Steph Curry said he asked Kyrie Irving if he was cool with him wearing his shoes since he hasn’t worn them himself on the court:
“It’s nothing but mutual respect and admiration for what he’s done in his career.”
Just two dudes who know the moon landings were faked 🤝
Just two bros with their third eyes open
Don’t he and JJ believe the Earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs didn’t exist?
Christianity is a hell of a drug
Christianity doesn’t make those claims btw
Certain brands of Christianity absolutely do. Though I thought it was 5,000.
“Young Earth” Christianity can be anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 depending on your interpretation of select portions of the Old Testament.
yeah, so christianity doesn’t.
it’s like saying clothes have hoods. only some types of clothes have hoods, many do not.
That’s a weird and rigid expectation.
You’re basically saying we can’t broadly characterize anything.
I’m positive that you do the thing you’re arguing against.
“Satan planted dinosaur bones to deceive people’
I’m grateful Kyrie never played for GSW. Can you imagine how ramped up his alternative viewpoint would be if he was exposed to sidewalk chatter in Haight-Ashbury or the Mission on the regular? Yeeeesh.
I just realized Kyrie probably gets his beanies custom-fitted with a tin foil lining…
they literally sell them
I’ve been waiting for him to go down the JFK assassination rabbit hole ever since he moved to Dallas.
Like he would ever pick one of the only reasonable ones
every conspiracy enthusiast thinks theirs is the exception
Or finding out that Jerry and Bob were both members of Bohemian Grove?
What goes on in Haight and the Mission
As opposed to the Williamsburg/Bushwick privileged liberal bubble?
Yeah. I’ve lived in both cities. Nothing tops the casually dropped insane shit I heard in SF. Out of touch is its own version of an alternative reality but man…there is really a free marketplace of ideas in the bay.
That’s true, I’m a software engineer and I hated literally everybody in my college computer science department because they were all either amoral money/status seeking losers or autistic narcissists who all believe they know what’s best for society. And who have never lived through real struggle lol. I went to school in SoCal, and all these fucks moved up to the Bay. White Tesla Patagonia vest boring vanilla ass NPCs
and all these fucks moved up to the Bay
Dude, fucking tell me about it.
Unfortunately the kids that were already from the Bay Area were also exactly like this lmao
UCB kids really had this going for them. Back in the day Oakland and parts of SF and South Bay were pretty chill though. I don’t know about now.
Curry really come out and say some dumb shit like that?
Yes and then he tried to backtrack and say it was just a joke and pulled the “I am not a role model”.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25518468/stephen-curry-golden-state-warriors-says-joking-moon-landing-accept-nasa-invitation
If we dont even know how to make homeless shelters how could we land on the moon
damn, somehow lebron’s goat case got better
well, it couldn’t get any worse
🤦♂️
Seems rather innocuous to me?
Maybe because America has shifted so far into objective reality not mattering anymore
I just mean the seriousness of the comments is nowhere on the level of the ones Kyrie made.
no, Steph said something he shouldn’t have and now he must be burned at the stake for it. No forgiveness online ever for any reason
I’ll forgive him that but not for being a NIMBY
Once again, the Overton Window has shifted because nuts like Kyrie have been normalized, even celebrated by America
I wish people would just say what they mean the first time, instead of saying something different.
They were giggling like school girls before he said it too. People really read too much into it. But it was also the height of NBA player pseudo-intellectualism with Kyrie and Brown making some weird comments.
People are also tired of anti-intellectualism being used as a joke because it’s a real problem with real consequences.
On top of that, Curry also accepted an invitation from NASA to learn about the moon landing and attended lol.
he did a live stream w/ astronaut scott kelly and addressed it
Yup it was overall a positive experience. He also did a moonwalk collab where all proceeds went to some sort of STEM ourtreach.
That was a rough read. Damn.
Is it possible he was… actually joking?
It’s a joke!
who fucking cares.
Well, he was right and then they made him do some ceremonious backtracking with some NASA goons.
Another example of if you get downvoted to shit on reddit, you know you’re doing something right
The biggest problem with the United States are people like kyrie who are anti science.
No, our biggest problem is our politicians with these views.
You are the ones who vote them into office lol.
Subject-verb agreement are hard
Psh, these guys actually believe the moon is real??
They’re probably round earthers too
This sub flames kyrie for the stupid things he’s said which are justified bc he has promoted problematic rhetoric but we should recognize he’s one of the only NBA stars that’s being vocal about Palestine.
You don’t have to hand it to antisemites just because their antisemitism leads them to also supporting Palestine. In fact, those types of people actively hurt the movement. This is the same as the people acting shocked that famous Jew-Hater MTG hates Israel.
For me, it’s one of those things where I am so dubious about the usual discourse from a person/group that even when we start to agree about something, I can’t help but shake the feeling that they’re only arriving at the same stance I hold for some batshit crazy person reason. I’m afraid to ask em why they feel that way 😂
Like, goddamn do A Lot Of Internet Nerds fuckin HATE women. Hate seeing them in movies, hate when they have opinions, hate when they dress this way or that, hate when they enjoy the same things the nerds do, hate when they DON’T enjoy the same things, etc, lol. New game has a female MC or even just lets you pick a dude or a girl and it’s an immediate guarantee there’s gonna be 80 ragebait YouTube douchebags screaming about how woke killed REAL GAMERZ or whatever, ugh. So when I kinda felt like The Last Jedi was a crappy Star Wars movie (great really thoughtful scifi in general and I would have loved to see an unrelated movie from Rian with the same concepts, but it just felt too bleak and antiheroic to fit in with the goofy dumb fun scifantasy of SW), but then saw everyone on reddit Twitter etc screaming about it, I was like oh no, I must never speak of this again or people gonna think I’m some kinda incel hate warrior 💀
So, when you get a dude who’s been very public about feeling like Jewish people are evil liars who stole the idea of a Jewish identity from the horrifying hate cult the dude is a part of, and has just been crazy anti Semitic over and over again, being like “FREE PALESTINE,” I’m just like…dude, absolutely yes! What Israel is doing is hella fucked, but I just wanna double check real quick: would you say that you’re in favor of, say, death camps for every Jewish person within 500mi of Palestine to help them get their independence, or do you ACTUALLY just wanna help the poor people getting murdered by an evil military?
I want people to speak up for Palestinians and deeply wish a league that’s touted social justice as one of their major values would support that. I just don’t want to find out a bunch of them have got a copy of Mein Kampf on their bedside table for light reading every night later, ya know?
(something something broken clocks)
Man that CLE vs GSW rivalry back in mid 2010s seems so distant. I forgot those two guys were lighting it up during the Finals.
It’s been a decade lol
Shut up man. I get it I’m old
My bones have turned to dust
My knee cracked last night
In PU basketball yesterday I hit a nice layup on someone and his friend said “you’re not going to let an elderly man do that to you”
Its like…. fuck
I remember watching JR Smith’s fuck up, live, at a bar and freaking out about it lmao.
I cant believe that was a decade ago….
…oh no
fuck everything fr
Well, more like 8.5 years since the last time him and Kyrie faced off in the Finals but yeah.
Nobody likes a pedant.
Yea besides it’s been 8.616 years anyways.
Only three decimal places? So… we’re basically guessing now?”
Did you remember to include the extra day from leap years in that calculation? We don’t want to look like a bunch of fools over here if an audit happens
Yes! I divided by 365.25 like a proper math major.
My god.
Your answer is to the third digit though, shouldn’t you be accounting for the fact that every 100 years (so long as it is not divisible by 400) we skip a leap year? Meaning the true figure should be 365.242. If we use your math and Steph plays another 92 years we’re gonna look real fuckin stupid in here.
Seems so distant? Thats just 4 years ago tops for me. 😁
2015 I was 4 years removed from college. That was only 5 years ago
How do you forget that lmao
Seriously that was peak NBA
May be for Cavs and Warriors fan but it sucked for the rest of the league. We all knew how the season was going to end
Yeah. We knew LeBronto was waiting
I still think before KD those were awesome years. Two teams that had been irreevant for so long turned into powerhouses and were wreaking havoc on the league with a brand of basketball that was relatively unique.
maybe in the east but before KD joined GSW the west was still competitive. Spurs and Thunder looked just as finals-bound as the warriors. The west playoffs was super fun
I kinda blocked the last decade from the memory because I am a Suns fan /s
Kyrie lit it up. Curry was ok lol
It’s funny, for all the “THAT one made you the GOAT” narrative, it was Kyrie going off that saved Cleveland in those days. Bron was his usual All-Time self, it just wasn’t going to be enough - then Kyrie went nuclear.
Only player to ever lead every statistical category in a playoff series of any length. If thats Lebron at his “usual all-time self”, how is he not the best ever with these ridiculous expectations
I’m not getting into that debate… I’m referring to a direct quote from LeBron in reference to that series comeback - playing it back (in relation to the topic of this thread), that backcourt battle between Kyrie and Steph is where the entire series shifted.
If Cleveland had lost that, it would be impossible to lay any “blame” on Bron - he literally did everything he could that series.
Best ever - I’m not getting into that. Been around too long and have seen too many players/changes in the game to waste my time there.
Kyrie going off definitely tipped the series. That’s why the Cavs would have won in 2015 if he didnt break his knee
because stat padding doesn’t make you the best ever….besides, with all his stat padding he still comes up short when directly compared to MJ in everything that doesn’t involve counting career totals, because those things never won a team a damn thing (especially when they are share among several teams). Having the best player night in and night out is what wins teams championships and MJ leads him in those numbers pretty emphatically.
Ummm.. LOL
He continues;
“The battles that we’ve had, the deeper you get into it, you appreciate the fact that his talent kind of raised your level throughout the journey. We don’t get to spend that much time together, but there’s that mutual respect. At the All-Star Game, had an amazing conversation. I hit him up before tonight to make sure he was cool with me wearing his shoes, because I know he hasn’t had a chance to debut them himself on the court. He said the admiration goes both ways. I appreciate greatness, and it’s kind of been fun throughout this process to shine a light on competitors, rivals, friends, guys that mean a lot to you.”
Does Kyrie even get money from Nike anymore?
Curry was wearing the ANTA Kai 3s, not one of his old Nike ones
Deep for wearing some shoes lmao, imagine if you had to write a dissertation to wear Jordans
Do you all just not have complex thoughts or think about random shit lol
some people live unexamined lives
damn that is a hell of a line
im paraphrasing socrates
socrates real for that
🤣 Earning that top 1% with quality comments🙏🏽
Edit: i saw a reply about me being salty or a lakers vs celtics thing 😹 nah 🤣 that shit is funny af. Imma use that next time socrates is brought up fr. No sarcasm in my original comment 👏🏽 👏🏽 most top 1% commenters are quantity over quality.
That’s why I erased it. Read it again and thought “Shit, this dude was probably serious.”
Fasho lol 🙏🏽
Yeah pretty much said that dude shouldn’t be alive
My good French Broski, that’s America in a nutshell. It’s never been cool to be smart here.
If you’re gonna write paragraphs regarding the importance of wearing an athletes shoes more power to you
Steph is a well articulated person who has been competing with Kyrie for over a decade. Talking about the shoes, the competition and the respect is just him reminiscing. Do you think people write a dissertation when they reminisce ?
Idk bro I’m drunk, just think it’s extra for a guy wearing shoes.
If you want a dissataion on shoe contracts I’m not the guy, just a random posting on reddit
I should have figured you are drunk. My bad.
It’s ok, I forgive you.
People take reddit seriously, it’s chill
Why are you drunk at 8-9 am
Um… do you know what a transcript is? Steph didn’t write paragraphs. He was talking. See the video above? Talking.
He said, while replying to multiple comments about the importance of wearing an athletes shoes.
This is simplifying the matter so much. I’m tempted to say rude things about you but I’ll abstain.
Imagine you knew the guy who designed the shoe, and he had never worn it before on a court? Totally respectful for Curry to reach out to Kyrie first. These guys have a history of being competitors, too. God forbid he talks a little about that.
I just know Language Arts beat yo ass.
Jordan wore penny shoes when they faced each other
I wear Jordans playing div 1, give me money pls (please Jordan I’m begging)
lol
Curry: “From one guy who denies the moon landing to another”
Chad Moon Denier vs the Virgin Affordable Housing Objector
Sheep don’t get their own sneaker lines
Lone wolves like us get our info from YouTube videos and Facebook conspiracy pages 😤
And by the way don’t even try to get me wearing a sneaker unless it’s being peddled by another dude I like and try to emulate!!!
Yeah, multi billion dollar corporations only hand out contracts to true comrades
Damn, today is the first day I’ve thought that Steph looks older, time is flying yall
Steph’s gotta be dying his hair right? (Or at least his beard)
i mean they probably do dye it but grey hairs can be different for everyone, some people don’t have it happen til like 40+
lebron started having obvious grey in his beard at like 35
they have stylists and shit so they probably just pluck out individual ones but you can’t pluck them all forever lol
This was just a random ass thought I had because I’m 5 years younger than Steph and already graying
rather be greying than thinning
I’m in my early 30s and just found a few strands after reading this thread. 🥲
I started having gray (and blond and red, strangely) in my beard at like 21. Chin was pretty gray by 30. Now it’s mostly all gray (older than LeBron).
I didn’t get any gray hair on my head until 40+, though.
I know Draymond did because he absolutely had grey in it and then the clip the other day it looked completely black
dell’s hair seemed to have a good gray patch on his hairline when he was playing at 38, so steph is at the same. However curry is probably meditating for 20% of his waking hours, so i bet he’s missed out on the stress-related gray hairs
Toddler face assassin
And some people hate this man. SMH
They don’t hate the player they hate his game (losing to him)
I didn’t hate either until KD joined the Warriors. I was a certified all-around hater for those 3 seasons ngl.
Only hate I ever had for him was letting KD sit in his chair. Made the NBA boring after hitting such a peak in 2016
How can you not hate someone who throws up a 50ft shot randomly and it goes in. He is so good its hard not to hate him if you’re playing him.
it’s pretty easy when you remember he thinks the moon landing was faked
That pink coat is pimpin’
I swear my gran had that jacket growing up
Steph is a good dude
I still hate that Kyrie broke his leg in that first finals match up between them
Irving and Curry, one and one…
Two ethical hoopers, a dying, no, an almost dead breed.
Side note, I fuckin love wearing Kyries
These guys are both such well spoken leaders.
Look at… ah nvm
I just rewatched Game 5 of the 2017 Finals last night with my uncle. It made me miss those CLE vs GSW battles. Aside from last years Finals I don’t think any have been as entertaining since then.
You got the 150 to pay for em? Cool enjoy
Imagine Steph Curry asking YOU if it’s cool that he wears YOUR shoes in a game.
A real travesty that Kevin Durant ruined what would have been an all time back and forth between Golden State and Cleveland.
The stuff these multi millionaires concern themselves with is really something of another reality.
Why is he wearing everyone shoes is it because his shoe deal is limbo just curious
Fuck Qyrie
i want some reporter to ask Kyrie if he still thinks the earth is flat. no one has asked that question in a really long time.

Deni Avdija is one of my favorite players.
I’m sorry to hear that. Condolences
He is a great player. I love his energy. He is so much fun to watch. I love that he got off that garbage franchise in DC and he is blossoming into an All-NBA player and possible MVP. He is going to get a max contract.
25 points
8 assists
14 rebounds
last time Deni Avdija played the Raptors.

Last time we played
Im having trouble digesting this whole steph shoe tour hes going on right now. I totally get the sneaker head love he is showing but any real sneaker head would never have signed with under armour to start with and most definitely wouldnt have stayed as long as he did. Its refreshing to see a star athlete drop the pride and wear a bunch of competitiors shoes but this whole thing just feels off on a couple different levels. Im curious to see what he ends up doing for his shoe deal these last few years.
Any real sneaker head would take the biggest potential bag. Idk how much you love sneakers a few extra m’s will change your tune.
Im not confused about the money aspect of it lol. I totally get that. But nah sneaker culture is serious. Plenty of athletes refuse to work with certain companies due to their wackness. The legend of curry is more about feeling disrespected by nike, not even about the money.
