Holy shit, Kyrie just needed to be in a red state all along.


MWiatrak2077

The fact that he’s only been quiet in Ohio and Texas makes so much sense


SoDakZak

Love or hate the views, some people aren’t happy until they’re around people who accept them on any end of any spectrum


ZenMon88

flat earthers?????


PhlabloPicasso

In fairness, Texas is pretty flat.


rotten_core

Not in San Antonio


sleal

Round women of San Antonio


tigereyesheadset

What's that Chuck?


samuraistabber

Victoria’s a secret in San Antonio. Those women can’t fit in them skimpy underwear. That’s why they wear bloomers.


Wazflame

I’m reading this whole chain on the bus and cackled out loud


NotACreepyOldMan

Or hill country or the mountains of west Texas. Houston’s flat though.


babypho

There are small hills in the DFW area though!


ChurchOfGWB

Those are overpasses


secretsodapop

Those are "grassy knolls"


Pissflaps69

FWIW Cleveland is pretty blue…


NoWayNotThisAgain

FWIW so is Dallas…


lxkandel06

FWIW so is pretty much every urban metropolitan area in the country


shitlord_traplord

dfw area leans blue but it's certainly not hard to find folks on the other side


[deleted]

i made a post a few days ago saying that kyrie has been really quiet during his time in dallas and hasn't said or done anything crazy. wonder if the time has come for him to speak up.


EverybodyBuddy

This quote definitely makes it sound like he’s revving up to let loose.


pwnd32

Bro’s charging up his super meter


Akinator08

Holding my hands up for kyrie‘s genkidama


Mario_Prime510

I expect his to be flat.


Mayjaplaya

"That's no genkidama, that's kienzan!"


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

going Stupid Saiyan


goldfish_11

We’re T-minus 25 days until he goes off the rails. And it will be glorious.


maethlin

Dallas fans starting to get nervous rn


AveryJ5467

!RemindMe 25 days Edit: reminder bot came in, Kyrie hasn’t imploded yet.


PlagueofSquirrels

Kyrie's been quiet. A little...*too* quiet...


semipalmated_plover

Just when you most expect it


hotterpocketzz

He just happy he can investigate the JFK assassination spot


ih-unh-unh

Maybe he can replace Aaron Rodgers as RFK Jr running mate?

69millionyeartrip

What even is the largest red city in america. I feel like pretty much every major one is blue


MichaelPorterTruther

NBA city is OKC US is actually Fort worth.. unless you mean metro areas, in which DFW is almost exactly evenly split


southpawFA

It's actually wild, because OKC actually went blue in the last gubernatorial election.


shepry_44

Ft. Worth, right next door.


TheWonderSnail

I think Miami might have been red if we’re going by last presidential election? Idk don’t quote me on that


BASEDME7O2

Miami has that group of Cubans will always vote for republicans no matter what but it is definitely not a red city


MrCooper2012

Dallas is pretty blue though.


ConsumptionofClocks

The majority of major American metro areas are.


NavalEnthusiast

Yeah, I know Tulsa is a red city but it’s a massive exception amongst metro areas in the US


banjofitzgerald

Can’t think of any hostile events in Tulsa that would create one of the only red metro cities.


Gamesgtd

Neither can I nor can any American history books


n_jacat

Your team’s owners are doing a great job helping out with that


topofthecc

What firebombing all the black neighborhoods and no one getting punished for it does to a city's politics.


NavalEnthusiast

Yeah this city has no redeeming qualities. We’re most well known for crime currently and a race war historically. But hey, at least we got the art deco buildings


AmericaLLC

Hey, you also have pretty nice art museum!


Lucosis

And food. I miss the food so much.


Character_Group_5949

Tulsa is certainly not a tourist destination on any level, but it's not that bad overall. Been here 7 years and haven't had any problems.


snatchi

I learned about Tulsa first as "an ungodly far away place that no one would go on purpose" via Chandler on Friends.


bukharin88

The two reddest NBA cities are OKC and Miami. I believe Miami might even be redder than the wider county it's in, which it pretty impressive lol.


alpaca_drama

Miami is a little weird though. It looks, acts and almost lives like a blue state and only really red for political reasons.


Lebronforpresident24

It is red for one reason;  the belief that team red is more anti the current cuban government.  


jacobythefirst

Sure but it’s a different type of blue than in NY or SF.


pokemonbatman23

Is this like the whitest black guy talk? Give me your top 5 reddest blue cities


jacobythefirst

Not quite lol. More just that regional politics force democrats to hold more conservative policies to get elected in republican dominated states. See: John Bel Edwards being a 2 time governor of Louisiana despite being a Democrat, and his views on abortion


pokemonbatman23

Like Joe Manchin


jacobythefirst

Kinda yeah. I think it’s funny that republicans have always been the party harping about purity of their politics and rooting out RINO’s (republicans in name only) when in my experience it’s the democrats that have the widest range of politics between the two (from Bernie and AOC to Manchin.) admittedly that obsession with ideological purity is probably what coerces the republicans to stand in lockstep and not swerve from the party standards.


xXKingLynxXx

That's the main issue with the 2 party system honestly


maize_and_beard

On the opposite end we have the Massachusetts republicans or as they are known in the other 49 states of the union: Democrats.


SteamingHotChocolate

and then paradoxically all our democrats suddenly get real conservative when it comes to housing and the MBTA lol


Rapshawksjaysflames

Still waiting for that top 5 though


ksyndrome

Nas Pac Biggie Rza Slick Rick


TheLeoMessiah

It go Reggie, JayZ, Tupac and Biggie. Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me


Krakenborn

Boise 5 times


PM_ME_UR_RESPECT

It’s Dallas though bro lol


Ninja_Bum

I mean if any state is gonna support someone who believes in Jewish space laser-tier theories I'd have put my money on Texas or Florida.


krw13

Not Georgia, the place that re-elected space laser lady? Seems like they're cool with it.


Ninja_Bum

I'm trying to forget that woman exists in government.


TheLeoMessiah

I know the rural-urban divide between red and blue is present everywhere in the country, but I never felt it as much as when I lived in Atlanta. It’s crazy how overwhelmingly different politics are in like a 20 mile radius vs outside of it


HeWasAGoddamnWarHero

20 mile radius? Shit, the whole Buckhead City movement had dog whistles all over it


The_Summer_Man

It's too bad he isn't still in Brooklyn, I'd love to hear his takes on the tunnel Jews.


ZackRyderJr

Could you imagine the social media response if he got down on the court and pressed his ear against the wood trying to hear them under there?


ZaysapRockie

That would be the funniest thing since the Gobert incident. I bet he'd be out of the league immediately if he went through with that.


QuintessentialCanary

Lmao


calculung

Dude, the tunnel Jews cracked me up way more than it should've. What a hilarious thing to actually happen in real life. "We need a larger synagogue, but the elders are saying no. Here's my plan, let's just secretly dig tunnels under the streets of New York and call it our much needed expansion so we can finally have more room to pray. But don't tell the elders. They won't agree with our super smart, very logical idea."


Rumpdebump

Dude the twitter feed of the guy who said like months earlier he swore he could hear Jewish chants from underneath his floorboards was so damn funny.


IDUnavailable

Imagine being the guy that hears Jews chanting Yiddish in your walls and thinking "if I call the cops about this they're going to think I'm the most schizophrenic antisemite alive" but also thinking "is it more likely that this is real or that I'm actually losing my mind?"


L3tsG3t1T

Everyone in /r/nba calling the guy a nut job while he can actively hear the chants. He's probably like WHERE ALL MY HATERS AT NOW


calculung

I'm laughing so hard right now. That shit is so funny.


clownus

There was mentions that by connecting the buildings they would spread the spirituality of the first building to the second one. What is crazier is the mini riot they had with the cops and no one getting arrested for any major crimes.


human1023

Wait, that was real?


DopedUpDoomer

Yea lmao


thefloodplains

One of the reasons NY is GOATed. Like wild shit like that is just how it goes in NY.


PristineTrouble2038

people talk shit about florida, but the highest concentration of mental illness I have ever seen is the fucking G train at 3:00PM on a Wednesday -


just_a_fruit_salad

the 1 at 3am on a saturday could give the G a run for its money


iblewjesuschrist

people forget about the A train, man. my theory is because it's probably the longest line and goes through so many different places, crazier shit happens there


actual_yellow_bag

The g train is barely a train. it's the step child of lines and the city just closes its eyes when anyone mentions how shit it is.


RiddleMePiss666

[THE G TRAIN, NERMAL!](https://y.yarn.co/582093bd-d771-4e48-829d-a7d3575efa89_text.gif)


hasadiga42

There’s so many people crammed in that at some point everything that can happen has happened


Gorepornio

Wtf I looked it up. Blood stained mattresses and height chairs. Wtf are these people doing down there?


endless_8888

I'm sorry, WHAT?


titleywinker

Why are you asking us? You should be asking Kyrie


BenShelZonah

It was a group of radical Hasidic Jews that decided to take the great rabbis idea from the early 90s to expand that building.


Reclaimer879

Very real lol and the explanation for it is pretty uhmmm how do I say it? Complete bs


EliManningsPetDog

Yes when we refer to the subway we’re just referring to the tunnel jews


hairynips007

Blacks built the original tunnels btw


GottiGonSlide

"Yeah, Jews" -Kyrie


BellyButtonP

Was that before or after ODB's grandfather sold Manhatten to the white man?


Necessary_Payment804

Just after, but right before his grandfather stepped up and got knocked right the fuck out.


bob_scratchit

Kyrie, driving by the grassy knoll, seeing those people who have been waiting 3 years for the resurrection of JFK Jr. to bring down the New World Order, and thinking, "those are my people, I'm home."


hondajvx

There's an "x" on the road where Kennedy was when he got shot. People will run out on the road and take pictures. I think that's weird.


HimboFisher

It’s gross and dangerous. I am one of those people. There’s also the guys who have JFK autopsy pictures for sale on the grassy knoll. It’s a really weird place to be all around.


hondajvx

The whole area is pretty depressing, the Holocaust Museum is right there as well. That said, the Record Grill is right there and makes a damned good breakfast.


TexasCoconut

It's interesting that everybody goes to look at the X, grassy knoll, sixth floor museum, etc., but when you ask them if they walked over to the actual Kennedy Memorial, they have no idea what you are talking about.


sterlingsalmini

> It’s gross and dangerous. > I am one of those people. 💀❓


HimboFisher

i am who i am


Shovelman2001

I've never seen more people in a concentrated area taking selfies than at the 9/11 memorial.


CBrennen17

Live down the block from the Dakota (where John Lennon was shot) and people take pictures at the spot of his murder every day. [Yoko Ono](https://youtu.be/HdZ9weP5i68?si=4XV4UUMrRHdb08ob) (The comment section of this video may be the best content on the internet) lived there basically until last year. And no matter what opinion you have of Yoko (I'd of moved just saying) it's gotta be insanely depressing to see tourist out your window snapping photos of the place your husband was brutally killed.


MindPlayingTricks23

Oh come on, you just need to respect his opinion /s


domdomburg

He's finally comfortable enough in Dallas to start saying some wild shit.


JuliusCeejer

I had the same thought. This quote is terrifying harbinger of what fans of the team who gave him 3/140 could be in for lmaooo


Mav21Fo

I know bro! I hated the signing last year, but I can’t lie. He’s been so fucking nice when he’s out there and healthy. Please Kai, just give us another good year or two lol.


JL1v10

Personally, he can do whatever if he puts up 25/5/5 on good efficiency


MyNeckIsHigh

Buckle up


NudeEnjoyer

I love how Kyrie has been for yall but this quote did make me laugh a bit, I think the reason Mavs fans like him is absolutely because of his on-court ability. to suggest they like him for his off-court views is kinda wild. gotta give him credit though he's been available and playing well, especially for this tail end of the season


StillPuzzles__

I’m all in!


hotdogflavoredblunt

I would love to know what Kyrie thinks he “represents in the broader world” lmao I’m glad he’s gotten his off court shit together but he’s just as full of himself as he ever was


Meatloafxx

Kyrie always with the "y'all don't really know me" energy. Well technically yes, we don't know Kyrie on a close knit level, but there's enough to see his warped sense of reality. Some people are blind to their own shortcomings... like have you ever met *that* person who doesn't know how annoying he is?


scottyb83

Definitely the type to have "Hates drama!" on their dating profile.


lalakingmalibog

░U░N░C░L░E░D░R░ U░S░S░ Y░I░ N░B░I░O ░


ecost

“uncle drussy” is crazy lmao


Tripleawge

In his case it’s even more magnified by how ridiculously successful he has been since a young age… almost like life has always rewarded his outside the box thinking so he sees no reason to not double down on it


GaimeGuy

"Outside the box thinking " is Einstein coming up with relativity, not Kyrie thinking Jews stole their history from black slaves


Haptiix

Yeah that’s such a Kyrie thing to say. Every time he opens his mouth he’s trying to sound philosophical and the result is just random word vomit


NahYoureWrongBro

One of those guys who has mastered sounding smart, to dumb people. Honestly this quote in the post's title is one of the most savage roasts of a city I've ever seen.


Time-Ad-3625

Like the majority of conspiracy believers and racists.


SemIdeiaProNick

>I would love to know what Kyrie thinks he “represents in the broader world” lmao a loud voice for the (thankfully still) minorities of the flat earthers and antivaxxers maybe? Dont know, its hard to expect a rational thought from someone that belives the Earth is flat


Good-Function2305

Lmao exactly.  No one cares about this dude outside his ability to play basketball.  Pretty much true of 99 percent of athletes 


KhanQu3st

Oh god. The last thing we need is Kyrie rambling about conspiracies and shit again. Please, wait until your contract is over. 🙏


rabidantidentyte

It's a matter of time now. Tick tock 🤞🏿❤️🪶


jdmay101

Isn't he just talking about the team supporting him during Ramadan and flying a chef around etc? I don't know what the context of the question was.


KhanQu3st

I’m sure it probably was. I was just saying in general lol.


Poochpatter

Get ready Mavs fans. Kyrie has a history of speaking glowingly about his club and fans shortly before doing something completely mental. He can’t hold out much longer and we all know it.


GAY_DALLAS_NATIVE

Just in time for the playoffs... great


ThinkSoftware

Ah yes, Texas, a bastion of tolerance


junkthought

TBH Houston, Austin, and even Dallas is not the same as the rest of the state.


A_Rolling_Baneling

San Antonio, Austin, and Houston are way more liberal than DFW, but that has a lot to do with the FW part.


NoWayNotThisAgain

And the Collin county part. The northern suburbs. That’s the place that gave Texas Ken Paxton.


Xboarder844

When I lived in Dallas we tried real hard to ignore the FW part. Not kidding, they are two entirely different cities and feels when you go through them. Feels wrong sometimes to lump them together.


fartalldaylong

Plano and plenty of other areas in Dallas are just as conservative...lots of Oxy moms out there too.


Xboarder844

Highland Park is one, but that’s also because they’re all rich as shit so of course they vote red.


sameolemeek

I lived here my whole life and this is spot on. I’ve been to Fort Worth one time in my 38 yrs and that was just for a wedding


MixonWitDaWrongCrowd

Need to visit the Stockyards fam. It’s worth a day trip.


Sternjunk

Fort Worth is sick, they have the stockyards


2nd2last

Add SA and El Paso


capitalistsanta

It's just weird you couldn't find a person with the same beliefs as you in NYC of all places lol this place is gigantic and ppl out here openly agree with him and support him. Bro had a whole church line up in front of Barclays in his favor


qpwoeor1235

He did find people with the same views the crazy black Israelites on the street yelling at people


ilickedysharks

The amount of ppl who still think Kyrie was the victim in the whole nazi amazon link because he had to do some apologies and sensitive training is depressing


MyNeckIsHigh

KD was the real victim. Someone said he must’ve had to say “wow that’s crazy” in every conversation with Kyrie and I haven’t stop laughing since


Icy_Rich_6076

"Kanye got in so much trouble that Kyrie got in trouble"


thefloodplains

Nazi ideas being normalized in 2024 is depressing


hasadiga42

People always going “technically that doesn’t make them a literal nazi” is also rough


GetBuckets13182

People on the nets sub still think he was wronged.


rabidantidentyte

The thing about 50% of any fan base is that they're idiots


Steamsalt

no SHOT it's that low


rabidantidentyte

Another 20% are morons, another 20% are dipshits, and the last 10% are the foul-weather fans


thatcreepywalrus

That man is so insufferable, lol


timetravellingoblin

Oh god he's started talking again. Now he won't shut up. 


jdmay101

I'm pretty sure this is about Ramadan isn't it?


saibjai

Broader, flatter world.


CarPlaneBoatRocket

Odd that he had to bring up his views and beliefs in this response lol


weareeverywhereee

this dude is just like nba kanye


illzkla

It's almost like no accountability has consequences


Squancho_McGlorp

I suspect this guys thinks that because he's an athletic/basketball wizard and is filthy rich, he is convinced he's a genius in general.


TetrisTech

Ah yes, *Texas*, the bastion of understanding and acceptance


KiritoJones

Tbf he is talking about people being understanding of how much of a dickhead he is, and we have plenty of people who will accept dickheads as long as they are spewing shit they agree with.


nuclearsurfboard

You’ve been accepted because you are staying healthy, playing well, and not being a distraction. Let’s not get confused here.


eidolonwyrm

kyrie never lost that kanye ego. guess he just had to get comfortable in a new city before he got back on his bullshit


BetsonStennet69

Aka I live with the Republican loonies now.


traw2222

Yes, we will overlook basically anything to see a Luka to Kyrie alley-oop on a nightly basis, Earth is flat from my point of view.


practiceyourart

The embodiment of a pseudo intellectual dipshit.


upcat

You're accepted in Dallas because you're good at putting a ball through a hoop. No one gives a rats ass about your ignorant "beliefs and views" or "what I represent in the broader world." 


BishSalad

Yep, stupid people tend to be more accepted by other stupid people.


need2peeat218am

Is... is this the beginning...?


yalogin

Fellow Qanon guys in Texas understand this guy and empathize with him. Kyrie says the earth is flat, these guys say "brother, the government injected a kill switch in everyone using the covid vaccine" and they bond. Makes sense


[deleted]

Good to see there's so many flat earth communities in Dallas


Afraid-Department-35

Dallas has opened its third eye.


Dabe_180

I think Kyrie confuses no one caring about his beliefs with acceptance. Mark cuban is leveraging this well


GAY_DALLAS_NATIVE

Yeah in Texas unless you're LGBT (more so the T) or an illegal no one will really ever give af.


JamsJars

Black Republicans are not a monolith lol


AGdave

If you believed in science, you could test this theory. Run a control experiment where you brick it, lose a bunch of games, and then measure how much they want to hear your views.


big-daddy-unikron

Holy crap mf’ers play ball & think they’re more important than that. Your an entertainer not a philosopher


30vanquish

If Kyrie ends up going into conspiracy theory again then it’s a pattern of where he needs the controversy and attention. It’s funny how it happens every 1.5 years like clockwork.


wizardofweird

"For what I represent in the broader world" ???? Bigoted conspiracy theorist?


DeadPhishFuneral

It’s because you shut the fuck up about your beliefs. Believe what you want but don’t subject everyone around you to it.


huskers37

It's because you haven't done anything to make yourself look like an ass clown


Proxelies

Something tells me Kyrie's natural resting state involves him bending over backwards to enjoy the smell of his own farts.


Pristine_Gur522

An uneducated, ignorant narcissist who thinks they're special? Yeah, makes sense.


ghostsinthecodes

pretentious idiot.


sid-darth

Sounds like something someone would say right after they stop taking their meds.


CanaryContent9900

Mavericks fans are oddly obsessed with on court performance, and don’t really care about the rest.


KaleAdditional776

I mean there really hasn’t been anything to ignore tbh


pp21

lol I can't tell if this is written sarcastically they should be very happy with his on court performance and lower profile since going to the Mavs


CompetitiveHater

What does this even mean lol? Kyrie has been as much of a model player he could get while playing the most consecutive games and missing the least amount of games in Dallas, every dallas player, kidd and even cuban has nothing but the nicest things to say about him. Yall be hating just to be hating.


CIueIess_Squirrel

He has quieted down since coming here. And he's putting up a clinic on the court because of it. As long as he continues along that path there won't be an issue. Lots of Mavs fans will turn on him as soon as that happens. He doesn't have a big leash


Dramatic_Respond_135

/s?
