FOH stop caping for this c00n :camby:
Ive never heard a single political statement come out of James Harden’s mouth. Nothing outside of basketball. Why are you so upset? This is what he said himself about the scarf. I’m sure he’d rep for the police if he wanted to and those were his views.

Don’t be a typical angry coli user my brother. Have a bless one!

How old are some of y'all? There was a period in which a lot of foreign players were from War-tor countries, and having to deal with hearing about their families ducking from bombs and troops killin everything (Vlade, Kukoc, Stojakovic). Hell, I think Vlade still involved with helping people affected by the Yugoslav Wars.

Either sit out, or put your money over there...but to being unable to concentrate, I don't know. Unless he's one of those empaths that internalizes everything, and unable to focus on one thing at a time, in which I would suggest he needs to seek professional help. There's always gonna be something to distract him.

Welp, he just dumped a lot of BS on his team at the most inopportune moment.
Enes Kanter has the fukking Turkish government tryna to assassinate him and shyt. Now that's some shyt that's a distraction lol.

Now THAT'S some shyt. SHEEESH! And I didn't even know that happened.

Yeah breh, it’s not the best move for him to just travel abroad because Erdogan’s goons will most likely snatch him up. It’s not even a full blown guarantee that he’s safe here that’s why he need security.

This is bullsh!t. On it's face it looks like "oh Kyrie cares about social issues across the world". But please tell me why he cant talk about his PROFESSION for a few minutes? So he can't think about anything else because there is suffering in the world? There is ALWAYS suffering in the world. If this is the case you should have NEVER been able to focus in on basketball. It comes off like a person who films themselves giving money to the homeless. Some people look for props/admiration/praise for their materialistic possessions. Kyrie comes off as looking for that for being "socially aware". He's overdoing it. Comes off as fake.

I agree, he makes it too much about himself. I'm sure he's genuine in his compassion and empathy which isn't in question, but the way he's going about it should be different.
