There are few things more fun in sports when great players play great on a big stage. That was Kyrie tonight in his return to BKN with all eyes on him. That Luka guy was pretty good too. Can’t wait for Thu at the biggest stage of all in the sport @TheGarden – 12:30 AM

“For me, it was bigger than a championship here.”
This quote from Kyrie is a good representation of his Nets tenure. He made several decisions that did not put the team first and signaled winning a championship was not his top priority.
Whether or not you agree with those… – 11:47 PM
