Between Kyrie and Ben Simmons, Stephen A been itching to come to work 😂😂😂

[datsapaddlin]

If you think the Nets part 2 was fun just wait next Season for The Nets part 3 Ben Simmons edition 😂

“Ben Simmons is like that pretty girl who smokes cigarettes” Perk be in his bag 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[RayMon]

My biggest problem with Kyrie loyalists is that they act like Kyrie deserves ZERO blame whatsoever. Stephen A's beef with Kyrie was NEVER about the vaccine yet Kyrie stans kept bringing it up. Kyrie is never available. End of discussion. Kyrie fans can't defend that fact no matter how hard they try.

[CoolTy]

All these excuses being made for KD is sickening! If he’s “the best player in the league”, hold him accountable like you do Lebron, Steph, Giannis etc

[wewworldentertainmentwrest]

Completely absolved KD of any blame, after all the talk of ‘KD is the best player’ ‘needs to leave GSW to prove he can win’ here they are crucifying the Robin of the duo.

[theholyregime]

Wasn’t it Lebrons faults for AD being hurt, Russ jacking up shots and putting the whole team together? It’s KD’s fault for having Kyrie as his teammate and allowing him to miss games.

[Rob]

KD mom must have put a hit out on Stephen A he never blame this dude for nothing lmaoo

[ssss]

The Nets have 2 of the best part time players of all time, next year is gonna be crazy!

[Johnsons]

Imagine Kyrie’s career if he never played with LeBron? Would probably never win a ring as a #2 with anyone else

[Ice-]

People have *girlfriend* memory when LeBron fails, and *grandma* memory when KD fails.

[kingsax]

Kyrie didn't take the vaccine. That's his stance.

But what did he do for Brooklyn when he was fully available in the playoffs? He should've picked up Durant with those fresh legs if KD was struggling like he was.

[otarzan]

“Kyrie got time off…surprise surprise surprise” 😂😂

[grownboyy]

kyrie ain’t “the best player in the world” so don’t try to disperse the blame. address what actually needs to be addressed with the same energy you’ll give anybody else

[rolitshindane]

Why does KD ALWAYS escape blame. Same thing used to happen in okc. Russ got all the blame for BOTH their shortcomings

[youngfathersmind]

You can't put Durant and Irving in the same level of Kobe Lebron and Mj.. Those guys not just show up everytime at work but they always put it on them win or lose..

[lunynez]

People keep deflecting the blame on KD. We already established that KD is not the best player in the world. But KYRIE is the reason this team failed for 3 years. Its just not this year. Last year he barely played and 2020 he didnt want to play in the bubble. If Kyrie played this season, the Nets wouldnt have even played the Celtics first round

[YvngGoat_]

Everywhere Kyrie goes he’s the problem

[dontizzle]

All year Kyrie is a hero lmaoooo what a joke man swept

[Nando-khmg]

But it’s not Kd fault… this guy is straight clown
