Drummond’s Found His Place

[tykurez]

Kyrie is an outstanding basketball player - probably one of the best guards to ever play the game. He’s also done some outstanding things for various communities. He’s also a flat-earther and that s!*^ is just weird.

I hope your right, I like the fit and it’s raising his profile a bit. Hopefully championship aspirations will keep him focused and in the best of shape. I think if anything being around KD who is always focused on basketball will rub off on him the right way more so than people assuming it’s kyrie he would follow. Nets are also a bigger development team than most so hopefully they can unlock some other parts of his game he hasn’t worked on in years.

Yes, I was thinking of KD when I made that comment. But, you don’t get to be as good as Kyrie at a sport without overwhelming elite size or speed without having something going on upstairs.
There’s the media image and then the real person. In Chief’s view many here miss the point. With the professional athletes I talk to it’s important that they keep their right to have an opinion on things.
You may think Kyrie and KD are wrong when they say if fans can be unvax, why can’t players? I would submit to you if you go beyond your echo chamber, it’s not an outrageous position. But at any rate, I think Voltaire said: “ I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to my death your right to say it”.
Why is that such a difficult principle for many to understand today? Especially when the person talking is an athlete.

How many of the people on here with a huge disdain for kyrie are Celtic fans?

What’s up with Bouknight? He’s been out with a “sore neck” for a few weeks now and missed games that he definitely would have played in.

He hasn’t appeared in the box score even as a DNP for a couple of weeks

Athletes like actors have a much larger bully pulpit than their position warrants.
