If he was as talented as Kyrie he would've never been out of a job. You can say and do plenty of awful things if your worth outweighs the cost. This dude actually seemed to go and learn and at least try to pretend to get better and more informed, but he's a bench player at best. Your ability and worth dictates how much people will deal with your bullshit. So just be good at things and you can believe whatever nonsense you want 🙂
