Kyrie Irving is an NBA champion, NBA All-Star Game MVP, and maybe the best dribbler in basketball history.
There's something he isn't as good at as most of his teammates though:
Getting vaccinated.
Irving sat out a decent portion of the 2021 - 2022 NBA season, including ALL home games held in his Brooklyn Nets' home state of New York during the regular season. That was because New York had a rule not allowing anyone into public buildings without proof of the jab.
Recognizing it was important to the team, New York City allowed Irving to work without the vaccine once the playoffs rolled around.
Now, Irving is speaking out about the whole ordeal:
If I can work and be unvaccinated, then all of my brothers and sisters who are also unvaccinated should be able to do the same, without being discriminated against, vilified, or fired. ♾🤞🏾
This enforced Vaccine/Pandemic is one the biggest violations of HUMAN RIGHTS in history.
