I don’t typically like shoot-first PG’s, and that’s how I saw him. And my favorite PGs play defense. But I’ve since seen that I misunderstood him. I was wrong about his game and his character… And he’s definitely grown up since Boston. I think LeBron was a bad influence on him (for leadership style) and after Boston, he became his own man.

It continued when he encouraged the NBA players association to vote against the bubble and his support financially of the WNBA financially ($1.5 million) when they refused to play in support of social Justice protest.

    Kyrie has been a pioneer on and off the court. He will be remembered as someone like Muhammad Ali, and people ridiculed me for saying that, but the more time passes the more it gets obvious that this guy is into the truth and didn't shy away from sharing it and handling it like a boss
