Props to Kyrie. If anyone mentions this great act to deflect any possible future criticisms of him, then that shows how disingenuous you are
Let's discuss what he said in detail..
He said Kyrie should retire because his mind isn't on playing basketball... which Kyrie is showing...
He talked about going to work and the amount of money because people are hurting out here and Kyrie wants his 35 million and still do whatever he wants and not show up to work...
He brought up Kobe because we all know Kobe would be playing basketball no matter what and how much Kobe loved the game and how Kyrie talks so glowingly about Kobe...
In addition ultimately he was saying Kobe had TONS of things going on off the court but showed up EVERY night on the court...
Kobe was falsely accused of rape and was literally going to court during the day and giving dudes 60 at night on the basketball court
There's nothing wrong with this stance by SAS
That's a luxury/blessing to be able to retire whenever you feel like it
Not too many people can justify not upholding your end of an agreement/contract
9to5ers like myself don't have that "retire whenever I feel like it" luxury, thus can't relate to a person not doing the job that afforded them such luxuries
