Kyrie Irving on Instagram: “All for one. One for All WE completed the mission together as brothers, and that’s all that matters to me.”
Bro really got bullied into celebrating his only championship
LeBron: come on son it’s time for the 10 year anniversary trip to the south of France with the guys
Kyrie: NO YOU CANT MAKE ME
To be fair they only got 6 ppl in Scotland and only 3 of them continued golf the last few days. Three stayed in the bed because they already hurt their backs!!!
Wym, they had 8 people there. Everyone who played rotation minutes in the ‘16 playoffs was there, except Kyrie.
Mo Williams isn’t there and he played in game 7 unlike Frye who is there.
WTF Mo Williams was on the 2016 team?!?!
Uhhh Mo Williams got a big dick so
Give Mo Williams credit for making a bucket in the 2nd quarter of game 7 but those were the only meaningful points he scored all playoffs and he wasn’t a part of the rotation. He played about 5 minutes in game 7 and about 3 non-garbage time minutes in game 6, and those were basically the only non-garbage time minutes he played in those playoffs.
Meanwhile, Frye was a normal part of the rotation. He averaged a little under 16 mpg across the first three rounds, and even in the finals where he only appeared in 4 games, he still played more minutes than Mo Williams.
I wonder what Mozgov is up to these days
Spending Dr. Buss’s money.
Mozgov probably spends it better than any of Buss’s children
Def better than Jeannie
Summer 16 was a great summer for most people, some would say it was the last great summer
For Lakers fans, there’s a horror that persists
Great for most?
Harambe died that summer. Elections that had consequences that will affect us for the rest of our lives (which led to worldwide turmoil), Brexit in Europe, Pulse Night Club shooting, Flint water crisis was brought to light. Brussels bombing attacks.
Sorry if that’s a little dramatic
Harambee dying was a meme on Reddit, no one in actual reality had their summer ruined by that
Hilary was will expected to win the election in the summer and optimism was everywhere
The brexit vote came in 16, not the actually leaving it the EU when the effects were felt
You’re being entirely dramatic, you can go down each season of every year for the last 25 years and there will be a handful of world events, that doesn’t mean that people didn’t enjoy the time
I mean he got 93 pts. He deserves it
Mozgov splits his time between Los Angeles and his native Russia. Turning 40 next month, Mozgov still plays in occasional pick-up basketball games near his Manhattan Beach, California home.

Kyrie: I’m going to Boston
Only Kyrie of all people could turn this into something weird.
Isn’t social media making it weird by questioning why Kyrie didn’t go to the reunion to the point that he felt he had to make this post?
Him not going to their reunion wasn’t an indication of anything
JR said he didn’t reply when they asked him to go, so if he didn’t talk to them this is weird IMO
Yeah not going is one thing. Ghosting the group chat which he did is another.
Maybe he doesn’t have the notis on lol
It’s also none of our business, and very likely there’s more to the story here that isn’t being shared becsuse it’s none of our business.
The fact that it’s JR talking shit says everything.
Exactly. You don’t get to call them your brothers if you don’t reply to a get together
Huh? Unless you know the guy personally and have spoken on the matter, you are doing the exact same thing as everybody else. Speculating
He is a weirdo, but what’s weird about this specific post?
He supposedly was invited on this trip and ghosted everyone just to then make this post.
He got bullied into making it
Jr smith kept throwing shots at him
I’m assuming JR took it more personally bc him & Shump were the only two that remained friends with Kyrie right after the trade and has also supported him over the years, so he was prob pissed to be bunched in with the rest of the guys Ky ghosted.
The anti vaxxer douche parroting fake hitler quotes isnt sane?!?!!
Damn, shocking
Thinking this is weird is way more weird
Waiting for you to enlighten us about the weird part here
I don’t think that this is weird. He just said that they won the ring and none of the social media drama matters. I wouldn’t read anything more into this
This is on brand for Kyrie he has always been this way
“If you take Kyrie Irving’s brain and put it in a bird right now, guess what that bird is going to do? It’s going to fly backwards.”
Perkins’ magnum opus
Honorable mention:
“Tobias Harris, let him walk. I mean, damn. He asked them if they wanted something from Chick-fil-A before the game, the team told him ‘yes,’ and he came back with a bag full of napkins and straws. I mean, he was just a no-show out there.”
A few others:
“Ben Simmons is that pretty girl that’s single and everybody’s wondering why she’s single. Because she smokes cigarettes…Newport Shorts at that.”
“Ja Morant has one foot in the grave, the other one on a banana peel when it comes down to his career”
ben simmons one is sending me
Is KP a good analyst? Not remotely. Is he sometimes very funny? Yes.
Honestly I genuinely enjoyed him as an analyst when he just did local stuff for the celts, then he went to ESPN leaned pretty hard into the whole engagement farming thing though and i find him mostly unbearable now.
He’s just a guy from the local barbershop that also happens to be an NBA player. Says a lot of dumb stuff but some of it is very funny. Some of these analogies are pretty good though lol
He was the only guy on ESPN to give the raptors love before our title run so he’ll always be ok in my book.
The bird would bark
LMFAO
It would fly to the edge of the world
BIG PERK
“That’s all that matters to me”. Yeah we know
I think it’s cool that the players wanted to have a reunion to celebrate their accomplishment. I also think it’s cool Kyrie didn’t want to go. To each their own.
Everyone thinks its cool he didnt want to go lol what people think is weird is that he ghosted the group chat all together
Maybe he muted it for spamming too much
Prob a fresh group for the reunion trip. Doubt they have had a “2016 championship” group chat for a decade lol
I would argue it probably wasn’t a fresh group chat. I think it’s pretty likely this group had a long standing group chat that was always active.
Someone get Bronny on the phone we need him to go through his dads phone and find us the truth
bring back the bronny streams
And you just ask your dad to add you again when you get a new number?
I think they have had a standing chat lol RJ has referenced it over the years occasionally
Why would that not be plausible
Bro it’s really not that serious. Such a childish talking point.
“Ghosted the group chat” are we high schoolers? You people aren’t serious right? This cannot be a legit reason for this thread having a Kyrie hate-fest right? Because he didn’t text Bron Bron back? 😂 We deadass?
What’s hard for you to understand about it
Why anyone should give a shit.
It’s fine to not want to go, ghosting or not communicating is childish
Yeah I get that. Kyrie’s always done things his own way, and honestly it’s not like he owes anyone a reunion appearance just cause the media wants a photo op.
Know he hurt he’s yet to win without father figure Bron
Bron should be proud, he raised Kyrie
If I raised someone as dumb as Kyrie, I’d be ashamed.
Why are basketball fans like this?
[deleted]
It doesn’t matter what you think their relationship is like, it was still a weird ass comment
Do you think he and Bronny ever summer together and do brother stuff?
That was the most out of pocket question to ask in a press conference lol. Especially since Kyrie has a very close relationship with his father.
Must hurt the false king to have yet to win without being bailed out by someone. Stop it. Everyone needs everyone else to win a ring. I don’t understand why y’all hate this man so much
It was another “super team”, but too be fair Kyrie was one KD toe away from another championship
Man I think people don’t get the reference.
LeBron should have Adam Silver send Bronny to the Mavericks so we can see the first time two siblings of an active NBA player are on the same team
I wonder if he thinks LeBron broke him and Luka up 😂🤨
Thats his headcannon. Bro love them theories
I’d imagine it pains him for having an ego and wanting to separate from LeBron and becoming a has been rather than staying together and winning / competing for more championships.
Kyrie literally hit the shot to win us the championship. He’s forever remembered in Cleveland.
Who put him in the position to take that shot? Irving accomplishments are all thanks to Lebron.
This exact way of thinking of NBA fans is why Irving is not interested in a bullshit photo op for Lebron lmao. Dropping 40 in finals and hitting the shot was not enough lol
It is what it is brah, keep hating.
They joke about it but I think some people actually think Bron is Kyrie’s father and taught him how to shoot practicing in the driveway
His mistake was hitting that final shot and winning the championship. The worst mistake of his career. Imagine a world where he did not do that and they just lost. He was traded or left on his own. People would be like, eh good attempt, they almost came back from 3-1, kyrie wasn’t that good, good riddance..
They would literally hate him less because he would not be important to them at all lmao.
They were traumatized when he hit the shot and took away from the “glory” of Lebron James. Just like when he left on his own accord before being traded to benefit Lebron, how dare he lol.
And what if Kyrie’s grandparents never had kids? Where is their credit in this? Without them, that championship doesn’t exist.
Without the shot, LeBron would have lost. So it goes vice versa. Stop the hate, they won together.
He hasn’t created a legacy for himself yet Kyrie still gets put in top conversations even when he hasn’t achieved anything significant post-Cavs, he’s very overrated in basketball conversations.
The reason people overrate him is because he has a case to be the most skilled player of all-time, but his playoff resume without LeBron, KD, and Luka is terrible. He has only one playoff series win as the 1st option on his team.
Define “skill”. If its defined by finding ways to put the ball in the basket then he isn’t even top 10.
50/40/90 shooter with one of the best handles of all time.
That’s great, and he’s super skilled
I’d still say anyone calling Kyrie more skilled than LeBron or Jordan is utterly insane
I mean, he’s part of the 50-40-90 club, which takes an insane amount of skill.
That doesn’t work as a way to indicate that he’s the most skilled player ever though. The 50-40-90 club is a metric that illustrates how insanely efficient a player’s shooting is over the course of a season.
Yes Kyrie has an incredible season in his catalogue but when we talk about his skill, it’s usually in reference to his incredible agility and outrageous handle (which comes with the luxury of modern dribble rules)
If you’re using the 50-40-90 club as a metric for “skill” rather than for scoring efficiency, then surely Bird is the most skilled player of all time, seeing as he started the club after he suffered his back injury. Don’t forget that Nash is in there 4 times. Also, KD’s second appearance was after his acl.
When we start pulling things out of context, everything becomes skewed. Kyrie is a very skilled player yes, but he isn’t the most skilled of all time.
No one is disputing Irving is insanely skilled
I don’t think he has a case as the most skilled player of all time lol that’s part of people overrating him. Folks think cause he makes circus shots and has amazing handles that he’s far more “skilled” than he is.
It’s because Kyrie’s skills are the definition of ethical hoops to people. He’s undersized but just purely balls out with incredible handles and touch. But at the same time he’s not an elite first option guy.
Yep as a hornets fan if you replaced kyrie with kemba in the hornets kyrie might have won two playoff series with kembas rosters
Kenna had some terrible rosters outside of the year Jeremy Lin was on that roster. What a fun squad
Kyrie is the greatest ballhandler of all time I’m sorry but he doesn’t compare to Kemba. Kyrie has a crazy influence on young basketball players and it would’ve been the case with or without the championship
Debatable. KD’s level of ball handling at 7 foot is far harder to accomplish than irving’s handle at 6’2”
Doesn’t change the fact that Kyrie is better at ball handling. Yeah it was harder for kd to get where he is but that doesn’t matter
He wouldn’t have had the success he had with Bron but he most certainly gets remembered than Kemba for his handles come on now
A little harsh, Kemba Walker won a single playoff series his whole career. Kyrie without LeBron has at least made a finals and then won a couple of other playoff series.
That’s an exaggeration cause everytime someone think of smooth dribbler or bucket getter Kyrie pops up automatically. His legacy is the best dribbler ever.
His amount of bad decisions and immature behavior after choosing to leave Cleveland for goofy reasons is another topic.
Looooool. TIL Kyrie = Kemba. The internet always gonna internet 🤡
You don’t know ball lol
You say this but they ain’t winning another championship anyway with Durant going to GSW the next year.
Kyrie played against the Durant warriors in 2017. Really who’s to say they couldn’t have won 2018, nobody thought they would win 2016 and they found a way.
Odds are they lose, but things shake out differently with Kyrie in the mix.
As soon as durant left the warriors the nba has been wide open. Lebron and kyrie cavs 2020 would have been elite
agreed, they could’ve retooled the roster by then and been great still
A has been that has reached the NBA finals more recently than Lebron?
While you’re right about reddit, him going to Boston was very clearly about leading a team and having his own identity.
Kyrie is a complex dude and in my opinion gets in his own way at times.
“At times”
Trying to cut him some slack lol.
He’s not the first player nor the last to want to leave a team to lead his own…Brunson literally just did it. Didn’t work out for Kyrie, most of the times it doesn’t, but he’s like any other star in a player.
Brunson left Dallas because they didn’t extend him in time. He would have stayed if they just extended him. If he stayed and the mavericks won the finals, then he went to the Knicks this would make more sense.
It’s not a fair comparison. Kyrie had recently won it all with the cavs and were locked and loaded to continue competing, and he demanded a trade.
They didn’t extend him before his breakout season. Once he showed out in the first half of the season he was never going back and was going to the Knicks to be the main guy and that’s fine.
You’d think Kyrie has CTE with all the stupid shit he says
All that change of direction got his brain shook
Kyrie and love to lakers confirmed.
Not going there is understandable because he’s actually training to get back from his ACL. However ghosting is weird and only something Kyrie would do in that team. He’s just weird like KD. He left Cleveland basically for nothing, just to average 2 more points and no championships to show. Brother averaged 55 games per season in his career, can’t even stay healthy for a full season.
comments mad cause kyrie dont wanna fake kick it 😂😂 these are grown ass man. yall be sounding miserable asf
This!!!!
Kyrie choosing to not go but celebrate it his own way is pretty fitting, I do get jr feeling slighted to Kyrie just straight up ghosting them as well.
why tf is this a gif
Okay
i too didn’t go to my 10 year reunion. memories still fresh
Lol. Ours got canceled cuz nobody wanted to pay to go.
Props to Kyrie for being his own man. They did something special together and that’s all that matters. He doesn’t have to go down memory lane with those guys if he doesn’t want to.
There was another post about Kyrie being already being committed to nba top 100 camp. Now when he makes a post about it you guys still are speaking for him lol. Damned if you do damned if you don’t
Right I just said that he had something already planned and people are mad bc they don’t know the facts
I’ll always think this guy is a weirdo. One of the most skilled players ever, but a certified weirdo.
Kyrie the anti vax flat earth Irving?
Frick that dude man.
Jr Smith killed someone drunk driving and people are acting like Kyrie is a worse person for ghosting a group chat. People in this sub are crazy
Kyrie is one of the only athletes who hasn’t sold out completely.
The comments against kyrie are weird. I’d assume they’re propaganda bots.
I’m sure this is gonna get lost but for what it’s worth this week while everyone is busy trashing him he was up here near his hometown coaching. A youth basketball camp. My son and his friends ran into him and a bunch of kids all went up to ask for his picture while he was grabbing food with his family. He took pictures with everyone. He was super chill about it. He asked them about the high school they were going to and it was a really nice moment for them.
It seems they only care about their image. Why are they posting this stuff? They love the attention, both sides.
no kyrie you have to go golfing or you hate them
Kyrie is doing him! I’m curious as to whom put that whole thing together….i have a good idea..
The internet is weird. Who cares. Yall act like these teams were built on friendship. They didn’t go to war they just played basketball.
One for all is accurate these dudes went plus ultra for that chip
I see Kyrie is following the footsteps of his father figure.
I feel like I’m missing something because I’m confused why everyone is getting on him for ghosting a group chat. He obviously don’t like them guys. Choosing peace isn’t wrong, and you can still have love for people for the past but move on with life.
I recall that saying
Hate this guy
I can hear that quote sung in an ole pirate’s voice as a sea shanty, for some reason.
PLUS ULTRA!!
Well, just another NBA offseason moments. Lol.
Wow
“I miss her”
As brothers and fathers
These comments. People trashing like they just won the championship. Taking word of JR lmao. Kyrie is still the reason they are enjoying.
Turning my brain off to just celebrate this: yay thanks kyrie 😊
He was probably invited
im out of the loop, what did JR say?
Reminder: this little prick didn’t talk to anyone on the Cavs for about a month DURING THE 2017 PLAYOFFS. He’s lucky he even got an invite
Idt there is bad blood. Everyone knows kyrie is just weird.
Because the last week hasn’t been enough.
Sorry everyone, hold all sports news or headlines until the Knicks have their celebrations everyday for the next month and we get the go ahead it’s okay to talk about something else from their PR team.
Knicks fans are just forever victims, its kinda funny. Happy for the team though.
That man is not a Knicks fan. You exposed yourself as a forever hater tho 🤣🫵
If only I was a Knicks fan. 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah the Knicks are constantly overshadowed by teams like Cleveland. Why can’t they just have one year smh
So they shouldn’t cover a 10yr reunion from a historic final, or should the players hold the 10yr reunion on another date?
Yeah man. The media is ignoring the Knicks. For sure.
No it’s okay man, it’s a long summer
Bruh the Knicks have been EVERYWHERE in the news and socials lately, how much more do you want?
10 year anniversary of their championship
June 19th, the 10 year anniversary so they took a trip
I heard he had something planned for a basketball camp and couldn’t attend, we are super quick to assume on here for some reason but it’s said he already had things scheduled before the reunion.
Why is he so extra lol
Kyrie is recovering from a blown ACL and people are really criticising him for not wanting to go on vacation with a bunch of retired players? Am I getting that right?
He like the only active player trying ti win…LBJ is different..wills and front offices bend at his will..Kyrie tryna get back and win
Why dont you explain to nets and Celtics fans how badly Kyrie “wants to win” he’s a clown
Lol he regretting his decisions now huh
Are we the weird ones for caring?? Stay tuned on dr/nbagon ball Zzz
The hate boners are raging
They love this shit. They will never get over it Kyrie left their lord and savior lmao
And has accomplished nothing since.
Going to finals just 2 years ago was no accomplishment for example. He was carried there (scoring 36 to eliminate their opponents in WCF by being carried). Just like he was carried to dropping 40 and hitting the shot that won the championship in 2016.
You know what his mistake was? Hitting that shot and winning the championship. That is when you became really heated that it was not Lebron that hit the shot instead. Kyrie should have been a good boy and known his place, HOW DARE HE WIN THE CHAMP BY HITTING THAT LAST SHOT… who is he to take away from the glory of LEBRON JAMES the KING. lmao.
He is living rent free in your mind, it is sad but funny at the same time.
Knicks winning got the league feeling some type of way Lol.
Here he goes
Most the stuff people hated Kyrie for became the correct position to take …. but haters gonna hate
especially that cracker-flat Earth!
“But let me tell you why Kobe shouldn’t be remembered about Colorado hotels…”
