Irving may be delusional and a bit of a loon, but it's pretty amazing that anyone in this day and age could not agree with any person's freedom and right to decide what medical procedures to have done to their own body. Nuremberg Trials, anyone? Or is that not taught in history anymore?


The Nuremburg trials were about people not allowing someone to enter a building?

He can do whatever he wants, and can deal with how people react to doing what he wants. Seems like one of those consequences was Harden not wanting to be on his team anymore.


Comparing a vaccine mandate, which is intended to protect public health and save the lives of our most vulnerable populations, to prosecuting and executing men who committed crimes against humanity is some serious mental gymnastics.

We've been through all this, I've explained what I meant and admitted it was a terrible comp, and it's been dropped. Let's please move on and get back to hoops.

Kyrie Irving just high fived Lowry after the game while his team was in the midst of a 11 game losing streak. I think him and Simmons will get along just fine
