Oh I get that 100%. Same way people try to claim they are from DC when they are from out Maryland somewhere .Maybe you don't know, but New Yorkers don't consider people who live in the General Metro Area New Yorkers.
They're different situations, but only slightly different. Both times it was played up in the media. It's just a good (false) storyline.
But Kyrie never said he was FROM Ny. He simply said he was home. Clearly he is speaking of the area and not SPECIFICALLY BK

Why don’t you want that same love for LaBron though?

Kyrie can't claim BROOKLYN, but he can claim the region and call that home.

Stop.
Its a business. I'm all about dudes getting their money. Clippers gave him a whole lot of it. And they traded him for good pieces. Now, the play was to clear space and get Kawhi, and its not playing out like it should have.
It was a great move.
Everyone wants the owners to be loyal but these players aren't always loyal. I know its the cool thing to bang on rich owners, but i feel the same way about the players. These dudes are getting paid big money to hoop!!

Maybe they can super impose Barclay's into the TD Garden for that Kyrie Nike commercial.

If he’s from jersey, the place where the nets are from, and is now playing for the nets, it sounds like he is home.
Lakers need to start filling out that roster. They know by now if kawhi’s coming.

Bron just got here. He ain't earned nothing as a Laker yet. Gotta put in some work first.

Yeah we're clearly splitting hairs. If he rooted for the Nets growing up, I completely get it. It's technically the same franchise and they only moved across the Hudson.
I get it. I'm still flabbergasted at the thought of a kid growing up in New Jersey dreaming of one day playing at the swamp.

Kyrie is home.
Just like everyone else that’s gentried Brooklyn beyond the point of recognition

Man, we really need Kawhi to make his decision already. We're losing our minds in here talking about where you from, cuz.

I see both sides of the argument. But the clips putting blake's jersey in the rafters to get him to sign then flipping him was cold

Kyrie really a weird dude if he grew up wanting to play in the Izod Center

It’s all relative to that persons experiences, but generally no
I grew up in LB but am now out of state. If I was offered a job back in the IE I would say “I’m going home”. Shrugs

CP3 wanted to leave. He would have done it as a FA, but he opted in so they could do a sign and trade to help the Clippers. Kind of like what KD did with GSW this Summer. Not the same situation as Blake at all.
And for the record, I don’t have a problem with the Blake trade. He’s really good, but not a Top tier player and he has chronic injury problems. And if they didn’t trade him, they wouldn’t be in a position to even have a chance at someone like Kawhi now.
