Re: Has Kyrie rehabbed his image?
He 100% has. He has managed to completely avoid off the court distractions and media controversy. Has his team up 2-1 in the 2nd round, taking less shots but having his best playoffs since 2016.

Re: Has Kyrie rehabbed his image?
Yeah I think so. I realized recently that I don't even hate him anymore haha. He's matured and his teammates love him and he's playing great with no distractions or controversy. Happy for the guy.

There’s nothing left to debate. The global data says statistically safe and effective at preventing deaths.
The anecdotes and supercuts try to paint a picture of something else.
Guess what has been shown to definitely give people myocarditis? Covid.
I hope they don’t keep it open because there’s been enough bad faith blathering already about vaccines.
In Spain at least, it is proven that with the vaccine thromboses have also increased a lot...and they did not tell us that...that without taking into account the violation of countless human rights...perhaps "the rest of us" is not a number as high as you suppose...just see, the comment you responded to is better valued than yours...at least debatable

Hi Bisme. Kyrie is a vindicated man. I love watching his season.

He'll never rehab his image. That said, he seems like a far easier to handle player than KD and Harden.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Dereck Lively was running for his life to avoid a foul from Chet because they were Hack-a-Livelying, but Kyrie told him he didn't need to do that just make your free throws we believe in you, and that's exactly what Lively did after that.

I am honestly in no mood to moderate anything today lol but if posts start getting reported for vaccine misinformation or people start insulting each other over it another mod could pop in and lock the thread and hand out strikes. This is a public service announcement.

Re: Has Kyrie rehabbed his image?
I love him and it was always like that, he has the most beautiful basketball and that is what matters to me... I will not pretend that I know him, from what the misinformation media tells me... however I noticed that his teammates (the people who lives with him day to day) he seems to love him... and that is not new from his time in the Mavs... so as they said before, if you hated him, ask yourself why?

COVID was a crazy time. Kyrie had a lot of other chit, but that stuff wouldve blown over if it wasnt for the Covid hysteria.

By limiting what he says it makes it easier to rehab his image.

Re: Has Kyrie rehabbed his image?
It's funny how everyone who interacts with him on a day-to-day basis seems to like him. Almost all of his detractors are people who work in the media or people who sit around consuming it like mindless drones.
Kyrie was vilified for being, at worst, a harmless contrarian.

Don’t worry man. He was just being playful. I’m not going to start any debates about it, it’s Mother’s Day and I’m busy BBQing

I’m honestly shocked he’s stayed away from the Israel/Palestine stuff this season. Does seem like he’s matured and loved in Dallas so good on him

for sure, in part is his maturity, but also a team that is properly equipped to handle him, and texas maybe a bit more tolerant of his views

Because he promoted an antisemetic movie.
I’m glad he’s doing better now though.

When he keeps his opinions to himself and talk in normal human languages, he is a likeable player.
