Obviously this is a bs excuse, I'm going to humor him for a bit.

Seems like he is saying he is more concerned with people losing jobs over people losing lives.

I believe they did that already. I think they took that road and it lead here. The season starts next week. He has had plenty of time. They were supportive up until now.

I mean, if I looked around and was surrounded by flat earthers and loons, I’d start to rethink if maybe I’m on the wrong side.

I often wonder this

Preach. Even if you are someone who generally distrusts the Covid vaccine I don’t know why anyone would attach himself to Kyrie as a representative of their cause. Between the flat-earth beliefs he proudly asserted, his JFK assassination conspiracy theories, and his energy cleansing sage burning rituals, he’s proven himself to be a bit of nut job. Yet some people see him as some kind of modern-day civil rights leader.

I think he has a mental condition that hasn’t been diagnosed. Just my opinion but he’s real out there.

First time in my life I support Kyrie. Vax should be a choice, not a mandate.

Tbf, he is right. Ultimately it is his decision. Is it something to stake the prime of your career and roughly 200 million on? For the majority of us, it isn't. But Kyrie is in a better financial position than we are, so maybe this is the hill he dies on (metaphorically).

Translation: “it’s not about being anti-vax, it’s about me being a narcissistic attention whore.”

Hasn’t he been proving this for years now?

Did any of y’all actually watch Kyrie when he was live on IG or are y’all just reading what reporters are saying on Twitter?

If you disagree with Kyrie on what he said then you’re on the wrong side of history

Jesus Christ this guy is dense. People aren’t losing their jobs because of mandates. People are choosing not to work a particular job because they don’t want to comply with work requirements.

What do you mean exactly though? People are losing jobs. One hospital near me fired half the nursing staff because they didn't comply with the vaccine mandate and chose not to get vaccinated.

Last I saw I think it’s just the vaccine mandated cities games he won’t get paid (which are mostly the home games).

No blame on Kyrie. He should enjoy his life. It is obvious his heart is not in basketball. Let the dude enjoy his retirement

As a nets fan I’ll just say this. I never wanted Irving but he was necessary to get us Durant. Now that Durant has signed his extension I say let Irving go. So far he has been nothing but problem after problem. Injured for most of his first season and then said the nets need major upgrades to win. While his teammates went out there and got them to the playoffs without him and Durant. Last year he sat out for personal reasons and went to his sisters birthday party during that time and had to be placed in protocols because he went without a mask. Now this. I say get rid of him anyway they can. He’s a cancer. Harden and Durant with the role players are enough.

In New York you have to be vaccinated to play. In some other states you do not. Why don't they just trade Kyrie to a team that plays where there are not the requirements New York has?

I support Kyrie to a point, but if it is true he is going to the next step and will just retire if the Nets trade him, than he is a real POS. There are options out there for Kyrie to play. Jonathan Isaacs isn't vaccinated and will play for the Magic this season. I'm sure at this point the Nets would love Jalen Suggs and a few picks for Kyrie.

Half these people didn’t even watch when he was live on Instagram. They still yelling things about retirement and stuff like that when he addressed all that in his live video.

lol okay buddy, what hospital had HALF of their nurses refuse to get vaccinated? Please prove that 50% of nurses at your local hospital wouldn't get the covid vaccine.

I wholeheartedly agree. Kyrie has found reasons to be a major distraction and miss games for several seasons now. He cares more about his causes than his teammates; so, retire and commit all of your time to your causes.

Will Kyrie play this season?
