He's getting beat on that end every.single.possession.Wait, wait, wait, wait Tarheels. Where was this kind of hate when IT was giving up 25-30 points per game last year due to being four foot freaking tall?!He didn't demand his way out of a contractual agreement betause he wasn't happy... and wanted an even cushier situation, an even shinier silver spoon..You've said this multiple times, but I simply have no idea what you're talking about. How is asking off of a team with the best player in the world and coming off of three consecutive Finals trip "an even cushier situation, an even shinier silver spoon"?That literally makes no sense to me. In fact, I applaud Kyrie. He wanted to lead his own team outside of the shadow of the best player of our generation - how exactly is that a bad thing? Didn't we just all rip Durant a new one for not having that type of mentality?Of course you do... he equates to wins and national attention. But the way he went about getting here is disgusting, and makes him bar none most entitled little basketball player on the planet. He hasn't earned anything on his own... NOR is he now, in basketball heavaen of the foreseeable future. If you can't see how incredibly privileged he is -- just try imagining 1 of any other 20 players success in his role -- then nothing I can say can persuade you to objectivity. Tarheels, love ya, buddy, but I don't think you should be questioning anyone's objectivity when it comes to evaluating Kyrie! lol You've been completely and unabashedly transparent about your feelings regarding Kyrie (and IT) ever since the trade. Didn't you even post the other night that you hope IT comes to Boston and takes it to us? lolBut I'll push back on your actual statement. Kyrie *literally* hit the biggest shot in NBA history to win the Cavs the Finals, so saying he hasn't earned anything on his own is.... strange. What exactly has IT done to even come close to that?

Were Knicks fans chanting "MVP" for Beasley just now?
