What is he mad about?

He is a sneaker free agent, I’m guessing he is being courted right now

I’ve never seen people so worried about team chemistry than ours😂😂

For those who are unaware, Nike has a strong hold over USA Basketball. Going back to previous years, when they do the photo shoot of the team they’d have the athletes wearing other brands stand in certain spots to hide their shoes.
If I had to guess, he’s thinking they picked White over him since White is a Nike Athlete. Unless you’re a popular megastar (say like Curry) who they can’t turn down if they want to play, they can get picky.

Yeah no shit brother the company isn’t going to like the guy who has gone out of his way for years to cover up the Nike logo and call them out for bullshit while promoting his own bullshit.

At least we got 1 ring before our team collapsed itself

If he is calling out Nike over team USA that’s a real bad look and just kind of a shit move for a teammate. We all know he’s better than and deserves a spot more than White but even if he feels slighted this ain’t the way.

Does JB go full Kyrie now that he has his one ring? He’s the one dude on the team that scares me chemistry wise.

This man is going to be so spicy next season

I truly believe he’s trolling.

Nike conspiracy along with Steve Kerr, Eric Spoelstra, Lethanos and Ty Lue trying to ruin celtics chemistry lol

Most people don’t know there should be a space before a question mark.

Don’t let em tear you apart JT & JB

So many dumb people in the comments think Nike has control over player selection. Take the tinfoil hats off, y’all are a bunch of Kyrie’s.

I can’t think of ten players in the whole league, let alone American players, who I would want on my team if I wanted to win high level basketball games

Humbly. White is a better fit for team USA. They have ample ball handling and rim pressure.

First it’s the sale of the team, now JB is pissed about an Olympic team snub. Too much drama on the tails of a championship for my liking. JB a king though, he’ll train hard this summer and freakin’ dominate next year. Fingers crossed for the vibes though 😅.

I was afraid after reaching the top of the mountain and then some that JB might lose a bit of motivation for next season but damn if this dude doesn’t get disrespected a lot. I can’t wait to see how this motivates him and I can’t wait for the disrespect to continue because every time these things happen he finds a way to take it to the next level. So all the haters keep hating cause all you are doing is motivating my guy.

Is he really bitching that they took his teammate instead of him? That’ll be great for team morale…
dehydratedbagel
Gotta admire his ability to have a chip on his shoulder. Gets 300 million, wins ECF MVP, wins Finals MVP. Still yearns for more.
