Is the drama w/ Kyrie Irving & JR Smith ruining the 10th anniversary of the Cavaliers’ championship?
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA Finals team is having a ball across the pond … and for those wondering why Kyrie Irving isn’t on the trip, it appears J.R. Smith addressed the matter head-on. LeBron James, Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love and more are in Europe to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their iconic title run this week … with golf being a big focal point of the gathering. | https://www.tmz.com/2026/06/17/jr-smith-claims-kyrie-irving-ghosted-cavs/

Kyrie doesn’t look at the world at face value, he isn’t concerned with trivial stuff. If the man doesn’t want to fly to Europe, I don’t blame him flying across the Atlantic to hang out. They should’ve got together in the US.
The guys will probably be back at the start of the regular 2026 season. However, LeBron and Kyrie are still playing, so bringing them back as a team might not happen. Keep in mind JR, 2026 isn’t over sir.
See how Cleveland media talks about kyrie I would never come back to Cleveland
Absolutely not.
This is exactly why Kyrie wanted out the
Cleveland media treated him like shit while he was here
Kyrie fans are Shedeur fans.
Kyrie hit the biggest shot in Cavs history, that’s enough for me!
Funny a journalist D bag named Bull calling an athlete D bag.
Funny how these journalist call athletes names but when folks online light these punk journalist up they go online and start crying.
Bunch of punks!
Bull said F Kyrie because he chose to help the youth instead of going to party with his old teammates lol. Cleveland media is horrible.
I really hate when ppl try to make me feel that I HAVE to go somewhere. Last I checked Kyrie is an adult and can choose to go where he likes. I actually don't blame him for not wanting to be there.
Plan any kind of reunion, and someone who could've gone and should've went will not be there. Just be glad for those that came , and have a good time because the people that came to the 10th may not be there for the 20th.And Bull needs to apologize for his " F Kyrie." comment.
Come back for WHAT?! Noone else does that!
Flunkies of lebron
Yall are weirdos shame on you
5:29 lmao the big dude just dnt kno wtf to say just say you dnt like bro😂
Cleveland media is so trash. Bull needs to go report in Cincinnati
Kyrie and Shump weren’t tight. Mikey was 12 yrs old and not in Cleveland when Kyrie was here.
Saying F somebody you probably have never even had a conversation with it's wild
Calling Kyrie a weirdo and space cadet is why everyone hates the media.
I find it absolutely INSANE how Kyrie can literally say NOTHING, be an absolute MODEL of a human being accounted by so many people he’s encountered and aided throughout the years and this garbage narrative still follows him. KYRIE NEVER BAD MOUTHS ANYONE, NEVER SAYS SHIT ABOUT ANYBODY. Yet you ppl still want to attach “drama” to his name. Fucking disgusting.
Why is this Rusty crusty white dude who look weird calling Kyrie a weirdo?
I wonder if Bull woumd that spicy to Ky's face. White men talking crazy about Black men in 2026 is wild work.
The Cavs should bring all of them back and celebrate all of them individually or together or both.
Without Kyrie Cleveland would have no chip, period
Kyrie can't ruin a reunion. The basketball speaks for itself.
That said, Kyrie has magnificent handles and a broken mind. Dude is toxic.
Regarding the comments about Harden and Durant, those guys are super tight. They were absolutely not the problem in Brooklyn.
LeBron tried to give Kyrie the blueprint of becoming wealthy and investing. But Kyrie rejected LeBron as if he was some bum on the street. But now LeBron is a billionaire and Kyrie wishes that he had listened to him.
Kyrie claimed that the earth was flat.
GBush cookn
Shout out to the logical people in the comment section! 🙌🏾👏🏾✌🏾the Kyrie disrespect is insane. What has he really done to deserve it?
Yall in the comments make it seem like other cities dont talk sht also…yall soft! Athletes can take it
Black Dude U look so damn STUPID up here with these DA White guys trying to tear Kyrie’s Legacy down- IT WILL NOT WORK PERIOD. If U truly cared about Kai, one of your Dumb Azzzes would have done your homework instead of listening to a washed up Smith GTFOOH. Talk bad about a white player and let’s see what your so called friends/peers have to say….those MFs will have all type of excuses for them period. Stop 🛑 being a follower to get along and so damn Stupid
G definitely should hold Kyrie down because he’s done more for less fortunate people from the community than any hooper in history
JR and Kobe Altman had issues and it didn’t end well for him here but I’m sure they have open invitations to back anytime they want
That butt hurt over kyrie not coming, but talking junk about him at the same time👎… they sound like somebody's bitter ex
Shumpert loves the Knicks family more 🗽🧡💙
Bull is not a Cavs fan who cares what he thinks about Kyrie
"Eff Kyrie. He's a D-Bag"
Looks like Bull views LeBron as a father figure too. All these grown ass men really get their feelings hurt over the choices of grown men. Kyrie's at a camp helping mentor the league's next influx of superstars (giving them life experience, sharing mistakes he made, coaching them through drills) and Bull's feelings are hurt he didn't spend it golfing and drinking wine in Europe in a literal CASTLE.
Softest take I've ever seen on this show. Ever.
He will be remembered as a weirdo … really…
What I find funny is how people immediately jumped to "Kyrie is bitter" because he didn't go on a golf trip.
Where was all this brotherhood when Kyrie was getting dragged by the media for years? When he was dealing with the Nets situation? When he was getting blasted over every controversy? I don't remember many of these people rushing to publicly defend him then.
And let's not rewrite history. The public narrative is that Kyrie just woke up one day and wanted out of Cleveland. But there were reports for years that the relationship between LeBron, the Cavs and Kyrie was already strained, and that trade possibilities were being discussed before the trade request became public.
So why is it automatically Kyrie who's the villain?
Maybe he simply had other commitments. Maybe he didn't feel the need to attend. Maybe not every former teammate relationship has to be turned into a loyalty test.
The fact that people saw one photo and immediately started psychoanalyzing Kyrie kind of proves the point.
If I don’t like you, I just don’t like you, young old or lil kid 😂 I’m not showing up.
