Doug Gottlieb: ‘OBTUSE’ is the best way to describe Kyrie Irving… Kyrie is one of those guys that has been told he’s ‘smart’, and he’s smart enough, but he’s not actually ‘intelligent'. Because if he was, he would realize that the media is all part of what has allowed him to be crazy-successful financially. The media writes, covers, talks about him and his team, and it promotes them, which makes you want to watch them. There’s no accountability from Kyrie. The things that he has said which have upset people, he has said on his own… Don’t blame us for you being an IDIOT. Nobody told him in Boston to grab the microphone and say ‘if you guys will have me, I’d like to re-sign’. No one made you call out LeBron James and say ‘I finally have Kevin Durant, and someone to make big shots.’ YOU did that on your own. No one asked you about the idea of ‘not having a head coach.’ It sounded completely disrespectful to the chain of command in the NBA… Kyrie is Jim Carrey in ‘Liar, Liar’ when you walked into the bathroom and he said ‘I’M KICKING MY OWN A**, DO YA MIND??’ We don’t, we enjoy covering it and putting a microphone in front of you because you say things that cause everyone else in the NBA to be like ‘dude, what are you doing??’… The only thing that you’re doing is bringing negative attention to a place where there doesn’t need to be any, and the only reason there is negative attention is because of the stupid stuff that he’s said on his own without any prompting.” (Full Video Above)
