He may be an asshole, but in this case, he's being a good sport (entertainment).
Is Aaron Rogers the biggest asshole in sports ?

Indeed those are bigger assholes. But on the court/field/ice, its hard to find a bigger asshole currently playing in the big 4 American Sports than Kyrie Irving.What did Kyrie do to make you think he's the biggest asshole? there are bigger assholes behind the scenes...
He messed things up in Cleveland - and forced his way out when Lebron was still there.
Was a terrible locker room influence in Boston and they had little interest in bringing him back.
He was disappointing Brooklyn, asked for trades multiple times, bailed on his teammates for an entire season.
And in the controversies - the anti-semetic comments, the vaccine controversy (wheter you agree or disagree with mandates, his choice really f'd over his teammates), and other wackiness.
In terms of actual current athletes he is hard to beat.
Although in the NBA I will add Joel Embiid to the list.
In terms of post career antics (and end of playing career antics), Brett Favre is extremely hard to beat.
That's where I think asshole Roger's learned it from. These guys are paid a ridiculous amount of money to lead their teams and once they are past their prime they blame poor management and other players for their decline in play. No one player is ever bigger than the franchise no matter what they believe
Kyrie didn't fuck his teammates...these are professionals. you can't force someone via vaccine mandate...the anti semetic angle was over reaching....Ja Morant makes Kyrie look like a saint IMO.
I agree about Romo, guy couldn't win a big game if his life depended on it.
.Weren't there some games in which he could not play because he wasn't vaccinated?
If that was the case, it is undeniable that he fucked his teammates because the team was at a disadvantage without him.
No organization wants to keep him. He's a pain in the ass, AKA an asshole.
Terry Sawchuk was considered to be a difficult personality back in the day.
blasphemy, he may come off aloof but he has done some amazing things for kids off the field.
There was also an incident he called out a Islamphobe before the game end at the press conference.
The beef with his family is hard to explain though.
Some of the A-holes I can think of on top of my head:
Draymond
Farve: sexting and stealing welfare $ to build a volleyball court for his daughter's school
Kobe and Big Ben for rape charges
Bobby Petrino, if you include coaches

I guess you are defining asshole as being the most terrible guy / criminal. I think those can be different types of people. Kyrie fits "asshole" for me, but nowhere near the terrible guy / criminal category either.
As I laid out in my prior post, totally independent of the vaccine, he screwed his teammates in Cleveland - he screwed his teammates in Boston - and he screwed his teammates, GM and coaches in Brooklyn. And part of that is because Kyrie just thinks differently than others, can be selfish, rubs people the wrong way, and is at times over sensitive.
He has been a really bad teammate on several teams. You may think Kyrie is some free thinking martyr because of the vaccine stance (and that is fine), but his personnel issues existed long before that and after that.
There is a reason his trade value was not that good last year - teams are very apprehensive of him.
Ja Morant is an different case. He is going beyond the asshole issue into category into much darker realms. He was largely a model player coming into the NBA and in his first year/ And then in the last year or two he has completely went off the rails off the court, and doing selfish things that hurt his team. Hopefully he gets it together otherwise we are dealing with someone who is not in the just an asshole category, but a criminal.

Aaron Rodgers says Sean Payton's comments about Nathaniel Hackett "were very surprising" and out of character "for a coach to do that to another coach."

How is that fucking up your teammates? These are professionals...If you need one player to win games for you...you aint that good without him? Superstars miss games all the time. Heck they even do "load management" with stars just not playing without any reasons...
