Kyrie Pulls Up To His Biggest Fans House Today in Shanghai
Okay this is insanely cool of him
Wonder why they picked this particular guy to visit
Sources say he can see another dimension

not sure what this comment means or why it would matter if it’s true.
anytime a redditor says “something tells me” you can assume they’re an enormous dork, it’s the 2026 version of “methinks”
shows he’s actually in shanghai not just tweeting about it
He can be so charming and down to earth like this, which makes it hard to believe when you see him serial sabotaging franchises. Hopefully those days are behind him now.
I mean I think he’s actually a genuinely good person who thinks he is way smarter than he actually is so
edit: typo
Pretty much this. He is good if we want to simplify it that way, I don’t think people doubt that. Its like you said, he thinks hes smarter than others.
Appears stupid with flat earth, etc takes. Which is comical since he has Australian ties and should know the viewing differences of southern vs northern hemisphere countries when looking at the moon, star positions, etc, basic stuff to put any flat earther in shambles that any well traveled person like himself should know.
He moved to NA when he was two. I doubt he was paying much attention to the sky at that age
I know but he’s been there since as an adult, not to mention traveling all over the world for other reasons
Its just funny because you have people who do this for a living at NASA and then someone like Kyrie just tells them the moon landing is all fake lol
I don’t think they care, honestly it probably is irrelevant to most people in terms of applicable to daily lives. Its more of probably the rabbit hole of people finding out government does lie about a bunch of things and ths less trust in institutions and believing maybe they should be skeptical of everything. The more that gets declassified of some of the diabolical CIA programs, and then this is a generation that watched the goverment go whoopsies on displacing millions of lies, spending a trillion tax dollars in a 20 year war and now nearly do it again and are so displaced from a for profit health care system. then you think its not unreasonable on why they question so much more of our institutions.
Thats not an excuse for flat earth, but its probably a decent understanding of how one goes down that rabbit hole and why they have some reasonable questions towards authorities and once they are in that wild, its easy to drown in a sea of confusion, disinformation, that it makes something like this which probably won’t affect a basketball player or most of the people about their daily life a little less consequential on their contrarian nature.
Its tiring, but not as big of a deal. That said I rarely hear anything hateful out of the guy, he seems very compassionate and a try hard. He may have some messiah complex, but I don’t think hes malicious. Its definitely not compatible with a billion dollar entertainment corporation like the NBA so not surprised problems have happened and more surprised he has been subdued no less under miriam adelson.
All in all, as a hoop fan, he’s one of the most entertaining players i’ve seen and hope he can stay on the court
True about the rabbit hole stuff
“…with flat earth, etc…”
Yeah just skip over the antisemitism stuff lol
as if it’s not the first thing people online bring up when they see him online
I mean that’s a whole big subject I didn’t want to get into lol
But the flat earth and moon stuff correlate better to the initial comment I responded to which said he thinks he’s smarter than everyone including nasa scientists
lol
He actually should have done what Curry did when Curry got caught saying the moon landing was fake. NASA invited Curry over and he made a statement about accepting their offer and was willing to educate himself.
Kyrie instead said they should accept his opinion and continued saying there is no real picture of the earth out there to prove its not flat
Everyone in the league has nothing but good things to say about him. But this sub really wants to push people to hating this guy. I think I’ll believe the people that are actually close to him than people from the outside looking in.
I mean… independent of his character he just says objectively dumb stuff. and as a public figure, you actually have somewhat of a responsibility to not say really dumb stuff because people listen to you. which is actually sort of a mark on his character
Just to push back a little that everyone who knows him likes him, Mike Gorman (long time Celtics commentator) has talked about how he had multiple rude or awkward interactions with Kyrie. Sure he’s “just” an announcer, but especially before he retired everyone on the Celtics knew him and who he is. And Gorman isn’t one to talk shit about players
It’s clear he more or less has good intentions. Unfortunately intentions aren’t enough most of the time
If you know people like Kyrie in real life you realize that his archetype can be very harmful. People who don’t realize how dumb they are can be extremely dangerous
Yeah, he suddenly activates this air of stubbornness and condescension when he defends himself, and they really amplify the stupidity of his bad opinions, but I also think he’s a nice guy.
His off the court stuff is so batshit crazy that it takes center stage over how incredibly talented he is on the court. Arguably the best ballhandler of all time. His In the Lab appearance is just insane to watch.

I think it’s past him. He’s been pretty chill since he went to the Mavs. But I do believe he’s always had good intentions even if he did some dumb shit.
It hasn’t really stopped. Just happens less frequently on the big stage. He had a “we’re in the matrix” rant on this same trip on his IG or whatever.
Kind heart and absolutely for the people until he gets all high and mighty about his “responsibilities”.
Yeah I hope so, because I want him to have a good rest of his career and treat fans to his otherworldly skills. Kyrie during his Uncle Drew days was the most I’ve been excited to see a player since prime Vince Carter
Nice people can believe in conspiracy theories, doesnt mean they arent nice to their core.
My friend was like this during COVID, believed the jab was a government psyop. He’s still one of the nicest person I know
It’s a marketing video lol
Down to flat earth*
Kyrie slander was always about who he was. Arguably the most vocally pro-worker basketball player in America outside of Wemby.
I still remember during the lockdown when he was trying to convince the players they deserve equity in for their labor, not just a wage.
The dude is constantly posting pro-worker material on his twitter page now as well.
Dude, there’s no slander. He can do good things in some areas but be absolutely nuts in others. Those are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s revisionism to highlight his good deeds to paint over his bullshit beliefs, previously held or not. He’s a flawed person like anyone else.
He can do good things in some areas but be absolutely nuts in others. Those are not mutually exclusive.
No one said this isn’t true.
The slander is literally because of his pro-worker advancement.
And he also paid WNBA players salaries I believe (during Covid maybe). Please correct me if I am wrong on that.
He is such a weird dude…. Flat earth, weird political stances and at the same time does extremely wonderful things. Not saying you can’t do both, but just feels odd.
What weird political stance does he have? I dont blame him for having absolutely 0 trust in the government considering he has posted tons in the past about how black people got tricked by white docs countless times in american history. Epstein files also probably validated many of his views
How can he be down to earth of there is no “down” on a globe Earth?
Lol you guys are so dramatic
instead of $100k vacation package golfing in scotland, kyrie making boys living in 800 sqft apartments dreams come true.
This is actually so dope love it!!
This was wholesomely awkward and awkwardly wholesome
bro really didn’t want to go on that vacation with his old teammates
He can be a little weird at times and he has some beliefs that I don’t agree with but he does seem like a genuinely good person
Kind of a lot people? It’s a given that we’re complex creatures
its reddit man everything here is extremes only
im not but you absolutely are
I’ve always kinda given him a pass for some of his beliefs because as far as crazy conspiracy people go, he’s like the real deal.
He didn’t just jump on the anti-vax bandwagon to stick it to the liberals or whatever along political lines. He’s like a legit OG flat-Earther, and I think would have handled the Covid stuff the exact same way regardless of if it was the right or the left position.
Oddly, he always sounds incredibly thoughtful and intelligent in general.
Intelligence isn’t always about the conclusions we reach. We always take some axioms in our belief systems, and when an intelligent person starts from bad assumptions or axioms then they can end up at wrong conclusions
If he were intelligent, he wouldn’t think the Earth is flat. He’s just kind. It’s ok to be kind and not intelligent.
He’s def more intelligent than you tho..
This is so cool 🥲
off camera, Kyrie gifted a set of flat earth novels to the young fella
This stupid ass sub could never make me hate you
Yeah I got a high tolerance for me to dislike someone
Kyrie has always struck me as a lil crazy but a good man
Same bro. Unless you’re actively ruining peoples lives and lying and manipulating people, you alright by me
I’m tearing up in the gym rn 🥲
Man i fux with kyrie, this is wholesome af
Kyrie, even though he has some crazy thoughts at times, seems like a good dude.
Very humble on Ky to stay on a bunk bed
Man I miss Kyrie 😞
This coming from a Nets fan, too 😂
yes, it completely derailed the team lmao
Bro has a good soul.
reddit tries so hard to make me hate this guy
Kyrie a man of the people, always proving that hes a kind and caring soul.
Ask him how he got to the complete other side of the world.
This is really great 😊
It is cool, don’t get me wrong. And I largely like Kyrie. But of course this is premeditated. Why does everyone have to film everything these days.
lol Bron and the boys sipping rose while kyrie is in China having moments like 👉🏽👈👉🏽👈 this
Needed to ditch the Cavs reunion tho
They could never make me hate him
I already loved him through his anti vax quackery for being a vegan, this cements it.
…with a camera crew
What did he write on the wall.
better question, why???
Pretty cool
To see appreciation and respect back from your idol is awesome
this is dope af!!
That’s cool as hell.
Somehow I was expecting a 600-pound man when I see the word “biggest”.
His biggest fan is actually from Wuhan and worked at the Huanan seafood market. They were going to meet up but I guess there are some immunization requirements.
Best player ever to better learn chinese buddy
I can never hate on young men being inspired
Locking up his retirement plan when he hits 40
The meme was right. He did learn Chinese, buddy
Kyrie is legit
Fuck kyrie for what he did to the nets
This made me go 180 on Kyrie. Used to hate him. Even if this is just publicity he didn’t have to do it like this. Seems like a genuine dude; just uneducated. He really is trying though with stuff like this.
Such genuine interaction. what’s that? The lighting is better over here? Can we do that last part again? But the camera crew needs to shift.
Is the earth still flat?
Damn he dissed the 2016 Cavs reunion in Saint-Tropez but went to this random Asian kid’s house in China?
when did he diss the reunion? i thought he was just busy and didnt show up
His teammates said he ghosted them.
thats not a diss tho he just didnt show up🤷♂️
No, JR said they were ghosted. Doesn’t get anymore disrespectful than ignoring and not communicating with “brothers”
Lakers fans are like top 3 most toxic fanbases ever swear to fucking god
[removed]
Maybe he meant ditched.
Personally, I wouldn’t think less of him if he thought this was more important
He’s only random to you.. not to him. Stop with all the nonsense
Wow he flew aflat the world to meet a fan?
He’s not even that big
Hope he’s not visiting China on some government BS. I often hate when people assume that a shitty government means the country is full of shitty people. China and Russia are both examples of this, countries with rich and deep and interesting histories and wonderful people that get bogged down by the oppressive governments in charge. The people don’t deserve to be ostracized because of that, and videos like this prove that.
