Breaking: Dallas Mavericks All-Star Kyrie Irving has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee, per @ShamsCharania

Dear Kyrie Irving, It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today, as I have seen your game being affected by the various distractions and worldly matters that you seem to be grappling with. I am not Jewish, but as a basketball fan, I want to see you succeed and reach your full potential as one of the best players in the league. Your gift is undeniable, Kyrie, and it breaks my heart to see you not utilizing it to its full extent. Speaking of your gift, let's talk about your on-court accomplishments. Do you remember your game-winning shot in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors? That was an unforgettable moment in NBA history, solidifying your place as one of the clutch players in the game. That was just one of the many highlights of your career, including your 6 All-Star appearances, 5 All-NBA selections, and your career average of 22.4 points, 5.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. You have had great role models in the past, with Kevin Durant serving as a kind of older brother figure and LeBron James as a father figure. However, I believe it is time for you to take on a new role model, someone who can be a friend in the game. Someone like Luka Dončić, who has a true passion for the sport and plays the game with integrity. It is not the time to be talking about Jewish people, just as it is not the time to be talking about the other distractions that are constantly on your mind. You are not like Kanye West, who is known for his outbursts and controversial statements. Instead, you have a tendency to be introspective and contemplative, which is not a bad thing in and of itself. But it is imperative that you channel this introspection and contemplation into your game, focusing on what you are truly capable of. You have the potential to be so much more than just a basketball player. Your talent and gift could take you far in life, beyond the court. In the future, you could run for governor or even president. But first, it is time for you to sign that contract extension and get back to doing what you do best: getting buckets. The philosopher Aristotle once said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Kyrie, it is time to make getting buckets a habit, to make excellence a part of who you are. You have the potential to be the greatest of all time, and I implore you not to let this opportunity slip through your fingers. It is time for you to take the leap, to put your focus in one area of life and let your gift shine. The possibilities are endless, whether you end up becoming a salamander or somewhere sunny like a banana. French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said, "Man is condemned to be free." Kyrie, you are condemned to be free, and it is up to you to make the most of this freedom. To choose your path and make the most of your gift. To focus on your game and be the best. As a basketball fan, I want to see you reach your full potential, to see you play the game with passion, integrity, and an unwavering focus. I want to see you be the best, and I believe that you have it in you to be the best. You have the potential to change the game, to inspire future generations of basketball players, and to leave a lasting legacy in the sport. You have the potential to be a leader on and off the court, to be someone that people look up to forever. And let us not forget the main theme of the Black Israelites, which is about embracing your heritage and identity, and using that as a source of strength and motivation. You, Kyrie, have a unique background, one that has shaped who you are and has made you the player that you are today. Embrace it, use it to your advantage, and let it drive you to new heights in the game of basketball. Your career statistics speak for themselves. Your career average of 22.4 points per game, along with your 5.7 assists per game, are just a few examples of the type of impact you can have on the game. Your ability to create scoring opportunities for yourself and your teammates, along with your impressive shooting from beyond the arc, are just a few of the things that make you one of the most dynamic players in the league. So, my dear Kyrie, I implore you once again to embrace your gift, focus on your game, and be the best. The world is waiting for you to take your place among the greats, and I have no doubt that you have what it takes to make a lasting impact on the sport of basketball. Sincerely, Camash15
