The way he’s treated teammates in Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn. Him disrespecting the Boston logo, his statements about LeBron. Kyrie’s behavior played a role.

    Kyrie Irving has a much more moral, honest and factual political stance than these guys. Especially when it comes to Palestine and not Jewish but radical Zionist influence (a movement that weaponizes the Jewish religion for American and European colonization of the middle east and access to control that region). These guys who criticized him and collectively almost killed Kyrie’s career for something he did not personally say leaving lots of gray area shows how immoral, dishonest, and dangerous the Zionist influence of control in politics and entertainment industries are. These guys don’t have the integrity and honesty to even mention the details of what they are referring to.

    2. Goes to Bos & would've had the best record in East & made the Finals beating CLE if Kai didn't have to have surgery.
    3. Thi gs got funny in Bos 2nd yr, ppl act like they didn't need Kyrie, similar to how Tatum is being treated now, so he left.
    4. Go to BKN & if not for Giannis Zazaing Kai, Bkn wins chip & all the Big 3 was a failure talk won't exist
    5. NY mayor, Nets owner, & NBA commissioner conspired to keep Kai off the court due to vaccine but allowed visiting players to play. Mandate was lifted b4 baseball season started because many Yanks/Mets players weren't vaccinated
    6. Post a video link to a movie & all the fake religious ppl act like he killed their family member. NBA & media tried to embarass him for no reason.
    7. Goes to DAL 1st year, all you hear is negative from media but not a peep from Dallas mgnt or team the entire time.
    8. DAL bout to make NBA Finals & now all the fake apologies, respect, & love is coming out.
    9. HE HASN'T FORGOT EVERYTHING YALL SAID - KEEP THE SAME ENERGY 🤡🤡🤡
    10. God will show you all your adversaries in plain sight & send you back to get revenge later.
