Kudos to Rachel Nichols bringing up that bargaining leverage for NBA players to force the hands of officials to make their moves, Stephen A and KP have done their job in voicing out but only she’s brought up that solid idea to force officials’ hands

Kyrie has really lost it. First, believing the earth is flat, then quitting on his teams, then this??? He is a mess!

If you going to listen to a player on playing or not playing make sure they are actually playing this year and was not playing any way… I could be wrong but never heard him ever speak about social issues before but now he’s trying to talk players in to boycotting their job when I feel like we need sports more then anything protest in the daytime watch the game at night

Kyrie and Howard should play. And use their salary they earned during that period they playing and donate to BLM. How about that?

So if brothers are still hanging from trees and getting killed by police next season, will Kyrie and Dwight still not play at all?

Perkins’Mya Moore reference was on point. I believe like Chris Broussard said that their power is in playing and making demands while playing. He also mentioned a collective threat not to play WITH DEMANDS attached. Kyrie has great sentiment, but there needs to be a plan.

KYRIE is right & it’s also a mistake to re-start the season during a pandemic

A lot of ppl have seem to forgot all about COVID 19. They think he’s only talking about racial injustice.

Ok he’s right but what’s his plan? The people that want to sit out need to put together a plan. You gonna cancel the season cool but what’s the end goal. I wouldn’t give up my paycheck for a vision without tangible substance.

Kyrie, if this was such an important movement and all these people protesting and posting black squares are with you, how are you so insecure that Basketball will take all that away?

sometimes I feel like Kendrick goes overboard with his takes but this one might actually be his best one. The bit he did on Golic & Wingo.. and now this.. Gotta give him props for calling it like it is. Respect.

The commentary about players not being like LeBron who can play and protest is ABSURD. People go to work and still manage to protest, how come these dudes WHO WILL BE ON TV on a nightly basis won’t be able to voice their thoughts? Come on bro

So you want him to go at it alone? That’s why the cycle never ends. You’re basically telling him to “shut up and dribble”. Ballers have made millions for years, donated, and nothing has changed. Why would anyone think this would be different? Kyrie is wanting a different outcome so he wants to do something different. That’s just a logical man’s thought. Doing the same thing looking for a different result is insane. Overall, marching, voting, etc will do nothing. I respect the move Kyrie and I’m praying these vultures get off you but a boycott wont do it either. Repent. Repent!
