AND on the court that they did. He's overrated.
We are all doomed if people start following Kyrie anywhere.
What he's saying is dumb.
Change dont happen overnight, and it certainly doesnt happen because white folks cant go without their basketball season.
The NFL is starting on time whether we like it or not. MLB isnt even aware of the protests and will get going too. White folk wont give a single fuck about an NBA season.
Besides, I can make a case that by playing and being the only national sport going at that time, the players will have access to an even bigger platform then they ever had.
Hmmmm....
I don't want to call him dumb I've called him thst so many times in the past and apparently he is actually quite bright
I can UNDERSTAND what he saying OVERALL
And it kinda connects with your point
If the nba is first and successful?
They will DOMINATE media across the country period
And could really be a critical influential voice for the cause
There is also high risk if there isn't some type of unified message.
Kyrie is right about focus too and again I'm twisting his stuff a little but
White folk are FRANTIC to switch focus
Frantic.
We need to keep the pressure on.
And NOT playing could also be a very powerful weapon
No one gives a sh*t about Nhl and i actually watch and go to games on occasion.
And they under pressure too as one of the smallest and whitest major sports.
All anyone cares about is football so we'll just leave that
Mls golf nascar whatever
Mlb is so f*cked everyone mad at them might be the ONLY thing the whole country agrees on.
I think the nba should play
if its safe and no one should be forced and of course i dont trust these white folk.
The real issue is kyrie is absolutely the wrong spokesman for this argument
His wife is black I thought?
He's not married. His baby mama is white.
There's no way Lebron is going to allow them to take away his chances at a 4th ring.
If he does boycott them, I will personally crown him the greatest nba player ever based on community service and leadership.
If he doesn't, that won't diminish him in my eyes. Some of these cats crying about being in a 5 star hotel for 2 months. Guys like me do the same shit living in a room the size of a big closet to take care of our children.
Finish the season, bring up grievances while you have the media spotlight. Many of these guys have media companies. Fill the airwaves with the truth and force any cac watching to have to see you on your terms.
Shut up and teach. Shut up and educate. Shut up and show the youth what strong black men can do together. Shut up and use your platform for your people.
He's a nutcase but he's not wrong. I personally think they can use the platform to reach more. If they hold out, you won't be able to reach the maximum amount of people.
Kyrie been in the league 10 years and he all a sudden a social justice warrior willing to die for this shit. 
We've never heard the guy speak out on anything meaningful to blacks and when he gets the mic he struggles to articulate a coherent chain of thought.
Does he think racism will be cured in the next 90 days so its best to wait til next season to play? I bet he would have a different "strategy" if KD was ready. I wouldn't be surprised if he himself isn't healthy either and he tryna hide that behind the guise of social activism.

points noted and they make sense

I just laughed so hard when I read that. Kyrie is kind of a fake ultra militant type. I'm sure he wants what is best, but going way over the top with it.
A lot of Super Negroes are popping up everywhere. Almost fighting to see who can be the most righteous one of all.
Good for them in a way I guess, but this shit is going to take time.
I don't have strong feelings either way for Kyrie on this one.
You've got ppl who desperately want to continue in hopes of having a ring
I understand that but also it seems like they don't have all the information needed to ensure their safety.
This is a damn pandemic.
So just saying go to Orlando and stay in the crib... That sounds good just wonder about guaranteed safety.
Idk about the racism angle
He's not wrong about it but it's not necessarily right either.
Ultimately the players....all of them should decide
They're painting it as just Kyrie but there has to be more than him thinking his way or there wouldn't be multiple zoom calls. Just one where Kyrie said what he said and everyone else said foh

Fam, NHL games costs pennies out in Sunrise.
Free parking, good seats, 2 hot dogs and a beer for 10$...
Anyway...
The season supposed to start at the end of July.
NFL training camps will probably have already started or will be about to.
The distraction angle is moot at this point.
White folks been without NBA ball before. Its the NFL they cant live without.
As usual, Kyrie shows a complete lack of self awareness.
I don't understand your NHL point
but i aint no kyrie fan and don't necessarily agree with his view on this
BUT
I initially thought his heart was is in the right place and he was being genuine
however NOW i'm hearing there may be a more personal motive here.
so now I got no idea what he up to.
There are only two groups of players/people who want the season as is to continue. Players who need the money and players/people who would like their favorite player to get a shot at a ring without having to go through the likes of Golden State or Kevin Durant. (lol) #skate
Oh my NHL comment wasnt a point, I was just saying its good cheap entertainment in Fl so I go watch their games too.
As for Kyrie, what are you hearing about his motives? Honestly Im not sure hos motives even matter at the end of the day, I just think overall its a bad idea even though it is worth discussing.
Not really.
The season was pretty much over and the season would be over this week if things weren't stopped.
This is an entirely new money grab that they'll pocket off of the TV deal.
Apparently the Klutch thing. They got paid this year, but what they got paid this year will be taken from next year.
So the owners still win.
Flatearthers aint all there.Ain't kyrie bipolar or some shit?
I also want to know which one is it
Covid, being sequestered for three months or racial tension
Maybe a combination
Because I think some players are masking shit
CP3 had his chance to make a stand with Donald Sterling...still played for him...kept playing for him...played in that next game.
And the Covid shit, these people at supermarkets and fast food places never stopped working.
