Kyrie Irving has played a grand total of zero (0) NBA games this season. He refused to get vaccinated for reasons even Kyrie has not been able to properly articulate and unfortunately for him, New York City has forbidden citizens from entering buildings without their vaccine card.
On one hand, it sucks that Kyrie plays in New York because there are plenty of guys who aren’t vaccinated this season but can play freely every night because they play in a state that doesn’t give a shit if their residents die from a global pandemic that has taken the lives of a million Americans.
On the other hand, just getting the fucking medicine you loser. There is no philosophical or religious reason to be against vaccines. Kyrie Irving has gone through several invasive surgeries in his career. He trusts doctors and the medical field enough to open up his body and re-attach shit but the idea of getting a shot is suddenly out of bounds. I can’t stress enough how big of losers these anti-vax people are.
But it’s flu season which means everyone and their mothers are getting sick including NBA players as the Brooklyn Nets have been drowning in positive Covid tests. They’ve had to break glass in case of emergency.

Let’s gooooo. Kyrie BACK babyyyyy.
One of the most electric players in NBA history is coming to save the Brooklyn Nets as James Harden looks like he’s playing with a weighted jersey and hot melting tar at the bottom of his sneakers. James Harden is playing like his girlfriend texts him ‘we need to talk.’ 5 minutes before the opening tip every night.
Kyrie’s game is beautiful to watch. His finger-roll layups look like they are leaving his hands and being carried by basketball angels into the rim. His crossovers are like NBA 2K video game characters in that they are never sloppy and have been programmed by an algorithm to always make his defenders look as if they’re middle-aged men getting to play real-life NBA players in some overly-expensive fantasy camp for yacht rock dads who are actively going through a messy divorce with their blonde former playboy model wives.
Nets star Kyrie Irving has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Andddd it’s over.
Shockingly, the guy who hasn’t been vaccinated has caught Covid during a time in New York where every other person is dry coughing and rubbing their snotty sleeves on subway poles all day every day. New York has recently reinstated their mandatory indoor mask policies as its Covid numbers have grown through the roof.
The NBA season should probably be postponed.
There are games where G-leaguers are getting major minutes and if a team misses the playoffs by a game or two, it will be impossible not to look back at December when the team owner’s wheelchair-bound son had to go out there and play 25 minutes because the entire bench is at home shivering and sweating with Coronavirus backstroking through their bloodstreams.
Kyrie should also be vaccinated. Both things are true.
We shall continue waiting for the return of Uncle Drew. In the meantime, enjoy watching James Harden play like he’s hungover from 3am tequila shots with the 7th best looking girl at the bar.
