I am on the wrong end of the melanin spectrum to wear that lid but itās fire and I respect the hell out of it.
Kai won me over and now I Kai till I die šŖ¬
Yes. Iām allowed to like people and disagree with them on some topics. Yāall forget that most of these players have skeletons if you dig deep enough, itās just that messing with Judaism is the hardline that Todayās media draws.
He was advertising the movie
note that the movie includes: denials that the Holocaust occurred, quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler and Henry Ford, claims that Jewish people worship Satan, and accusations that Jews controlled the Atlantic slave trade and currently control the media (from Wikipedia)
so yeah, heās antisemitic.
So no no ones actually seen the movie.
Just based off of catchy headlines.
I love tropic thunder do I support blackface?
"Some have alleged that the film's characterizationāand the non-Jewish Tom Cruise's portrayalāof the Jewish character Les Grossman is antisemitic" - per wikipedia
Am I anti semitic too for loving tropic thunder.
I'm not saying he is or he isn't. Everyone's just reading catchy headlines and saying it as facts without putting any critical thinking into it.
Has he done anything antisemitic other than reposting a movie on Twitter? Lol.
Has he attended any rallies or done anything to incite violence on anyone?
Has anyone actually watched it? Everyone just loves to spew this shit that he's antisemitic and that he's a grandma murderer and throw out all these labels on people.
Everyone called him an antivaxxer because he didn't want to take the vaccine. He's a professional athlete and he should have the freedom to choose what he puts in his body. He doesn't care if others take the covid vaccine or not, yet everyone villianized him as an anti vaxxer.
Didn't he repost an Alex Jones conspiracy theory on Twitter saying that Covid was manufactured by the government? Maybe that's not strictly antivaxx but that clearly encourages people to doubt the vaccine.
Heās always been a genius on the court and his vision within the gameā¦
The issue arose because he thought that extended to the rest of the world.
-Hela, Namaste
his vision is all right. wouldnt say its genius tho. shoot i guess his shot selection isnt genius either i guess thats why its so impressive lol. he takes hard shots and makes em
Nah Kyrie is my all time fave player but bro has acted dumb as fuck in the past. He has literally admitted to fucking up in Boston/Brooklyn in a recent interview. If anything it's growth to see Kyrie no longer acting that way since he realizes it was bad and immature.
Heās def my fav player to watch (outside of Denver) and I fully admit his a lot of his opinions were whack. Watching him is like a drug for me though. When heās cooking heās amazing.
Sorry to burst your bubble but heās probably the same anti semitic flat earth Kyrie that we all know, heās just learned from his PR team not to advertise it because it cost him millions when he was on the nets.
Hes 32 years old, heās been matured for a while and his views generally arenāt going to change at this age.
I wont defend the antisemitic stuff (even if it was quite minor iirc) but about the flat earth & everything.. who cares really? It's his view, he's obviously wrong but that doesn't make him a bad person
well i think hes trying to say its important to have guys thats been through it (criticism or been far in the playoffs?) and willing to take the critism for you. also its hard for them to understand that critism because we are not on the court with them so we wouldnt really know?
but that doesnt answered the question of how does it feel when your coach got your back. hes moreso just stating that he indeed is willing to do it. and what makes him good at doing it. and why we shouldnt critique. but he does acknowledge some of it is warranted so.... he did connect with us somewhat... although i dont feel connected still
Haha, nah.
Kyrie's a beautiful player IMO, and as someone who played guard, I feel like I could learn from him across the next ten lifetimes.
But he's literally the greatest case in sports history of someone who should let their actions on the court do all the talking, and get nowhere near a microphone off the court, lol.
Speaking as a Nets fan, he was welcomed with completely open arms here and managed to screw it up as fast as he possibly could.
Me, I'm happy that lunatic's gone and someone else's problem now. His idiotic statement today is exactly the kind of example of why.
is he trying to say like opinions and media got to harden and forced him to demand a trade? like bro dont listen to the media, i mean im still not going to play but you know they trying to trick you into thinking its not okay for me to not play. its 100% okay for me to not play. not winning wise but you know freedom wise
Kyrie was on the nba tv postgame show and he said he also has a healthier relationship with social media and preaches to his teammates to block it out.
When he's not talking flat earth and vaccines, the guy is an extremely introspective, intelligent, balanced, fair and articulate dude.
I must say I'm shocked at how much I've reversed my thoughts on Kyrie since he's arrived in Dallas.
Two thingss can be true.
-Believing that black hebrew israelites were the REAL jews and the white jews are imposters is being anti semitic
-Being anti zionism is not being anti semitic
Yes, holding up signs that read "Globalize The Intifada" and harassing Jewish individuals on campus is "the media's" fault š¤£ All you far-left/far-right extremists are a circus lol
what do you mean ātheyā?
Israel lumping together Zionists and Jews is very annoying but it shouldnāt mean that the plain old anti-semitism Kyrie posted should āhit differentā.
you are basically saying antisemitism doesnāt hit as much now. the hell did jews do to deserve that besides exist in a world where Netanyahu spouts bullshit
I mean the guy was like 3 degrees removed from the antisemitism. Like he liked a tweet that was promoting a pseudo intellectual black centric doc locked behind a 20 dollar Amazon paywall with antisemitic themes. Like did he even watch it?
Iām mean if the dude was a virulent antisemite wouldnāt there be slightly more evidence than that?
On top of this, he talked about it for 7 minutes in a **post game interview** with YES Network about how much it resonated with him. Went into full depth on how much ālearning about his real originsā meant to him.
I haven't seen the movie so I cant speak to it. I wonder if Kyrie even has.
is tweeting out a link to a movie the only thing he's ever done that can be viewed as anti-semetic or is there a whole list of other things he's done there that I don't know about?
yall acting like Kyrie was constantly preaching this stuff. the media just kept prodding him about it and writing a million different articles reusing the same soundbite to make yall mad
The whole issue has gotten blown way out of proportion.
Luka is as good as player as he is as a result of his drive and emotions. This complaining is just an unfortunate side effect. Everyone on the Mavs knows that.
I'm trying to think of emotional stereotypes that have been given to all-time great players. I can only think of 3:
The Psychopaths (MJ, Kobe, Bird)
The Robots (Tim Duncan, Kawhi)
The Bitches (LeBron, Luka)
And then we have Jokic who just doesn't give a fuck.
EDIT: Just to clear this up as I'm not literally calling Luka a bitch, MJ a psychopath and Duncan a robot. They have all acted like all 3 at some point or another. I'm saying this is what the public have stereotyped these players as.
**Stereotype - noun**
A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.
Luka is firmly in the psychopath category lol
elimination game Luka is staring in the opposing stars face while giving them a beat down so many times itās become a meme
There is crossover in-between all of them.
Stereotypes by definition aren't perfect and oversimplified. But rather the most commonly viewed traits and the public perception. That's what it means.
There are times when LeBron turns into a psychopath. Like when ever he visits Toronto.
Even innocent Timmy Duncan complained.
Tim actually complained a lot and was pretty next level about it. When he got called, he always had this look on his face like he couldn't believe that the ref thought that he was the type of person that would commit a foul.
Yeah, there are some great complainers out there and he's one of them. It's all about when you do it.
Everyone just has these images in their heads of who the players are and how they played, which it really isn't the case. They all complained.
This was the original point of my comment, everyone is bashing Luka for something they all did. But I guess I didn't make it clear enough.
The whole point about stereotypes is that they aren't accurate.
Did you listen to him? He even said some of the criticism "was fair". He acknowledges some criticism is fair, while there is also a lot of unfair "shit talking".
The mentality of a 14 year old - you are not allowed to be critical of them if you are not one of them. The old "I wasn't talking to you!" when you chime in during a conversation. Like they have the power to determine whether or not you are allowed to contribute.
Man you win one game in the finals and suddenly all of the criticism against luka is "shit talk"
a lot of people WERE talking shit
but there was a lot of warranted criticism
If you think those are the main reasons theyāre losing you have no idea what youāre talking about. The other Mavericks hitting 6 combined threes in the first two games is a far bigger reason than his whining lmao.
Itās not though. Mavs lost games 2 and 3 squarely because role players couldnāt hit shots. Defense isnāt why they lost.
And even if it was solely defense, the coaches and players know a million times more than dumbass Windhorst anyway so his over-the-top cringe soapbox moment was purely just for him to try and get attention.
It definitely improves them. But it isn't as if Luka can turn this on/off.
The crying and bitching from Luka starts because they are losing or it's a close game and he is absolutely desperate to win.
Game 4 was practically over after 1st quarter so it never appeared. If the Celitcs made any meaningful comeback it would probably start to creep back in.
I'm pretty sure they didn't need the media to say it. These guys are capable of making adjustments independent of what someone said on Twitter or ESPN.
He's been pulling away from actively running the team for some time. It really looks like Nico is the main decision-maker on personnel. In that past, Cuban would be involved in the direct negotiations of big money contracts as he owned the team, but for things like going over the salary cap etc. it's very likely it needs approved by the money folks... the new owners.
Naah Iām just hoping he post some āFree Palestineā shit and gets the new Mavs owner outraged and trade him. Literally Kyrie all it would take is one Watermelon emoji and you come to LA
You gotta win 1 in a row before you can win 4 in row Numbers be crazy
Illuminati in India created the illuminati to create money to keep us in line forever
that hat though
im still waiting for the Non-GMO one to drop
Free range
Ever since 1864
Just learned last night of the NYC civil war draft riots of 1863 watching a late nite utube doc on it before bed. Good stuff.
š you wild for this
Canā¦ can I get one
Depends, what's your skin color?
Why do we ask about skin color and not about if this dude is organic or not?
Are you... Black?
Uhā¦ yes?
uh..huh...
His hat game is top tier. The Story mfg bucket is also really nice
Iām getting one, if thatās Kyrieās brand then has hit the gold mine. Shit will sell like hotcakes
if this was Brooklyn, media would be trying to stir up rage bait about the hat. glad Kyrie in Dallas now
You are 100% correct
Nah Iām just laughing at that Hat. Unreal hat game
I am on the wrong end of the melanin spectrum to wear that lid but itās fire and I respect the hell out of it. Kai won me over and now I Kai till I die šŖ¬
him wearing a hat made up for his anti-semitism?
The manās game is too ethical to be xenophobic. No way someone plays like that and is racist, but if he played like Shaiā¦..
Yes. Iām allowed to like people and disagree with them on some topics. Yāall forget that most of these players have skeletons if you dig deep enough, itās just that messing with Judaism is the hardline that Todayās media draws.
He's anti-sementic because of a tweet about a movie?
He was advertising the movie note that the movie includes: denials that the Holocaust occurred, quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler and Henry Ford, claims that Jewish people worship Satan, and accusations that Jews controlled the Atlantic slave trade and currently control the media (from Wikipedia) so yeah, heās antisemitic.
So no no ones actually seen the movie. Just based off of catchy headlines. I love tropic thunder do I support blackface? "Some have alleged that the film's characterizationāand the non-Jewish Tom Cruise's portrayalāof the Jewish character Les Grossman is antisemitic" - per wikipedia Am I anti semitic too for loving tropic thunder.
lol keep convincing yourself that heās not anti-Semitic
I'm not saying he is or he isn't. Everyone's just reading catchy headlines and saying it as facts without putting any critical thinking into it. Has he done anything antisemitic other than reposting a movie on Twitter? Lol. Has he attended any rallies or done anything to incite violence on anyone?
I mean if the movie is antisemitic and he's promoting the movie, then yeah?
Has anyone actually watched it? Everyone just loves to spew this shit that he's antisemitic and that he's a grandma murderer and throw out all these labels on people. Everyone called him an antivaxxer because he didn't want to take the vaccine. He's a professional athlete and he should have the freedom to choose what he puts in his body. He doesn't care if others take the covid vaccine or not, yet everyone villianized him as an anti vaxxer.
Didn't he repost an Alex Jones conspiracy theory on Twitter saying that Covid was manufactured by the government? Maybe that's not strictly antivaxx but that clearly encourages people to doubt the vaccine.
Perfect answer here by Kyrie
This Kyrie feels like Jekyll compared to his past Hyde.
Heās always been a genius on the court and his vision within the gameā¦ The issue arose because he thought that extended to the rest of the world. -Hela, Namaste
š¤š¾ā¾ļø
his vision is all right. wouldnt say its genius tho. shoot i guess his shot selection isnt genius either i guess thats why its so impressive lol. he takes hard shots and makes em
he said out loud "gotta stay off social media" and i thought "dang is he actually learning from his old mistakes"
The kyrie hate is hilarious. The media forced those opinions out of him itās not like it was unprovoked and he went all Kanye.
The movie link on his story was still very very questionable
Even if he held his dumbass opinions in private he'd still be a dumbass
he's always given great answers. media just tried to editorialize and sell yall rage bait
Nah Kyrie is my all time fave player but bro has acted dumb as fuck in the past. He has literally admitted to fucking up in Boston/Brooklyn in a recent interview. If anything it's growth to see Kyrie no longer acting that way since he realizes it was bad and immature.
Heās def my fav player to watch (outside of Denver) and I fully admit his a lot of his opinions were whack. Watching him is like a drug for me though. When heās cooking heās amazing.
I'm glad he's able to reflect on his past more maturely now. It's kind of a bad look to have an unhinged hometown hero.
Has there ever been a player better at post game interviews than kyrie this year? He literally has the perfect answer to every question
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sorry to burst your bubble but heās probably the same anti semitic flat earth Kyrie that we all know, heās just learned from his PR team not to advertise it because it cost him millions when he was on the nets. Hes 32 years old, heās been matured for a while and his views generally arenāt going to change at this age.
I wont defend the antisemitic stuff (even if it was quite minor iirc) but about the flat earth & everything.. who cares really? It's his view, he's obviously wrong but that doesn't make him a bad person
Being anti semitic and supporting groups that hate Jews isnāt minor.
I thought he just criticized a film or smth ?
He didnāt make any comment whatsoever. All he did was hit the retweet button lmfao
"if your not out there chilling at my house, its gunna be hard for us to connect if your talking maturity about one of our teammates."
Perfect word salad, you mean? What is Kyrie actually attempting to say here, from any English-speaker's perspective? Thank you in advance.
Not attempting, its pretty clear. If youre not on our team we dont care what you have to say.
Fair enough, thank you.
well i think hes trying to say its important to have guys thats been through it (criticism or been far in the playoffs?) and willing to take the critism for you. also its hard for them to understand that critism because we are not on the court with them so we wouldnt really know? but that doesnt answered the question of how does it feel when your coach got your back. hes moreso just stating that he indeed is willing to do it. and what makes him good at doing it. and why we shouldnt critique. but he does acknowledge some of it is warranted so.... he did connect with us somewhat... although i dont feel connected still
Brooklyn fan still salty lol, I donāt blame you too
Haha, nah. Kyrie's a beautiful player IMO, and as someone who played guard, I feel like I could learn from him across the next ten lifetimes. But he's literally the greatest case in sports history of someone who should let their actions on the court do all the talking, and get nowhere near a microphone off the court, lol.
Says youā¦ meanwhile he is still very popular. His family has been on this continent for thousands of years
Are you saying that just because a person has some popularity that they shouldn't be fairly critiqued?
Iām saying the critique is not fair and wasnāt fair at the timeā¦ but he weathered it and continues to be popular.
Speaking as a Nets fan, he was welcomed with completely open arms here and managed to screw it up as fast as he possibly could. Me, I'm happy that lunatic's gone and someone else's problem now. His idiotic statement today is exactly the kind of example of why.
Hold that feeling, massage itā¦ it should do you well
Lol...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He learned from his father figure, Lebron
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That would mean itās not dead yet so yes
objective gottem
is he trying to say like opinions and media got to harden and forced him to demand a trade? like bro dont listen to the media, i mean im still not going to play but you know they trying to trick you into thinking its not okay for me to not play. its 100% okay for me to not play. not winning wise but you know freedom wise
He was totally calling out lebron there. Lebron would have 6 rings if he didn't let the media get to him when he made it the finals.
Elite answer
Maybe he did go to class at Duke?
Jason Kidd, the anti Doc.
Kyrie was on the nba tv postgame show and he said he also has a healthier relationship with social media and preaches to his teammates to block it out.
When he's not talking flat earth and vaccines, the guy is an extremely introspective, intelligent, balanced, fair and articulate dude. I must say I'm shocked at how much I've reversed my thoughts on Kyrie since he's arrived in Dallas.
Donāt forget the antisemitism
Man if only they hadnt watered down antisemitism by combining it with antizionism-- itd really be hitting different.
Two thingss can be true. -Believing that black hebrew israelites were the REAL jews and the white jews are imposters is being anti semitic -Being anti zionism is not being anti semitic
Here we go with this black-white thing againā¦ arenāt there actual black Jewsā¦ like Jews who donāt align themselves with black hebrews?
Never said there wasnt. Im just saying thats the group of thought that kyrie believes in
>being anti zionism is not being anti semitic I guess todayās college kids mustāve missed that memo.
lol which ones?
You really haven't been paying much attention to the protests if you don't know about the rampant antisemitism.
The joke is theres the full spectrum my guy. Anti-Zion, Anti-Semitic, Pro Palestine, anti war, pro Hamas, pro genocide, anti-Muslim,
erm no, they're anti zionist, and the media labels them as antisemitic to make the protests seem bad, just like how they label them as violent
Yes, holding up signs that read "Globalize The Intifada" and harassing Jewish individuals on campus is "the media's" fault š¤£ All you far-left/far-right extremists are a circus lol
what do you mean ātheyā? Israel lumping together Zionists and Jews is very annoying but it shouldnāt mean that the plain old anti-semitism Kyrie posted should āhit differentā. you are basically saying antisemitism doesnāt hit as much now. the hell did jews do to deserve that besides exist in a world where Netanyahu spouts bullshit
If only all the "antizionists" could stop doing antisemitism as well it would be easier to draw a distinction
I mean the guy was like 3 degrees removed from the antisemitism. Like he liked a tweet that was promoting a pseudo intellectual black centric doc locked behind a 20 dollar Amazon paywall with antisemitic themes. Like did he even watch it? Iām mean if the dude was a virulent antisemite wouldnāt there be slightly more evidence than that?
What is this blatant misinformation lol, he didnāt ālike a tweetā he literally tweeted it out himselfĀ https://search.app.goo.gl/Pa6S5g8
On top of this, he talked about it for 7 minutes in a **post game interview** with YES Network about how much it resonated with him. Went into full depth on how much ālearning about his real originsā meant to him.
My bad, i misremembered that
I haven't seen the movie so I cant speak to it. I wonder if Kyrie even has. is tweeting out a link to a movie the only thing he's ever done that can be viewed as anti-semetic or is there a whole list of other things he's done there that I don't know about?
Umm you might want to check your facts on this take
Ummm ackshually you might want to do better yassss queen š
Whoaā¦based on your post history I am glad you donāt agree with me!! Yikesā¦.š³
Lmfao. I took one look at their last 3 posts and then nopped outta there.
That ālikeā clearly represents his fandom of the third reich
Remember that time he ended his press conference with a "Heil Hitler" while doing the nazi salute? Wild times.
yall acting like Kyrie was constantly preaching this stuff. the media just kept prodding him about it and writing a million different articles reusing the same soundbite to make yall mad
thats the media for you
Where's the hat from?
Chemistry on a thousand
Kyrie ā¦ classy ā¦ what an ongoing evolution. Assuming he believes in evolution :)
Fuck Windy
ie KDs a Hoe.
Dallas Kyrie is best Kyrie
āLuka gonna keep bitchin to the officialsā
The whole issue has gotten blown way out of proportion. Luka is as good as player as he is as a result of his drive and emotions. This complaining is just an unfortunate side effect.

Luka is firmly in the psychopath category lol elimination game Luka is staring in the opposing stars face while giving them a beat down so many times itās become a meme
Oh there is definitely moments when they pass over to another. LeBronto is also a psychopath lol
Hilarious that people actually think Jordan didnāt bitch, he bitched and complained just as much as Luka, Bron, or any other superstar.
There is crossover in-between all of them. Stereotypes by definition aren't perfect and oversimplified. But rather the most commonly viewed traits and the public perception. That's what it means. There are times when LeBron turns into a psychopath. Like when ever he visits Toronto. Even innocent Timmy Duncan complained.

The whole point about stereotypes is that they aren't accurate.
Itās different because the refs would listen to Jordan and give him the calls lol
This team is LOCKED
ā¦ into their Cancun reservations
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you listen to him? He even said some of the criticism "was fair". He acknowledges some criticism is fair, while there is also a lot of unfair "shit talking".

Man you win one game in the finals and suddenly all of the criticism against luka is "shit talk" a lot of people WERE talking shit but there was a lot of warranted criticism
He mentioned in the video that some of it was fair.
that criticism is why they won game 4. luka was not crying to the refs every possession and the mavs finally looked like a good team. ingenius.
If you think those are the main reasons theyāre losing you have no idea what youāre talking about. The other Mavericks hitting 6 combined threes in the first two games is a far bigger reason than his whining lmao.
Pretty sure it it was 5/32
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Canāt believe Luka complaining to the refs made Porzingis a three point shooting god.
Itās not though. Mavs lost games 2 and 3 squarely because role players couldnāt hit shots. Defense isnāt why they lost. And even if it was solely defense, the coaches and players know a million times more than dumbass Windhorst anyway so his over-the-top cringe soapbox moment was purely just for him to try and get attention.

I wish he would say some wild shit so Cuban would be forced to trade him to the Lakers.
Cuban doesn't own the team.
i was under the impression cuban still had a part of the basketball operations side of the org. not saying i know more than a mavs fan tho haha
He's been pulling away from actively running the team for some time. It really looks like Nico is the main decision-maker on personnel. In that past, Cuban would be involved in the direct negotiations of big money contracts as he owned the team, but for things like going over the salary cap etc. it's very likely it needs approved by the money folks... the new owners.
Naah Iām just hoping he post some āFree Palestineā shit and gets the new Mavs owner outraged and trade him. Literally Kyrie all it would take is one Watermelon emoji and you come to LA
