You've essentially reduced Kyrie to pushing a flat earth theory, which he said he was kidding, and pushing a conspiratorial and antisemitic movie that he likely didn't see and already apologized for. I'm not casting stones at you either, I feel the same way. I'm just saying it's easier for us to reduce him to just those things. Just because he's said and done some stupid crap doesn't make him an unsuitable mentor, just flawed. He's also been extremely charitable. I'm willing to bet that we've all had flawed mentors and hopefully we've been mentors ourselves, I know you and I both have been and we're flawed as eff.
Ha, I'd been tempted when I posted to note that antivax was worst of the 3 because he has way more influence on others with that crap vs. the others. Specific even to mentoring aspiring basketball players, his last half-decade or so would indicate he probably shouldn't be doing that as far as decision-making that will be good for a basketball career.
I don't know, my guess is that if a kid of yours was a fan of or viewing kyrie as a role model, you'd probably be trying to nudge that fanhood elsewhere.
Anyway, I bet less than 5% of d.scott's readership thought anything more of the kyrie reference, if they knew him at all, than "hey, nba." But if nowell collapses down the stretch, maybe they can do the marcus foster lebron camp thing about him.
