Kyrie wanted to be the man, right?

[Remote]

The question remains, why does that make you feel the need to shyt on Kyrie? I can understand if he had nothing to with LeBron in the past, or if he was ungrateful for his time playing next to him. But he was the biggest factor in helping LeBron win a title in Cleveland, you don't think there should be a level of respect from y'all because of that?

It just seems like y'all will do anything to uphold LeBron's image, even at the price of others who stand/stood beside him.

Why do you phrase it that way, rather than Lebron being the biggest factor in helping Kyrie win a title in Cleveland?

Because it's not like Kyrie went to join Lebron.

I wonder if you're gonna accuse me of being a Lebron stan...
But I would like an answer to the question

But folk are making threads/post based on what Kyrie's intentions and the result of them, not what his "stans" say. Kyrie doesn't even have stans like that on this board.

I'm not, you just clearly are turning a blind eye to it, and shuffling the cards as if it were some casual racist nonsense. The point is this, Kyrie wanting off the team created one of the biggest offseason stories, which in turn created this movement of dudes turning on him (or others being more vocal), due to LeBron being one of the most championed players on this board.

Other players will NOT be slandered to the same degree, because they're not at the forefront of most of the discussions like Kyrie is. Dudes already have the pitchforks out with Kyrie's team going 0-2, and you're in here saying "there won't be much Kyrie slander if the Celtics don't go anywhere.". If this is what it's like only two games, what the hell is it going to be like if the Celtics don't make the playoffs?

It seems like you're being disingenuous on purpose, and it's pretty clear as to why.

They're "mad" at his intentions for leaving, because it paints LeBron in a bad light. Hence why they're making these dumbass threads/posts.

I think the bigger motivation behind slamming Kyrie now would be to kick aside the idea that Kyrie carried the team. While he was a very nice ancillary piece for them, he's replaceable. Even if they were garbage troll posts, there were a lot of them.

Like I said before, if LeBron had missed the game tying basket, you would have had a lot to say about that, and there would be a lot more than the couple threads that have been aimed at Kyrie. The entire front page would have been littered with LeBron memes.

When I said Kyrie isn't going to get much slander, I'm not talking about the personal beefs and Stan wars. shyt Dion Waiters was getting multiple hate threads because of one poster's stanning but you wouldn't see the Ernie Johnsons of the world asking why Dion fukking Waiters of the world weren't getting their teams into June. They won't do it with Kyrie either because real basketball heads wouldn't expect a Kyrie led team to beat the other superpowers.

The LeBron stan in you immediately took issue with that, without even reading what I posted properly. Why am I not surprised. Read what I said carefully -

But he was the biggest factor in helping LeBron win a title in Cleveland - keywords "helping LeBron", meaning LeBron is the centerpiece to it all and Kyrie was the player who provided the most help. Is that clear enough for you? I never said Kyrie was the biggest factor in helping the Cavs win a title (I wouldn't dare say that, I'd be strung up from all y'all LeBron stans for suggesting Kyrie was the main reason the Cavs won the title), just that he was the biggest factor in helping LeBron.

I don't need to accuse you, you know you are.

A) I'm not a Lebron stan.
2) You got way too fukkin defensive, breh.
and D) Thank you for clarifying that Lebron was the centerpiece.

With all your caping for Kyrie one might think you were suggesting the Cavaliers lost because of Lebron.
Surely you're not saying that. But it just seems like you could be.

:yousure:

95% of the discussions on this board are based on personal beefs and stan wars. You might as well say LeBron won't receive much slander as well, or any other player for that matter, if we're talking about that 5% percent.

If you want to the Kyrie hate until the end of time just to disprove my statement, that's your choice. But as someone who has a strong need to repeatedly declare victory and rub peoples faces in stuff when conditions are favorable, you can't be surprised that people are doing the same and attacking you through Kyrie.

As I've said several times now, if Kyrie and LeBron switched places, the stories on TV, radio, message boards, etc would be a LOT different right now. Since LeBron had a big game and Kyrie missed the tying shot and then had a forgettable game 2, it hasnt been a provocative story.

For the last time - this is not about attacking me, again, I encourage you to actually read what's being said about him. It's got nothing to do with what I said. Hell, this shyt started the moment he wanted to be traded (and was traded), and I wasn't even actively posting, at all.

You still don't get it. Or perhaps, you don't want to get it for obvious reasons.

Exactly nikka thought Kyrie was the best thing since sliced bread,now it's the system in Boston fault that he's struggling,when a Midget averaged 30 a night and made it to the ECF in that SAME system last year

Wall >>>> Kyrie by many miles

Thank you.

It's not even close

It's amazing how dudes spend all this time watching basketball, yet still don't understand what's happening.

 

[King Musa]

The shameless stannery in this thread.

I admit i may have over exaggerated but i do think wall is better

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

People hate kyrie because he left daddy lebron. How dare you leave your pippen role on a championship contending team to play the mj role on another championship contending team.

It's unfortunate what happened to gordon, but I still believe kyrie is gonna put up MVP type #s this season & lead the team to the playoffs.

The Kyrie stanning and the Kyrie vs LeBron shyt started long before the trade

And I'm not sure why you think its irrelevant that the people who like LeBron gloated a lot less than you and the other Kyrie stans would have in the same situation.
