Hilarious that this BIG 3 didn't even last 1 year.

I appreciate Kyrie for participating in the cavs title, but I’m so tired of this guy acting like he’s bigger than life and the decisions he’s making are larger than basketball. It’s a joke it’s not like he’s doing **** to actually make a difference. Instead he’s being an entitled prick dude literally believes he’s some kind of genius. I’m ready for him to just go away.

Everyone predicted it. With KD, Kyrie, and Harden on your team it's just a matter of time till drama happens.

Nets with a fully healthy KD and Harden could still be the best team in the East record wise.

I mean they had a better record last year despite constant injuries.

Irving is not an impact player. He has proven it during his time in BOS and his 1st year in BRK. Despite being incredibly skilled, he is injury prone, and cannot run an offense. You can't win a title with him unless you have a legendary playmaking superstar like Lebron as your #1. They had to get Harden because of how bad Irving was at managing the game and getting others involved. I think this played a factor in the decision to sit him. I think people are more focused on the political impact because at the end of the day, the Nets still have 2 healthy former MVPs still playing at a high level and elite role players; they do not need Irving to win a title. Irving needs them.

Kinda funny seeing Lakers fans cheering for the Bucks to win the East.

I don't think Irving's absence is going to be as impactful as some may want to believe.
Especially now that the Nets have officially drawn the line.

He really went ahead and tied his legacy to this clown.

I'll never feel bad for KD, he made the most gutless move in the history of professional sports.

With that said the moment I saw it was Kyrie that was going to be his running mate in Brooklyn I knew he screwed up and was going to regret not going for a more dependable partner.

I have more faith in bubble gum sealing a leaky pipe than I do Kyrie Irving being a good teammate and acting like a professional.

The prediction was either injuries or boredom would derail this team. Who had vaccine hesitancy on their bingo card?

Good for Kyrie. I hope he doesn't cave but he most likely eventually will. I don't know why you guys are so bothered by someone else's decision.

You feel bad for a guy who could've hitched his wagon to anyone and purposely chose this idiot? He's lucky as hell JH fell into their laps, otherwise I could seem them be annual second round exits.

Wait a minute….the guy who has said “it’s personal” and refused to answer questions about why he isn’t vaccinated is now claiming he wants to be “the voice of the voiceless”? What a clown.

He's making it up as he goes along.

He's not caving. This is Kyrie we're talking about.

Good on him, by the way. Banning him is draconian and would be laughable if it wasn't so scary that this is where society has gone.

I will take him seriously when he starts forfeiting a few checks. He might miss a month or so but he isn't going to give up 8-figures.

If he wasn't anti-Vaxx, he would have already taken the vaccine long ago. Dude is trying to hide behind the whole mandate issue as an excuse not to take the vaccine.. BS.

Not to mention he was also liking posts about vaccines being a government conspiracy inspired by satan or some chit and all the crazy stuff he's done in the past. Kyrie's PR team must think an average person is as dumb as he is.

That's how the world works?

Somebody does something, doesn't do something, says something, doesn't say something, makes a plan, doesn't make a plan and then people react to those decisions. Sometimes the reactions are more vocal depending on how much the decision could effect others.

What you said is what an alien that just came here and is trying to pretend to be a human would say.

We're not alone people!

Yep. I was watching a recent video where that Trump lackey Sen. Lindsay Graham was doing a speech in front his local constituents and encouraged them to get vaccine and got booed the hell out. He asked what's their objection to vaccine to which they responded they're not against vaccines but government mandates. Like seriously, the mandates been around a month. What's your excuse for not getting the vaccine before the mandates came around? These people will keep shifting the goal post to deny taking the "mark of the beast".. idiots.

He will probably retire for now then come back ala La Marcus Aldridge when the restrictions ease up or when mandate is modified etc.

Whether or not you agree or disagree with his stance on the vaccine, Kyrie stands up for what he believes in, and doesn’t bow to public opinion.

He is a strong man like Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

Will Kyrie play this season?
