I personally don’t care about Kyrie. This team is too good to get drawn into that

He will be forgiven if he throws up a couple of sub 40% shooting nights in the finals
SubstantialCreme7748
It’s nice that he grew up …. But he’ll never escape years of fuckheadedness. The fact that he had the same result in 2 other places puts it all on him.
The Cavs went to the finals without him, so he wanted out. The Celtics went to the conference finals without him, so he wanted out.
I would consider turning the page if he got up in front of the garden crowd and apologized sincerely, then got on his hands and knees and kissed the leprechaun
It wasn’t
HeavenBeach777
its ok all is forgiven if you play like you played against the Bucks
DBlackIce
Go ahead and stink it up this series and I’ll forgive u Kai
mrstealyotaco22
Yea, fuck off.
thumbsup_baby
Kyrie needs to give Lucky a kiss and apologize for stomping on him.
And play like shit too. Then all is forgiven.
I don’t think Kyrie is a terrible person. Misguided by his own ego? Possibly. Misunderstood? Well yeah.
The thing is, you can forgive, but you can never forget. I’ll never forget how he promised us that he’s going to sign an extension, proceed to be one of the main guys involved with one of the worst drama in Celtics history, and then presumably give up against the Bucks.

Ok, how about when you were on the Nets?

All I can say is, he’s said and done a lot of shitty things in the past (some legitimately shitty, but most just shitty in the very unimportant context of pro sports), but he’s saying all the right things now, and people can and sometimes do grow up, and it’s best for everyone if they are given the space to do so.
That said, I hope the Celtics absolutely smother him like they did most of the BKN series.

Water under the bridge and hatchet buried if we get to raise Banner 18.

It just makes sense that the Jays have to beat Kyrie to win their first championship. It just makes sense. The universe is funny.

Kyrie didn’t say this about his tenure on the team. He was referencing when he was on Brooklyn, visiting Boston, and flipped the bird to fans.
He is not apologizing. He’s trying to stay ahead of the narrative that Boston fans will get in his head and impact his play.
Altruistic_Sorbet164
Wasn’t expecting a mature answer from him. Still think we are better off that he left, and lead us to where we are today.
thereal_kphed
And yet you still have internet heroes in every crack and corner of the world ready to tell you he did nothing to earn the vitriol he’s received.
Aromatic_Tower_405
He’s just trying to get ahead of the boos. We’re already in his head

Kyrie could say five sentences and squash the whole thing. “My time in Boston ended badly. I was experiencing some things in my personal life that were challenging for me, and led me to feel like I needed a change of environment. That’s not a reflection on the organization or the fans. Everyone treated me great while I was here, and I understand why the fans were upset with how I left. There was a lot of potential for our Celtics teams to be great, and it was disappointing for all of us how things turned out.”
Ear_Enthusiast
Then he went to Brooklyn and was somehow even worse. And we can’t forget that he did that shit in Cleveland to get to Boston in the first place. Kyrie is on the first year of a two year deal. He’s trying to repair his image and fly under radar. In thirteen months he’ll sign a long term deal, and go back to his mental midgetry. Back to Twittering out antisemitic and anti-science propaganda. Back to alienating his teammates and coaches. Back to refusing to play and milking injuries. Fuck Kyrie.

Had the pleasure of seeing him play in person on the C’s. One of the most fluid players on the court. Loved him when he was here. It would of been cool to get one with him.
rascalmendes
I don’t even care that he changed his mind and left. It’s the stomping on the logo that makes me mad
teddyballgame406
Kyrie is an anti-Semitic piece of shit. He’s Kanye lite in terms of his world views.
He’s backtracking on certain things now only because he’s back on the NBA’s biggest stage.
Kyrie is a conman and says what you want to hear until he’s done doing that and his real ideologies come out.
LarBrd33
It was a great reflection of who he was and who he probably will be if he faces any adversity.

“a little bit more grace could have been extended my way, especially what I was dealing with during that time as a human being.”
No one knew about this till after the fact. And it’s borderline gross how he uses the death of his grandfather as a shield for his shitty behavior cause it sure as hell didn’t stop after he left.
sandote
I appreciate that he can find the self reflection say that. I really only had a problem when he pulled the shit he pulled in the Bucks series. I can totally understand a guy going through some difficult times and realizing what’s truly important to him, in terms of life and family, regardless of what he told the fans. I’m truly happy for him for finding a real home, but I still hope the Cs can whoop his ass.

You know, I think that Kyrie has showed tremendous growth since getting to Dallas. I’m not sure what kinda things or people he had around him when he was in Cleveland, Boston or Brooklyn but it really does seem like he’s turned over a new leaf in Dallas. He’s playing like a team first guy, keeping his name out of the media for saying or doing outlandish shit and seems happy.
It’s unfortunate that his time as a Celtic was what it was because that roster was loaded. That felt like a missed opportunity but it was riddled with injuries.
All that said, for the next 4-7 games…it is absolutely fuck Kyrie Irving. Only when banner 18 is hanging in the rafters can he be forgiven.
YungMidRange
I think that “great reflection of who I want to be” is better. You acted like an asshole on your way out. Clearly you’re not the type of person that will own that. Can’t wait to beat you in 5. Ps you’re still really good at basketball and some Celtics fans DO suck. Both can be true

i hope ya sweep his ass lol

This quote had nothing to do with his Celtics tenure. It was about how he reacted to Celtics fans giving him shit afterwards.
boofthecat
Fuck Kyrie but him burning sage before his first game back to Boston was funny as hell……. Like , who the hell would do that? Only a crazy person I suppose

Nah, it was.
