The league obviously can't openly discuss his personal situation, but my unprofessional personal opinion is that from everything I've seen I suspect he's bipolar. When he's on, he's terrific. When he's off, he's in a completely different world often detached from reality.
Speaking solely as one human being to another, I wish Kyrie nothing but the best and want him to be happy. That could mean taking a break from basketball and focusing on himself, or proving me wrong and finding happiness on the court. But that status quo doesn't seem to be working, so something has to change.
You might be right about the bipolar thing. If not that, then there's certainly something abnormal going on with him.
I think what rubs fans the wrong way is that no matter what he says or does, what makes him different almost always comes across as entitled. Clueless. Completely detached from the reality of how fortunate he is to be in the situation he's in and the lifestyle that comes with it. Mix in the fact that we're living in a time when paradigms of how college and pro athletes are expected to comport themselves are being challenged, and it's a perfect storm of bizarre.
