Because you didn’t like kyrie the player seems to be influencing why you don’t like his opinion here. This seems to be why a lot of people aren’t respecting what he’s saying.
It's just as much because of his history of saying/believing/doing ridiculous things. He's such a phony. The flat-earther stuff is just a small part of it. His silly cryptic social media posts, spewing pseudointellectual nonsense, and being an all-around dick. This dude tries so hard to get people to believe he's a worldly, deep, intelligent dude and it's such a transparent schtick.
The story is so funny of Brad Stevens saying good morning to Kyrie at the team facilities and Kyrie responding with "what does the word 'government' mean to you?". Kyrie is like that 13-year-old who just discovered conspiracy theories channels on YouTube.
“When I was out for those seven weeks and not saying anything and still people are still saying things about me,” Irving said, via YES Network. “It’s inevitable. They crucified Martin Luther King for speaking about peace and social integration.“
Um, what? Quite the leap there to make that connection, Kyrie!
At the completion of the regular season, the team set up 100 balls in a room for their charitable partners. Everyone signed the balls except Irving. When pressed to do it, say team sources, he was neither aggressive nor confrontational. He merely said, "No, I'm not interested in that."
Solid way to behave.
Again, fluffing up his own intelligence...
"I've been playing basketball a lot longer than some of these people analyzing the game," Irving says. "I'm an actual genius when it comes to this game.
Plus he loves throwing his teammates under the bus and being a pouty, spoiled millionaire athlete.
And now he's out here saying the NBA looking to resume the season is "fishy". Those are some major implications against the league, the same league that happens to be by far the most supportive and progressive league in the country when it comes to social justice and reform.
