Reporter asks Kyrie if LeBron is a father figure

[IGSaint12]

Im not even counting Windhorst because he's national now.

Or Rick Noland. They've got Japanese reporters. Reporters from Israel because of Blatt.

This team gets an inordinate amount of coverage because of LeBron and internationally because of Blatt.

Japan follows the NBA like that?

Japan follows the NBA like that?

Yeah they usually show up during the bigger games. But they ask a gang of silly questions as well.

Lol it makes sense with Japan. Slam Dunk is the goat basketball manga. It's just sad though that Japan hasn't produced any serious basketball prospects. He would be a god over there.

I love how Kyrie stopped looking in her direction and dismissed her as nothing while answering the question in a great way.

Y'all have 7 beat writers?

What else they got to talk about?

 

[mbewane]

Yeah she died from cancer when he was like 3, I remember reading an article a few years ago in ESPN Magazine and he was talking about how he doesn't really remember her

Damn

 

[Roid Jones]

And cacs wonder why brother Lynch does not want to answer questions

The total disrespect to talk about LeBron like he is

 

[Dayco23]

Never mind. I found the quote.



As expected. Cac media takes the quote out of context and runs with the "black people need father figures" narrative

He was using the word "father" as a metaphor.

Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal.

She's not really a sports reporter...she was covering for one of the best beat reporters the Cavs have (Jason Lloyd).

She's an idiot.

Cavs in general have pretty horrible beat writers (Joe Vardon, Chris Haynes, Chris Fedor, Bob Finnan)

A good one (Dave McMenamin)

And two great ones (Chris Parker and Jason Lloyd)

Chris Parker's articles are the shyt

I'm a believer and lover of the Beautiful Game, there's nothing wrong with being number 2 to the real football

On a side note.

Anybody notice that Kyrie hit the when she asked him that dumb ass shyt?

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Has this dumb broad been identified yet?

 

[Ronnie Lott]

That gif

 

[Klyk21]

Kyrie is not slow to them dumb ass questions. He handled that correctly. I WISH they would've asked WestGawd that question, it would've been epic.

westbrook? lol

 

[aceboon]

So when are we going to find out who was the reporter that asked that question?

I swear she being protected like she damn near police, I even saw Bomani breaking media code on twitter and asking who was it and some dude from an Akron paper said he would hit him up by DM(direct message). Say this bytch name!
