I don't know why you keep trying to minimize this or conflate Kyrie's issues with other people. Kyrie's TEAMMATES have documented issues with him. Russ' teammates all rave about him. These dudes are not close to being the same based on the stories we hear about them. This isn't the case of just some "media entitlement".

which teammates? I bet those same TEAMMATES have idiosyncrasies....

Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart types???? Lol. They display the same qualities people describe Kyrie having :lol:
 
In a world where people are glued to their phones, at home, and in public. People being medicated for social anxiety or just social awkwardness. Heck, I didn’t even know about social anxiety or “awkwardness” until it become a millennial or modern day point of emphasis...........

But hey, let’s label Kyrie a weirdo. When damn near everyone out here is displaying weirdo ways. :lol: :lol:

can’t make this stuff up

Dudes really be placing these celebs on a pedestal like they're not regular human beings. Let someone analyze your interaction with all your coworkers for a year & i'm willing to bet good money... some people will have a couple interactions with you that they deemed unpleasant.
 
Kyrie is 1000000% bipolar. This is very obvious if you’ve dealt with somebody like that before.

Who has ever said anything about Brown or Smart being a bad teammate?

i’m not going to diagnose dude. I don’t know him. But him being a bad teammate? It’s been documented
 
Marcus Smart is organizing team get-togethers and recording pranks on rookies. He's the anti-Kyrie in that respect.

Hes the only player in 20 years to tell the photographers no pics Thats not even stand-offish that’s just strange
 
Marcus Smart... the guy who is a fan favorite and all of his teammates seemingly love. :lol:

Well considering Marcus Morris almost Choke slammed Young Kawhi during the huddle last year i would say it's fair to say he has issues with teammates, but that's a whole other story.

Just like Kyrie has had teammates he's clashed with, he has teamamtes & other players that love him. that is life, some people are more confrontational then others, some people clash in groups.

Deandre Jordan -
"What do you want me to say?" Jordan said. "Kyrie's a bad guy. He's terrible. He's moody. I don't like to be around him. He's horrible in the locker room. He's a selfish player. I don't like his haircut. I wear his shoes only because they're comfortable and because he makes me. Is that good?"

Dinwiddie -
praised Irving's leadership and communication, saying that he has been "an open source of knowledge." Kenny Atkinson directly denied that the organization was queasy about Irving falling into a funk.

Atkinson-
"That is completely false," Atkinson said. "Strictly speaking in my observation and my experience with him so far, it's absolutely not true. I'd say I'm the moody one. I really am. I hate to [say it]: I'm cranky, and I have my ups and downs. So if there's just natural human behavior where guys are up and down, that's different, but from my perspective I just give Kyrie an A-plus on his consistency and his spirit. It's been great."

Again we live in a world where people had their pre conceived notions and are gonna stick to that regardless, Kyrie surely hasn't been perfect but this narrative that he's this super draining diva that all his teammates hate is media ********.

Kyrie has filmed a HILARIOUS movie, his uncle drew characters was one of the best recent marketing schemes. He’s held basketball camps, heck, he signed with the NETS..... FROM HIS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL :lol :lol

Kyrie’s a weirdo for not pulling pranks??? :lol

Marcus Smart WAS/IS a headcase in college, and the NBA. Didn’t he break his wrist in the team hotel room or some s****?
I won’t even mention his notorious flopping.

You want Kyrie to pull pranks, to prove that he’s normal? Man please
 
I'm sure you can find all those same quotes from the Boston guys when the season started last year

How is media BS if it’s been happened ? The waiters fight happened. The lebron dispute happened. The Celtics happened.

And let’s be real man no teammate/coach of 2 weeks is going to say anything negative about anyone. Especially publicly. Especially when his ace boon is on IR. That’s how you get fired/traded.

But hey man maybe he’s turned a new leaf

Kyries an AWFUL teammate and a weirdo....

but somehow managed to coerce one of the best players ever (KD) to join forces.

The Celtics even ran Al HORFORD, one of the most likeable and stoic players, away from their franchise.
 
I don’t think the Kyrie stuff is that funny anymore. Something might really be going on with him - more than being weird. He’s getting to Ben Gordon level strangeness and Ben just acknowledged he wasn’t right for a long time.

Bro Ben gordon was making IG vids and posts of him saying he wanted to off himself.. I don't think Kyrie is to that level of extreme yet.

Nah. It’s just disrespectful how some people label people as weird or say they have mental issues, just because they don’t subscribe to certain standards that others have. That’s crazy
