Kyrie Irving really is an idiot. Thinks Bucks retro court "is a court from the 80s"

quote:

MILWAUKEE -- Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving expressed concern about the throwback court the team will play on Thursday night when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. The Bucks are hosting a "Return to the MECCA" night, referencing the former name of the arena, where the team played from 1977-1988. The Bucks went so far as to have a court painted in the bright multi-color fashion of the original Robert Indiana-designed floor.

quote:

Irving seemed a bit concerned after walking across the court before Boston's morning shootaround on Thursday. "I'm all about safety, so we'll see how it is on my knees, see how it is on everyone's bodies," said Irving. "I know this is a pretty older court and it looks like it's fresh painted as well. I'm just going to do my assessment and go from there."

quote:

When a reporter suggested it's a newer court that was simply painted, Irving remained skeptical. "It took me three steps to realize this is not the same NBA court I'm used to playing on," said Irving. "We'll see what's up."

Yet when he gives a political opinion or any opinion on how we should live our life, we are supposed to listen because he plays basketball more better

Danny Ainge is such an idiot for giving away that brooklyn 1st rounder+ players for Irving.

He'll definitely see "what's up" if *when* Giannis and the Crew goes IN on the Celts again tonight

Eventually, Irving said, "All I wanted to do was to be able to have that open conversation," before going more in depth. Here is Irving's response: “It was all an exploitation tactic. All it did was, it literally (spun) the world — your guys’ world — into a frenzy. And it proved exactly what I thought it would do in terms of how all this works. It created a division, or literally, like, stand up there and let all these people throw tomatoes at me or like, have somebody think that I’m somehow this different intellectual person because I think that, or because I believe that the world is flat and you think the world is round. It created exactly that. It did exactly that, to where it became, like, because I think different, does that ever knock my intellectual capacity? Or the fact that I can think different things than you can? ... Like, do your own research. Don’t come to me and ask me, ‘Do you think the earth is flat?’ I was just like, ‘Bro, at the end the of the day, you’re gonna feel and believe what you wanna feel, but don’t knock my life over here.”

In his defense, it may actually be an older court if they are not using their original court. I doubt they are using their normal game floor for this one off game

I just read a story a while back about the court, it was sold off to some guy and he has it in a warehouse somewhere.

And here I thought Duke was some prestigious academic school.

Yes I know he was only there one year.

He’s not nearly as smart, witty or clever as he believes he is.

I've lived in Milwaukee for six years now and I'm still astounded at the people here and their weird fascination for this ugly fricking basketball court design

Bout to take Sir Winston for a walk around the arena

Leaving Lebron and shooting 37% was all anyone needed as evidence

Duke needs to be investigated cause there's no way this dummy should have been accepted their. Probably couldn't even had gotten into UNC Charlotte.
