      He was using Kobe as an example saying that just like Kyrie, Kobe didn't like the media etc. However still speak to the media and be CLEAR; where Kyrie is always evasive and cryptic.

      Honestly, nothing he said has been incorrect regarding the media. These hot take pundits (more talking heads) like Stephen A, prove his point. They make money off him, not the other way around. I thought the way Max, Rachel Nichols and a few others articulated their thoughts yesterday were perfect. It sucks for him to have to talk all the time, and of course he is partially to "blame" for some of the really dumb things he's said previously, and for how he's conducted himself. It's all part of him growing and maturing as a player. But sports media clearly deserves a chunk of the blame for how they try to sensationalize and drum up whatever they can. Both sides are at fault. As Max and others have said though... ultimately, the best person to get the message out is Kyrie himself. He's an intelligent dude with a good heart. He just needs to pick his spots better.
