I can see where Kyrie's coming from with that.
Sometimes we have these life altering moments. They happen.
Sucks for us, but it's a business.
He didn't quit basketball. He's still playing in the NBA, just with his buddy Durant and Harden.
This idea that Kyrie realized "life is more important than basketball" yet his life changing decision was to go continue to play basketball and form a superteam in Brooklyn and quit on his team doesn't add up.
Had Kyrie retired, then okay I could see this argument. But it seems to be a carefully crafted "narrative" by Kyries camp to absolve him of any criticism of his actions.
But just doesn't add up. He's doing nothing different in Brooklyn than he did in Boston.
He does it all the time anytime there is criticism.
