Elite offensive talent. Lacked the leadership/alpha that players like MJ/Kobe had.

And the meaning/sentiment of the word has definitely changed over the years. I remember my grandma and uncle would say it rarely but I still remember the disgust and almost hatred in my grandma's voice when she used it to describe someone. It was like she learned the word directly from slave masters and their kind. My uncle wasn't as harsh but it wasn't a compliment and was more like for him the word was synonymous with 'dumb fool'. When me or my peers use it it's moreso a reminder like don't forget where you at and what they think of you on some 'I'm not black I'm OJ' yea..ok ***** steez

If you look at the incident, when Schröder started to clap at the ref for calling the foul on Kyrie, that's when he started to lose it and get all up in his face. And everything that happened after escalated.

isnt "Champion" just synonymous with "played alongside LeBron/Steph/Kawhi" during the 2010s?) Prior to that, he got punched in de face by his backcourt mate, was universally disliked in the locker room even by his All-nice-guy vets like Jarrett Jack and Luol Deng, very low assist totals for a pg but always dodged the "not a real pg, not making other guys better") flack despite playing with 2 all stars and scarcely even registering double digit assists), bought bedbugs from Cleveland on the plane to Oklahoma City once, Hot Sauce wanna be

Chances are one day he's gunna get caught saying the n word on tape or getting caught chilling with someone who's dropping that word in front of his face and he's not reacting and this defense of him will look, excessive.there is nothing that annoys people more than someone being confident in their own beliefsthat doesn't line up with their own.
Again if someone had used a derogatory LGTBQ slur towards him & he went & shared his experience online..... people wouldn't be lined up to question his motives or sincerity in feeling a way
A black man don't like being called ***** by another black man............. Suddenly he's soft & blowing it out of proportion.

Who knows what this _ thinks
The tweet reads like he wants black people to stop using it period. He just doing the most like he always does.
For the last part you said, Dennis Schroder did not call him a derogatory term. I'm not comparing this episode to somebody outside the black people saying or doing racist. That's a entire different topic and it's more weird that Kyrie would make this public for outside people to talk about it.
Again we'll just agree to disagree on this one, I personally know people who view the word as derogative so i don't use it around them despite me using the word all the time.
And there's nothing weird about shedding light on something you view as negative & trying to change it
.I guarantee you the same people speaking loud about how Kyrie should have felt & reacted to this wouldn't discuss a trans athlete taking offense to being called out of their preferred pronoun with the same recklessness & that's my point every time Kyrie does something.
From the sage, to the walking stick, to some of his beliefs he's shared.... Because these aren't traditional to the more well known religions these things get mocked, clowned & disrespected out of pure ignorance.

Just wondering if he's preaching that doctrine to his teammates.

This is exactly why you can't take Kyrie serious in this situation. Him being told to "back up *****" by a BLACK man is not a slur or derogatory in anyway.

Used to enjoy the network airings of Do The Right Thing, which among other things, substituted “mickey-fickey” for “mother ****er”.

So because he lost his cool this one time he should react aggressively everytime going forward..... and if he doesn't then his feelings were never real?
Fam i never thought i'd see the day where a black man saying I don't like being called a ***** would bring so much controversy

Arguably one of the most skilled players ever to grace the court. One of the best dribblers and finishers of all time. Multiple time Champion.
