Powers that be just can't let Kyrie go on this

Hey when he said stuff we agree with he was brilliant but now we don't agree so he's a flat earther again

The NBA is going to save America by destroying the mandate.

The frustrating thing about a handful of Kyrie Irving’s polarizing views—about Earth being flat, for instance—is that they overshadow the fact that he’s been spot-on about other important points.

In May, before playing in front of a Boston crowd for the first time since leaving the Celtics, he told writers he hoped fans wouldn’t behave in a racist or belligerent manner. But then on that trip, a fan launched a water bottle at Irving’s head as the guard walked off the court following the contest.

Irving drew criticism from some corners during the height of the pandemic, too, when the NBPA's vice president reportedly supported the notion of punting on the rest of the suspended NBA season—and the idea of the bubble—after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer. His concerns included the idea that simply returning to business as usual, even in a bubble, might undercut the players’ ability to draw increased attention to the issues of systemic racism and police brutality against Black Americans.

The decision to not get vaccinated, when the science overwhelmingly suggests it leaves individuals and the population as a whole far safer that way, would be more comparable to the flat-Earth conspiracy theory that Irving fed into six years ago if not for the broader, more serious risks involved here. For as much as some people—and unfortunately a handful of NBA players—repeat that a person’s vaccination status is a personal issue, it’s also a public-health issue.

“I think there’s something to be said for people’s concern about something that’s being pressed so hard. Like, why are you pressing this so hard?” Draymond Green asked rhetorically Thursday, adding that he saw teammate Andrew Wiggins’s choice to remain unvaccinated—potentially leaving him unable to play in home games, due to San Francisco’s vaccine mandate for large indoor events—as a personal one.
