Kyrie Irving elected VP of players association

[CelticsPoetry]

Kyrie is the epitome of somebody who sounds Intelligent until you actually listen to the words coming out of his mouth.  The NBA is probably ecstatic about Kyrie becoming VP of the player's association, especially when it comes to future negotiating.  The player's association should have asked, "who would the NBA owners fear in an upcoming negotiation?" and vote for that person.  I.e. Lebron, even Chris Paul did a good job in the past.

Exactly. Kyrie is the Kanye West of the NBA - immensely gifted, but thinks he’s elevated above others and goes on incoherent rants which only he and others of a low IQ perceive as intelligent.

I never understood this notion about Kanye being an immensely gifted music genius. He is not. And the same goes for Kyrie. Is he really that good? He can handle the ball well, I give him that, but I just dont see him as some bball genius. He does not impact winning, one could argue his style of play is not high IQ and he's one of the most mercurial players ever. Which team has he changed for the better?

I must react.
He does impact winning, but it is felt more often on the opposite team.

I actually thought those words will be used against me in such a way. TP for the chuckle 😁

Kanye is pretty universally seen as the most influential figure in hip hop post-2000. Kyrie isn't quite on that level

Ok sure, but I really don't see it, especially after listening to his music. On the other hand I do have really high standards regarding music and I really dislike hip hop, so there's that.

For sure, and music is much more subjective than basketball. Kyrie has all the talent, just not the right mind.

  After all the Kobe over the top stuff I’m not one bit surprised.
