This.
I don’t see the urge to want other players to comment on actions of players that aren’t even on their team.

Jail Blazers, Ron Artest, Malice at the Palace, Sprewell, Kobe rape case. Shaq vs Kobe.

I agree that there's many PR reasons why a player won't speak about another player.
I'm not trying to compare issues or say "what about ___", but it's just not a good look when, for example, LeBron has this to say about Sarver:
but is mum on other issues. Condemn all of it or none of it.

Folks out there are mad that players spoke out against Meyers Leonard and not Irving

I was thinking about 04 but couldn't remember if there was a string of bad luck more recent than that. That's crazy.

Did they really?
I know it caught on with the media and on socials and he caught hell but did active players really comment on him during that situation?
Maybe they did but I'm not remembering any instances of anyone speaking out or in defence of him rn off the top of my head.

don’t need Bron or anyone speaking out on anything they aren’t educated on or even not feel comfortable about speaking on

Same here, I don't know which players were commenting on Leonard. But folks are upset that Irving is being let off the hook by the players

I don’t think players spoke out against Leonard or Isaac.
I do like the players caping for each other, but it goes back to picking and choosing what you want to speak up about.

I honestly don’t remember players really speaking on Leonard either. Way easier to ignore when the player is a bum.

Saying something just because you have a platform is about as egregious and some of these idiots making these ridiculous comments.
Nobody is versed on everything and it's fine to focus on issues that affect your community directly as long as it's not at the expense of another, as Myrie, is doing.

Not condoning antisemitism but it’s not Bron’s job to necessarily defend them either. Just like he didn’t speak up for the LGBT when ant man goofed. Just like he didn’t have to say anything for domestic violence survivors in the miles case. Etc. IMO
Wrong is wrong and will get dealt with accordingly.

Again no disrespect to the situation but I don’t think anyone should have to answer for Myrie except for Myrie. What’s the point of asking Devin Booker?

Bron refused to comment on the China/Daryl Morey situation too. I think he said something generic or politically correct, I don’t remember exactly.
Hes got a PR team and I’m sure he can educate himself fairly quickly if he wanted to say something.

At this point, whether wrong or right, Nets might as well get all of it out and hire Ime.

I don't know why but I read the recent Candace Owens Tweet that was somewhat defending Irving
I am beyond confused and exhausted upon reading the replies and sorting through which agendas people are pushing
Seriously, this reminds me of when Irving refused to get vaccinated. You had so many opposing sides mixing together and even then uniting behind Irving's "cause". Outright comedy
I am definitely done with the topic lol. It's utter nonsense in every sense

Lebby learned his lesson. Man’s had to fly cross country and kiss the ring. He staying out of them folk business.

I don’t expect other people to answer for another person’s stupidity. Kyrie caused this hell storm. He has to deal with it.

And this is why the Nets and league should've got in front of things a lot faster instead of half-assed PR messages.
