[QUOTE=Seaweed;29197536]I never knew you were such a jerk. It’s unbelievable how he can call a teammate out in public like that and throw him under the bus. Wasn’t he supposed to be a leader[/QUOTE]
this guy is the leader of that team once he gets back on hardwood.

A team leader calls out his teammates when they play like crap or do stupid stuff.. I have no problem with this.

The greats like MJ and Kobe I'm sure called their teammates worse names at times then a jerk.

Mj and kobe to a lesser extent delivered and made good on it, upholding their end of the criticism.

Kyrie hasn't done anything except get injured and collect a paycheck with consistency. He was a stat stuffing loser before LeBron if you bother to check the stats

**pologq** · 01-16-20, 11:37 AM

i am surprised at this wording. don't mind the calling out but there is way to do it better.

Kyrie has a ring. He's proven!!

How many rings does his teammates have or the guy he chewed out? Let me guess 0..

**Easy-Rider 66** · 01-16-20, 11:39 AM

C;mom JIBBY he was playing with best player in the world at the time. Now he's with a top 3 player in the world when Durant gets back. FUK that trophy.

Money shouldn't define a man’s goals because money can come and go. A man’s who builds character and transforms himself, influences people, communities, and nations. One might say well cant a person do that with money? Yes, but the point is if one does it it would mean he has good character. The argument here is about having bad character and lots of money. A man with a fortune and bad character won’t experience being loved for who they are but for what they have. This isn’t true love. True love is to be loved in return for who you are. One who marries for money, loves not the person, but what comes from the person. Since that is subject to change, so is the love. Also, having good character is good for the soul and healthier leading to true happiness.

Him and Lebron were the one two punch in winning that 2016 championship. Kyrie was LIGHTENING it up just as Lebron was on that team.. I remember, don't sell him short.. He's had injuries since but that dude was a major talent back in 2016.

KD isn't playing and not even traveling with the team this year.. His voice is silent right now.. Doesn't count Easy Rider.

**shadymcgrady** · 01-16-20, 11:44 AM

He's a loser, never had 30 wins with cle before LeBron.

That Boston team he was on recently was stacked with a great head coach and he couldn't do jacksht. Even the younger rising Stars like Tatum and jaylen couldn't stand him. That speaks volumes ab what a shthead leader he pretended to be but glaringly wasn't.

Now he's trying to ride Durant's coat tails and blaming anyone else besides himself and his massive contract for reverting back to his 20 win CLE days with Durant shelved.

Every team has performed better when he's not on the floor as a shot and clock cancer. From Boston and Brooklyn to CLE, the guy is a fukking loser and delusional. Actually thinks the world is flat

OK good take fair enough. But I would still rather be well off and low class/miserable than poor as dirt and the same.

OK see your point but not a Kyrie supporter after his meltdown in Boston. think he showed his true colors there. agree to disagree.

The grass aint always greener on the other side.

Being well off shouldnt only mean financially.

Being well off should also mean having health or a family or having clean water etc. When you look at the big picture man we here in west are better than 80% of world who starve and dont know if they will eat today. We blessed man

**dlowilly** · 01-16-20, 12:00 PM

What did he say? Link?

**IBetYou** · 01-16-20, 12:06 PM

What teammate?

**IBetYou** · 01-16-20, 12:28 PM

All I see is him saying they need one or two pieces. A LeBron James piece?

**jjgold** · 01-16-20, 12:50 PM

Kyrie: Nets' needs to reach next level 'glaring'

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28493556/kyrie-irving-says-team-needs-glaring-nets-fall-76ers

Kyrie Irving knew the Nets were lacking pieces needed to be successful when he joined the team, and after Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, he said "it's glaring" that there's work to be done in the offseason.

PHILADELPHIA -- Kyrie Irving said "it's glaring" that the Brooklyn Nets have more work to do for their roster to reach the level necessary for championship contention.
"I mean, it's transparent. It's out there. It's glaring, in terms of the pieces that we need in order to be at that next level," Irving said after finishing with 14 points on 6-for-21 shooting in Brooklyn's 117-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center.
"I'm going to continue to reiterate it. We're going to do the best with the guys that we have in our locker room now, and we'll worry about all the other stuff, in terms of moving pieces and everything else, as an organization down the line in the summer.
"It's just something that we signed up for. We knew what we were coming into at the beginning of this season. Guys were going down left and right for us. [Garrett Temple] is out, [DeAndre Jordan] just got hurt tonight, Wilson [Chandler] is just coming back. We have complementary young guys as well that have done a great job the last three years.
"Collectively, I feel like we have great pieces, but it's pretty glaring we need one more piece or two more pieces that will complement myself, [Kevin Durant], DJ, GT, Spence [Dinwiddie], Caris [LeVert], and we'll see how that evolves."

**champlain** · 01-16-20, 02:05 PM

Just because you hate the guy, don’t twist his words to fit your agenda. What’s wrong with saying the team need a few more good players. I guess it’s better to call a teammate a bitch or punch a teammate in the face(those guys are winners).

**JIBBBY** · 01-16-20, 02:17 PM

MJ use to come to blows with other teammates in the locker romm on those Bulls teams back in the day. Word has it Michael Jordan got in teammates faces and yelled at them and called them every name in the book if he felt they were tanking and slacking in games..

League got soft, coaches can't even chew out players anymore these days in fear of being fired. It's a joke.. So what if Kyrie called a teammate a JERK for not playing the game the right way..

**champlain** · 01-16-20, 02:38 PM

Pippen refuses to enter a playoff game with the game tied because the coach didn’t draw a play for
him to take a shot.

Stop listening to the media(especially Boston’s media) and Bill Simmons on who is a jerk or not or who is a good teammate. Say what you will about the guy, Kevin Durant followed him to Brooklyn and he made the biggest shot in cavaliers history so he is a good basketball player regardless of your hatred of him.

**Heltah Skeltah** · 01-16-20, 02:42 PM

Boston much better without him. Guy is selfish prick it seems.

Averaged 27 points in the finals and made the winning basket. But, whatever, you will hate on the guy no matter what he does
