Everyone else's fault, right KyME??
”I cheer for them,” Irving said of the Nets, “but when things start to change and you’re not given transparency and honesty from people in the front office or people around you — I don’t know what person feels comfortable or confident in that type of environment. “And again, I don’t want to go into too many details because it’s water under the bridge now. I wish them well. I left them in fourth place. I did what I was supposed to do, took care of my teammates, was incredibly selfless in my approach to leading, and I just want to do all the right things for myself — not to appease anybody that had something negative to say about me or judge me.” – via Callie Caplan @ Dallas Morning News
Top Rumors, Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks
“The reporting and the journalism that was going to come out on why I left — I knew that was going to be speculation. But for me personally, sitting in this seat today, I just know I want to be places where I’m celebrated and not just tolerated or just kind of dealt with in a way that doesn’t make me feel respected. There were times throughout this process when I was in Brooklyn where I felt very disrespected and my talent — I work extremely hard at what I do. No one ever talks about my work ethic, though. “Everyone talks about what I’m doing off the floor, so I just wanted to change that narrative, write my own story and just continue preparing in the gym and now that I’m in Dallas, just focus on what I control.” – via Callie Caplan @ Dallas Morning News
Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks
“I think that’s another day where I could really go into detail about it,” Irving said. “I’m not the person to really speak on names and go to someone behind their back and try to leak stuff to the media. That’s never been me. Now I’ve been an audience member, watching people say things about me that ultimately just fall off my shoulder. I’m really in a place that I’m grateful that I got to grow into over the last year and a half, two years. – via Callie Caplan @ Dallas Morning News

Yes, in the world of Kyrie, it's everybody's fault.
He's just on another level.
That's why people don't understand him.
Kyrie in a nutshell!

Another one!!
Gee, what would Bill Parcells have to say to this clown??
In the aftermath of the Kyrie Irving trade, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has been engaged in conversations with owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks on the direction of the franchise and its ability to be a championship contender, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
So far, the Nets have insisted to Durant and inquiring teams that the organization has no intention of moving him prior to Thursday afternoon's trade deadline, sources said.

This is the perfect time to trade KD.
KD might get injured again if they wait.
And by the start of the next season, KD will be 35.
Nets should strike while the iron is still hot, so to speak.

I 'll never understand the LeBron hate from some.The guy is the best BB players in his generation, has taken care of his body to the point that he doing things that no one his age has ever done in the NBA. Gives back to the community's he is involved in and has never been a distraction like lesser players like Irving and others have been. not a lot of Athletes today can make the same statements with a straight face. more importantly he is a family man who has never had any legal issues, despite being a millionaire as an 18YO man/boy. I understand hating when he beats our favorite teams, but to diss/wish injury on a man that has been a standout person in his life is confusing to me. now if you want to wish Irving ill, I get that for sure. or one of the many other athletes who are criminals (A. Brown, D. Watson , K. Bryant to name a few). But Lebron....nah the guys been a model citizen even though he has been a target his whole adult life. That says something to me. Simply said.....
LBJ was, is and will always be.... a crybaby.
And I felt the very same way about Jabbar.

Yeah, never in trouble, good dad... Just plays bully ball and has been favored by the league from the minute he came in...not to mention his crybaby crap every time someone breathes on him, after he just barrelled through three guys like a fullback and took four steps...can't stand him... As I have stated many times before, I would root for him if he played tight end for the Patriots... |

Well, there's the fact that he goes out of his way to defend china because he's a paid spokesman through Nike. He also nurtured a lot of criticism with his "decision". Then there's the whining. |

Then, there's also this:
Mike Trudell: Asked about the GOAT debate, LeBron said: “I don’t know, I think it’s great barbershop (debate) … If I was a GM and I had the No. 1 pick, I’d take me. I believe in myself … I can’t take nobody over me.” – via Twitter LakersReporter
GOAT Debate, LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
And this:
Clutch Points: LeBron James: “A lot of people wanted me to go to the sky hook to break the record or one of my signature dunks. But my fadeaway is the signature play as well.” -LeBron James on his record-breaking shot pic.twitter.com/eTkJ6wyi4S – via Twitter ClutchPointsApp
LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
And, of course, this:
“I know for sure. I can play a couple more years… Try to compete for championships, that's something I feel like I can still do for any group of guys, for any franchise I can go out there and still help win multiple championships.”
- LeBron James 👀

Jordan uses cheap labor also from China doesn't contribute any of his billions for the poor. James gets a bad rap for one reason.. He never came to Boston.. Whining? Bull friggin' shit.. Grant has him beat by a long shot.. |

There should be a giant asterisk besides LeBrons name for breaking the scoring record, because of the 3 point shot!

That makes 27 reasons for a bad rap if my math and your premise are correct!
That said, he is still a world class whiner... and has been for 20 years and counting.
Grant is small 'taters compared to LBJ.

The Brits cut Hong Kong loose years ago. International law states. In the Hall of the People in Beijing, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang sign an agreement committing Britain to return Hong Kong to China in 1997 in return for terms guaranteeing a 50-year extension of its capitalist system. Hong Kong–a small peninsula and group of islands jutting out from China’s Kwangtung province–was leased by China to Great Britain in 1898 for 99 years. We stoled or invaded. I'm not sure I can name them all. Vietnam (South and North), Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, North Korea, Grenada, Haiti multiple times, does Bay of Pigs count (Cuba)? Panama, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Kuwait, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, there is some stuff going on in central and east Africa, but I don't know the details. Without troops, the CIA has interfered in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatamala, Nicaragua, Chile and Columbia. That's all I know about, but I'm sure it's far from all. Woops.. About half of Mexico don't know how i missed that..... |

That's why the complaints from HK and the retweet |

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan both shared a small brain.
50 years in black and white from 1997. We have 24 left according to the agreement.
China won't invade Hong Kong but Russia will invade anyone .
We best be making some concessions to China lesser of the two evils.
Fear mongering by the media your watching Tucker again.
The balloon was a joke it's been happening for years by both sides.
Now if you want to discuss the damage caused by the invasion of cheap Chinese plastics that i'll agree with .
The streets here and thu all of the world is littered by them...
