    All y’all crying in the comments forget what Stephen a said. He was on juror’s case because he wasn’t playing. Now that he’s playing, Stephen a is singing his praises. That’s consistent

      The same guy that has ridiculed kyrie many times and to go as far as to say “he should retire.” Yea of course people aren’t to taking something like this he said seriously. And kyrie has always been consistent, so why would he win comeback player of the year.
