We have allowed people who get paid billions to throw a ball through a hoop, to become this way.This is all on, sports fans.

No one makes billions of dollars to throw a ball through a hoop unless we consider "selling shoes" and "being in commercials" as some secondary included part of "throwing a ball through a hoop."
Nets now saying he won't be playing or practicing, home or away. Good for them. Do they still have to pay him?

At that time he will be 31 years old. He would have to find a team willing to pay him $50mil (your figure for a supermax contract which I honestly do not even think he qualifies for under the CBA) until age 47 to crack a billion.NBA salaries are exploding and some dude who is an All-Pro player at age 21 and goes on to have a LeBron-esque career will at some point make a billion in on-the-court earnings (Luka Doncic if I had to guess someone specifically) but it ain't going to be an already getting-worse Kyrie Irving.
I’m not saying Kyrie is wrong (still doing the research for myself) but couldn’t all his fears be accomplished just by tracking his iPhone, online presence etc.? Does avoiding getting microchipped like the rest of us even solve the problem?

We have allowed people who get paid many millions to throw a ball through a hoop, to become this way.This is all on, sports fans.

That money corrupts in general, full stop? Or basketball players in particular are unworthy of making millions? Or that if commas were rainbows we’d all have a unicorn. Look I’m a smart dude but I understand one does not dissect gossamer and nothing is more gossamer than the meaning of what comes out of the Walkman’s mouth.
