Kyrie Irving has been assigned a six part checklist before he can return to the Nets, a new initiative we at Basketball Illuminati have labeled The D.U.N.C.E.

0:00.0	Well, well, well, look who decided to watch the Donnegee documentary LeBron James.
0:07.2	Only a part of it, Tom. Only a part of it. Two months late.
0:10.2	He said on Sunday, 1217 AM, this is what he tweeted. I'm gonna be honest.
0:17.2	20 minutes into it, I just had to stop watching untold operation, Flagrin Fowl, especially
0:24.0	with having a game tomorrow. And I probably won't finish it until I retire. Can't have my
0:28.8	mind feeling away. I really appreciate the disclaimer that he just has to be honest, because
0:36.0	I've been watching LeBron James play basketball since 1992. That's been his paramount, is honesty,
0:42.8	truth telling the truth, being straightforward, reading books, finishing things, all things that
0:49.9	LeBron James is known for. I think my favorite lie that he's told is the one where the guy is talking
0:56.1	about the best advice his coach gave him. I had one coach and he used to say put yourself in

1:39.7	I said, Sugs about to hit this as soon as he crossed half court game. He's referring to the game
1:45.6	where the Jalen Sugs hit in the NCAA tournament. Yeah. Why? Why can't you just be like, amazing shot
1:51.9	by Jalen Sugs? Oh my God. You just got to be inserting yourself into that and try to take credit
1:59.5	somehow. He's trying to take credit for Jalen Sugs. Look, LeBron James has been in the public
