Summary

Seriously now.  If you or I had acted the way Kyrie Irving is acting, we would no longer have our jobs. We get paid, we go to work and we support our "team" ...our company, our fellow workers, right?  So why does the NBA allow this sort of behavior to continue?  Why do these players the team so desperately needs for many reasons, get to simply disappear?  What's with Kyrie anyhow?  C'mon, if you need help, get it and we'll all understand but this just not showing up is unacceptable.  Enough already Kyrie.  Time to play ball.  Show up.  And the same for the league.  Stop it already.  Get control of your players and hold them accountable.  I've got more to say about it all in today's rant.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Would someone please tell me what's the deal with Kyrie Irving?

0:40.0

All right, he's on personal leave from the team.

0:42.0

There's been a source that said it has to do with what happened at the capital last week.

I mean this is the guy that thinks the Earth is flat.

0:50.0

This is a guy that didn't show up for a game last week didn't bother calling Steve Nash or the organization

0:55.9

Why is it that organizations continue to allow this? Why? Now I don't know the real story behind Kyrie Irving's absence. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that it's serious, okay?
