Covid impacted everything and everyone, no question. But Kyrie's handling of this has been unlike anyone else's in sports, which is somehow not all that surprising considering it's him. He's an amazing player, but I've said often that he's "just a different dude," and I was never sure that b'ball is really all that important to him. And that's not a slight against him, he's not obligated to care about a sport as much as you or I do, but that's also why I was hesitant to go all in on him and the Nets. That was always part of it for me, him (and to a lesser extent Harden) being different dudes, KD's ultra-sensitivity, etc. Throw in their injury history, and I always felt there was too much opportunity for something to happen before they made it to the finish line.
But as I said, still surprised at this ending w/ Harden. I literally just googled to find out WHY Harden wants out so bad, and I can't find nuthin. Have you heard or has it been reported elsewhere? Everything they want still there for the taking, and he wants out?? 1 year later? Has to be something going on there. Crazy.
