Kyrie Irving has been one of the leaders pushing back against the NBA season restart and it seems he has more ideas for NBA players.
For the past week, Kyrie has been advocating for players to sit out the NBA season because he doesn’t believe games should be played during the current social unrest in the country.
Sources: Kyrie Irving led a call of 80-plus NBA players, including Chris Paul/Kevin Durant/Carmelo Anthony/Donovan Mitchell, and Irving and several players spoke up about not supporting resumed season due to nationwide unrest from social injustice/racism.

Don't know what's worst between Dinwiddie starting a GoFundMe for his next team or Kyrie proposing to start a new NBA league. Both of them need their ass beat. https://t.co/L41mT27bcB
