    Which kinda goes back to when you said this Pack:

    While ignoring the fact that people tend to speak out on issues that affect their community/group.
    I get if you’re a vocal person you open yourself up to some criticism for only picking certain issues. But it’s not really right to just expect every person to have an opinion on every subject. Especially when you want them to give that take with a mic in their face caught off-guard because you’re supposed to be asking them questions about basketball. And even with all the noise, backlash, and all that after the fact I highly doubt many, if any, of these dudes have even watched the movie or read the book.

    Plus there is only so much of “this is what’s in the movie, It’s bad, now what do you think about Kyrie sharing it” that can be answered when you have no idea what specifically is in the movie because you didn’t watch and what Kyrie took away from it because you can’t answer that for him.

      Yall do know that kyrie is the vice president of the NBPA right?

      So he kinda represents the players.

      So it makes sense to ask the players about it.

      Especially those that use to sang his praise…

                That feels insane. An apology is enough. This **** has been built up so much by the media. They're doing more damage by keeping this going and potentially exposing more and more people to these theories that they say are dangerous. Kyrie is not Ye.

                  Kyrie will find a way to create another situation to put himself in the headlines again.

                      Is it normal for teams to have lists like this to complete when a player does something and we just never hear about them or is this literally a first?

                        I remember the Cowboys did something similar with Dez Bryant. The only reason I remember it though is because at the time it happened there was a popular sitcom called something like 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Daughter so the joke everyone was using was 8 Simple Rules for Being My Wide Receiver

                        A good joke stays with you forever

                          Probably in private. Never in public like this.

                            I enjoyed it. I remember the time well, because I was in middle school-early high school when it was blowing up. Sad how it ended for some of those guys. I think I saw The Professor on a cameo appearance on NBA 2K a few weeks back. Yeah, I loved watching that one and learning more about why it fell off.

                              How normal is it for players in the NBA to be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team? I don't feel like that's all that common to begin with, much less a publicized list of things the player must do to be considered not detrimental to the team anymore.

                              I don't really think the team is asking for much tbh.

                                I liked it a litter better than the ESPN one even though they weren’t much different.

                                It just feels weird to publicize it but ehh.
