If you’re still defending Kyrie Irving or Kanye West, unfollow me. I have no patience for fools, Stans or the clowns who tolerate hate speech just because they used to hoop/rap well. Even before they were washed, making excuses for what they’re spewing is indefensible. – 4:54 AM

Somebody really needed to sit down Kyrie & give him some books. Not the self-published kind sold on the corner. Actual books that were originally printed in hard back copies. He’s always talking about what he finds on YouTube or a Google search, when he needed to visit a library. – 12:20 AM
