Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2743740, member: 488"] I mean, I'm cool with KD's move because I like KD and I like the Warriors. I have acknowledged that if my rooting interests were different, I would probably hate KD for doing it. My animosity towards Kyrie started when he went to Duke, to be clear, and I'm not trying to depict him as a bad person or anything like that. But asking out of Cleveland, one year removed from a championship, when the best player in the world hand picked you as the centerpiece of his coming home tour, is the height of arrogance, not to mention the fact that unlike LeBron and unlike KD, he was under contract for another two years. I understand that playing with LeBron is no picnic. He isn't a saint. His body language is often poor, he complains a lot of about the officiating, sometimes to the detriment of his team, and he isn't afraid to show teammates up on the court. And that's just what we see. In the film room and on the practice court, you have to believe he comes off as arrogant, bossy, stubborn, and ungrateful. I can see how an intelligent kid like Kyrie who had already accomplished so much would have felt he'd graduated from b____ duty. But everyone else LeBron's ever played with sucked it up. And those guys were his peers. Kyrie is seven years younger than LeBron, never accomplished a damn thing before LeBron got there, and actually had far more freedom on the court than other guys, like Love or Bosh, who made bigger sacrifices. I thought he should have put his ego to the side and embraced the challenge. At the very least, I don't think he should have blindsided him like he did. [/QUOTE]
