Kyrie comments on where he’ll be in 20 years: “middle of nowhere no electricity”

[CelticsElite]

Kyrie on 20, 30 years in the future: “I don’t know if you guys will see me. I’ll probably be in 800 acres in Texas in the middle of nowhere. Off the grid in a self-sustaining community, just living with no power. Like this is fun and all, but technology is just killing me, man

I'm honestly not really surprised that this is his point of view. If I had been in the spotlight for almost all of my adult life, appearing on national television because you're good with a basketball, I think I would want to get away from it all. Maybe not to the extent Kyrie is talking, but I feel as if this is a genuine want.

Or he's taking his obscure trolling to Andy Kaufman levels, which I wouldn't mind at all

As long as he stays with us for a decade, wins a couple of rings and gets his # retired, I don't mind at all what he does.
If anything, it would be refreshing to see a retired NBA player not cling to the spotlight

I like the way Kyrie thinks.

I'm definitely hoping to be completely off the grid and self-sustaining within 5-10 years.

This isn't that out there anymore, a lot of people are moving toward off the grid living. If not totally without electricity, they are using it less and less. I think it's a good thing. Besides, he didn't say he was going into seclusion, he said in a community.

Sweet! Though I'm guessing he wouldn't last too long without Twitter and attention.  He's been discussed as the "biggest diva in the NBA" unfortunately.

All this technology is preventing us from living real lives, so he's not wrong...

Here's my beef with Cowherd. He presents himself as this rational, nonpartisan commentator when all his segments are oozing bias. Even here, where he starts off with 'I'm an opinion guy, but these are purely facts' (or something to that effect), he completely neglects context, as per usual. It's no secret that Cowherd loves LeBron to a frightening degree, so none of his points are really surprising.

He introduces his 'facts' part of his argument by using a quote indicating Kyrie didn't want LBJ to return. This quote is hilarious, because Kyrie wanting to win without LBJ forming his second 'superteam' in Cleveland, as far as we can tell from that quote.

He brings up Kyrie's health, which is completely irrelevant to LeBron, and really anything.

He talks about his winning percentage, which is additionally completely irrelevant. A player can only do so much on a team that is tanking, and routinely making bad picks (see Thompson, Waiters and Bennett). Especially when, as Cowherd just touched upon, is injured - yet he doesn't mention that as part of the reasoning. Wonder why

Then there's the 'diva' thing. One only has to look at Cowherd's history on Kyrie to know that his criticisms are generally laughable. From videos titled 'Kyrie becoming a flake', 'Kyrie needed LeBron to succeed' (it was pretty mutual there), to ones like 'How much of a mistake did Kyrie make by leaving LeBron?' and 'Is Derrick Rose enough to get LeBron and the Cavs to the Finals if Kyrie Irving leaves?'.

He clearly dislikes the guy for not bowing and scraping to King LeBron, so excuse me if I ignore everything Cowherd really says on any matter regarding sports (or generally, anything). Guy is a moron
