    The Nets might even consider cutting him.

    His trade value is now probably lower than Westbrook's.

    Since he is suspended without pay maybe they can just suspend him the rest of the season. I don't see Kyrie rectifying this with his statements, he doesn't seem able to admit any fault.

    Reggie Miller with great comments.

    NBA players are losing credibility because they are not calling out a biggot. Cricket from every single NBA player? Many will wonder if it's them protecting their peer, person of the same race, etc. Hate is hate and wrong is wrong?

    What did he mean when he said "I cannot be anti-Semitic knowing where he come from"? He he referring to his religion?

    Maybe he considers himself a true Semitic as he is the true ethnic Black Israelites that evil white Jews stole and use to oppress blacks?

    I remember a time when Dame and Kyrie were considered to be on the same tier. It's a whole different ball game these days. About to be out of the league.

    Dude seriously tried to play the slavery card, rather than apologize for what he did.

    It's ok to say someone "reminds" you of an idiotic thing someone else said, and not have to make it a comparison/who has it worse.
