&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has raised &lt;strong&gt;plenty of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-rock-makes-fun-of-dumb-kyrie-irving-during-a-show-20211106-0004.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;controversy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;throughout his career in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; Regardless of his undeniable talent, people question whether basketball is his priority or if he's even worth the trouble.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; Brooklyn Nets&lt;/strong&gt; decided that they wouldn't allow him to be a part-time player and create a&amp;nbsp; further distraction, so he won't suit up for the team unless he abides by New York's vaccine mandate.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Nets&lt;/a&gt; have been clearly hurt by Irving's absence and are still trying to figure out things on the go, which is why &lt;strong&gt;ESPN's Stephen A. Smith&lt;/strong&gt; had a blunt message for him and his best friend, &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Durant.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Calls Kyrie Irving A Traitor And A Sad Excuse For A Professional&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Kevin Durant, I&rsquo;m sad for you bro,&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Smith said on First Take. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;You&rsquo;re all alone. You have no help. And more importantly than anything else, you made the wrong decision by going to Brooklyn. Kyrie Irving betrayed you! Flat out betrayed you&hellip; &lt;/strong&gt;and while you&rsquo;re sitting up there getting your ass kicked last night &ndash; Steph Curry shimmying and joking around, laughing on the court&hellip;Kyrie Irving can&rsquo;t be trusted. &lt;strong&gt;I actually hope Kyrie Irving gets cut.&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Smith went out to say that Irving is &lt;strong&gt;an entitled sad excuse for a professional &lt;/strong&gt;who thinks he's above the rest of people. He kept on calling him a traitor and called him out for the way he's handled all this situation:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Each and every single time he thinks about himself and he left his boy hanging.&lt;strong&gt; KD came to Brooklyn because of Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving has betrayed KD, he has betrayed basketball fans with these continual excuses for his absence, he has betrayed his teammates, he's betrayed the NBA game&lt;/strong&gt;. He is a superstar, a showstopper, must-see television, must-see in person, he's that much of a genius of a basketball player. He don't give a damn about that. We're beneath him. He's *here* the rest of us are *here.* We're not on his level, we can't think like him,&quot; &lt;/em&gt;Smith concluded.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While Smith's words must always be taken with a grain of salt, there's some truth to them this time. Regardless of his beliefs,&lt;strong&gt; he did leave his best friend and teammate hanging,&lt;/strong&gt; and it could wound up hurting KD's legacy down the line.&lt;/p&gt;

Kyrie Irving is 'a sad excuse for a professional and a traitor,' says ESPN analyst

&lt;p&gt;Throughout his career, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has been one of the&lt;strong&gt; most pointed-at-players in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; star isn't afraid to speak his mind or choose his own route, which often doesn't sit well with the public eye.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This time, the controversial star has been in the eye of the storm for &lt;strong&gt;his refusal&amp;nbsp;to get the COVID-19 vaccine&lt;/strong&gt;. Per Kyrie, he's not an anti-vaxxer but won't cave in to any kind of mandate. He wants to be the voice of the voiceless.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Whether you agree with him or not, one thing's for sure: He'll stand by his word. That's why former &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/golden-state-warriors-t101550&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Golden State Warriors&lt;/a&gt; star Al Harrington&lt;/strong&gt; recently said that he's fully supportive of him and everything he does.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Former NBA Player Al Harrington Says He Fully Supports Kyrie Irving&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;The kid is unbelievable. Whenever people need anything he is like the first one there. You know writing a cheque,&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Harrington said on Gilbert Arenas' 'No Chill Gil' Podcast.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;I support Kyrie. I support everything he&rsquo;s about.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Kyrie is just on a journey finding himself. Nothing&rsquo;s wrong with that. It just happens to be in the public eye while he&rsquo;s doing it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,&quot; Harrington added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;He loves the hoop. That&rsquo;s his craft. He hoops 7-8 hours a day, we discredit that. These media personalities, they kill you. And then when you come back it&rsquo;s all good.&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Right or wrong, you have the right to make a decision. Kyrie &lt;strong&gt;shouldn't be crucified for that,&lt;/strong&gt; regardless of how we feel about how smart or on-point his decision was. He's dealing with the consequences of that choice.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Even so, Brooklyn Nets fans&lt;strong&gt; aren't likely to forget about this any time soon&lt;/strong&gt; and it's unlikely that they'll welcome him with open arms when he's given the chance to suit up for the franchise again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Former Warriors star says he fully supports Kyrie Irving

&lt;p&gt;Even if you&rsquo;re not a fan of&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; as a person, no one can deny that he&rsquo;s one of the &lt;strong&gt;best scorers in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt;&rsquo;&lt;/strong&gt; championship aspirations took a big hit when they announced that they won&rsquo;t allow him to play this season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Nets will hold his pay for all the games he misses due to ineligibility. Moreover, they also reportedly backed down on offering him &lt;strong&gt;a 4-year, $187 million contract &lt;/strong&gt;extension as a result of his lack of commitment to the team.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, that has also fueled plenty of &lt;strong&gt;speculation about a potential Kyrie Irving trade.&lt;/strong&gt; And, even despite his antics and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-true-reason-why-kyrie-irving-wont-get-the-vaccine-and-lose-over-200-million-20211016-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;controversial&lt;/a&gt; nature, there&rsquo;s still some interest in his services around the league.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;NBA Rumors: Kyrie Irving Is Still Driving Some Trade Interest Around The League&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Multiple teams continue reaching out to the Nets regarding a potential Kyrie Irving trade. Brooklyn however, is &ldquo;clearly sitting tight&rdquo; right now, as one WC executive tells me. In other words, even if the Nets were to move Irving, it wouldn&rsquo;t be anytime soon,&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; reported Jordan Schultz.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That also confirms an earlier report from &lt;strong&gt;ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski.&lt;/strong&gt; Per Woj, the Nets are fielding calls for the former NBA Champion, albeit the rumors of a swap for Ben Simmons are unrealistic:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Daryl Morey has called all over the league, talked to teams about star players everywhere, trying to find a deal for Ben Simmons. One team he has not called I'm told is the Brooklyn Nets. He has not lobbed a call to Sean Marks, their GM about Kyrie Irving. Brooklyn I'm told has taken incoming calls from teams on Kyrie Irving, but they have not themselves made any calls about Irving. Brooklyn and Philadelphia with these two players in limbo, they have not talked to each other about a Simmons for Kyrie Irving trade,&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; said Wojnarowski.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Kyrie is incredibly talented but it seems like basketball hasn&rsquo;t been a priority for him for quite some time now, and that&rsquo;s perfectly fine. So, it wouldn&rsquo;t be shocking to see the Nets try and &lt;strong&gt;get rid of him and his big contract rather sooner than later.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

NBA Rumors: Teams are still trying to trade for Kyrie Irving

&lt;p&gt;It&rsquo;s safe to say that&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has always been a bit of &lt;strong&gt;a polarizing figure&lt;/strong&gt; around the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Some love him, some hate him, and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;apparently think he&rsquo;s too much of a distraction right now.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Irving has become famous even among&lt;strong&gt; non-basketball fans.&lt;/strong&gt; His stance against COVID-19 vaccine mandates has made him a bit of a hero for some, while others think he&rsquo;s just&hellip; not too smart.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That&rsquo;s the case with world-famous comedian &lt;strong&gt;Chris Rock,&lt;/strong&gt; who took a huge shot at the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA champion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; during his most recent show in Brooklyn. Unsurprisingly,&lt;strong&gt; he doesn&rsquo;t really care about anti-vaxxers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Chris Rock Calls Anti-Vaxxers &ldquo;Dumb Kyrie&rsquo;s&rdquo;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;If anyone was unclear about how Chris Rock feels about anti-vaxxers, attend one of his standup shows, and you&rsquo;ll get an answer. TMZ reports that he took aim at ridiculous anti-vaxxers, specifically Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, during a Wednesday concert in New York featuring several bands and comedians. Posing a question to the crowd, he said: &lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s my anti-vaxxers at?&lt;/strong&gt;&rdquo; Though New York City&rsquo;s vaccine mandate requires those who attend shows to have gotten the jab, some people in the audience cheered, to which Rock responded: &lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;You dumb, Kyrie motherf*cker!&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; reported The Daily Beast.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Nets won&rsquo;t allow Kyrie to partake in team activities until he decides to get vaccinated or the city lifts the mandate for unvaccinated athletes. So, there&rsquo;s still &lt;strong&gt;a slight chance that we get to see him play this season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The team reportedly backed down on offering him a 4-year, $187 million contract extension because of his constant antics and how often he&rsquo;s missing playing time. It takes a lot of character to give up that much money, whether you agree with him or not. But something tells me &lt;strong&gt;we still haven&rsquo;t heard the last of this story.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Chris Rock makes fun of 'dumb' Kyrie Irving during a show

&lt;p&gt;When it comes to controversial figures in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; chances are that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt; superstar &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; sits at the top of that list. He's outspoken and will never doubt to engage in uncomfortable conversations.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That has made him a popular and polarizing figure all over the world, even for non-sports fans. Half of the planet doesn't even know how good of a basketball player he is due to his recent comments and activity.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest reasons why so many people support him nowadays is for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-true-reason-why-kyrie-irving-wont-get-the-vaccine-and-lose-over-200-million-20211016-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;giving up a lot of money&lt;/a&gt; for his beliefs. But, how much is &quot;a lot of money&quot; and how much money has he made throughout his career? &lt;strong&gt;Let's break it down.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;div class=&quot;ck-youtube&quot; id=&quot;youtube-98&quot; style=&quot;display: inline-block;&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;iframe allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;411&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/_tPotwFeYS8&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; width=&quot;730&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item first&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item second&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Kyrie Irving's Contract: How Much Does He Make?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Kyrie Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season. He signed a&lt;strong&gt; 4-year, $136,490,600 &lt;/strong&gt;contract with an average salary of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$34,122,650 &lt;/strong&gt;per year. His contract is fully guaranteed and he was eligible for an incentive bonus worth&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$412,500&lt;/strong&gt; for this season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Irving made&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$31,742,000 &lt;/strong&gt;during his first season with the Nets, then that number would go up every year to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$33,329,100;&amp;nbsp;$34,916,200; and&amp;nbsp;$36,503,300&lt;/strong&gt; for the final year of his contract in 2023. Then, he'll become an unrestricted free agent, as the Nets reportedly don't want to offer him a contract extension.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;For this season, Irving's&amp;nbsp;$34,916,200 salary would translate to a &lt;strong&gt;$671,465 weekly salary&lt;/strong&gt;. That's &lt;strong&gt;$95,660 per day, $3,985 per hour, $66 per minute or $1.1 per second&lt;/strong&gt;. If we were to divide it by games played, that's &lt;strong&gt;$425,807 per game.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;How Much Money Could Kyrie Irving Lose If He Doesn't Play This Season?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Brooklyn Nets won't pay Kyrie Irving for all the games he misses this season due to his ineligibility. The Nets have 41 home games and will meet the New York Knicks twice at Madison Square Garden this season, &lt;strong&gt;meaning he'll forfeit 43 game checks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;For those of you who don't want to do the math, that means that Irving will give up &lt;strong&gt;$18,309,714.6&lt;/strong&gt; this season for refusing to get vaccinated. That, plus the &lt;strong&gt;$187 million&lt;/strong&gt; contract extension the Nets were eager to offer him.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;How Much Has Kyrie Earned In His NBA Career?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Even so, it's not like Kyrie will struggle to get by. He's made plenty of cash throughout his 10-year career in the Association. Thus far, he's earned&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$193,211,049 &lt;/strong&gt;in the NBA alone and he's landed plenty of lucrative endorsements as well.&lt;/p&gt;

Kyrie Irving's contract with Brooklyn Nets: Salary per game, week and year

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; made a personal choice, one that wouldn't allow him to play at Barclays Center this &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; season. That&lt;strong&gt; forced the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt; to make a choice of their own &lt;/strong&gt;and not allow him to be a part of the team until further notice.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That seemed to be the end of the story. The Nets would find a way to win without him and he'd sit out through the season unless he took the vaccine. But an interesting turn of events &lt;strong&gt;might as well change that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Now that &lt;strong&gt;Mayor-elect Eric Adams&lt;/strong&gt; has stated that he'll revisit the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, there's a slight chance that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kevin-durant-t139314&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kevin Durant&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-harden-t120183&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Harden&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;could get more help at some point in the season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;NBA Rumors: Kyrie Irving Could Play This Season&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Mayor-elect Eric Adams vowed to &ldquo;revisit&rdquo; the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for municipal workers when he takes office and reach a &ldquo;resolution&rdquo; on the matter, as he took an election victory lap Wednesday morning,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&quot; reported The New York Post.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;span data-src=&quot;/usa/contenidos/2021/11/03/noticia_0031.html&quot; data-type=&quot;news&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;div id=&quot;relatedNews-62&quot;&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;But, Do Nets Executives Want Kyrie?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The biggest question is &lt;strong&gt;whether the Nets want Kyrie back on the team.&lt;/strong&gt; The obvious answer would be yes, especially with their titles' hopes at stake. But they did backpedal on offering him a contract extension and claimed that he wasn't as committed as the team as other players:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Transcript via Brooklyn Nets)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Given the evolving nature of the situation and after thorough deliberation, &lt;strong&gt;we have decided&amp;nbsp;Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose. Currently, the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team, &lt;strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is imperative that we continue to build chemistry as a team and remain true to our long-established values of togetherness and sacrifice.&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Our championship goals for the season have not changed, and to achieve these goals each member of our organization must pull in the same direction.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;We are excited for the start of the season and look forward to a successful campaign that will make the borough of Brooklyn proud.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Maybe this could also work if they were to trade Kyrie while they still can. Whether this will happen or not is yet to be seen but at least, this could give the franchise o&lt;strong&gt;ptions they don't currently have.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Kyrie Irving's situation with the Nets gets a major twist

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;has stood his ground regarding coronavirus vaccines by taking to social media and putting his point of view out there. &lt;strong&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt; star even had to reiterate that he was not retiring&lt;/strong&gt;, but simply does not want to get vaccinated as a&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-true-reason-why-kyrie-irving-wont-get-the-vaccine-and-lose-over-200-million-20211016-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; personal choice&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even NBA Commissioner &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-adam-silver-on-nets-kyrie-irving-not-being-able-to-play-20211019-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Adam Silver had to field questions&lt;/a&gt; regarding the matter and stated:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&quot;This is between Irving and New York City right now. This is not a league issue ... but I think it would have been best for everyone if every player were vaccinated.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Now the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; point guard has the backing of one of the best pound for pound boxers of all-time Floyd Mayweather, Jr. &lt;strong&gt;Here is what Pretty Boy Floyd had to say about Kyrie Irving not taking COVID-19 vaccines.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Floyd Mayweather, Jr. &amp;nbsp;stated in an online video&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;America is the land of the free. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and, supposedly, freedom to choose&hellip; I respect you for having some integrity and being your own man. A free mind makes his own choices. An enslaved mind follows the crowd. Stand for something or fall for anything. One man can lead a revolution to stand up and fight for what&rsquo;s right. One choice, one word, one action can change the world. It&rsquo;s crazy how people hate you for being a leader. I hope your actions encourage many others to stand up and say enough is enough.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Since October 12th, Kyrie Irving cannot attend team practices or play in any games for the Brooklyn Nets,&lt;/strong&gt; until he is eligible by the league&rsquo;s standards, which basically means he needs to get vaccinated.&lt;/p&gt;

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. backs Kyrie Irving for not getting COVID-19 vaccinations

&lt;p&gt;Who knows how much longer &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will insist &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-true-reason-why-kyrie-irving-wont-get-the-vaccine-and-lose-over-200-million-20211016-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;on not receiving the Covid-19 vaccine&lt;/a&gt;, and therefore, miss practices and games with his team. What we know is that &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kevin-durant-t139314&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin Durant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will continue facing questions about this topic.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It's not easy to begin a new season when the atmosphere is not great, and the Nets may have felt that at the beginning of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-schedule-2021-22-find-here-the-complete-fixture-for-the-nba-2021-22-season-20211018-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2021-22 NBA season&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. But &lt;strong&gt;KD doesn't want to look for excuses&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/golden-state-warriors-t101550&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Golden State Warriors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; superstar &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kevin-durant-gets-brutally-honest-on-kyrie-irvings-absence-20211016-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;has previously mentioned&lt;/a&gt; the team had to move forward and it was pointless to lose time on getting mad at Kyrie or wondering&amp;nbsp;how things would be like with him on court.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Kevin Durant explains how the Nets have to deal without Irving&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;KD is well known for not making any excuses and being quite honest &lt;strong&gt;when things aren't going well&lt;/strong&gt;. After his team fall to 1-2 against the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/charlotte-hornets-t95447&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hornets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Durant explained &lt;strong&gt;his team has to be strong enough&lt;/strong&gt; while Kyrie is unavailable.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I mean while we playing in a game I&rsquo;m not gonna sit there and say yo, we get down or its a tight game like damn we don&rsquo;t have enough,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; Durant said, as quoted by &lt;em&gt;Clutchpoints&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Like no, we&rsquo;re not going to be thinking about that during the game. &lt;strong&gt;We definitely want Kyrie Irving out here on the floor&lt;/strong&gt;. And he&rsquo;s a huge part of what we do.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;But it&rsquo;s not happening right now so we gotta figure it out&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;But nobody is gonna lose confidence while we playing and hope Kyrie come and save us during the game&lt;/strong&gt;. Nah, we gotta play &hellip; but the good part about it is we got a game &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/brooklyn-nets-vs-washington-wizards-preview-predictions-odds-and-how-to-watch-the-2021-22-nba-regular-season-in-the-us-20211025-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tomorrow&amp;nbsp;(Monday)&lt;/a&gt;.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Durant couldn't have explained it better. Of course it's a shame to have a player like Kyrie on the sidelines right now, &lt;strong&gt;but that's not his nor his teammates business&lt;/strong&gt;. Instead, they should&amp;nbsp;focus on what's up to them, which is performing at their best.&lt;/p&gt;

Kevin Durant opens up on the Nets' slow start without Kyrie Irving

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Basketball Association&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; celebrates its &lt;strong&gt;75th anniversary&lt;/strong&gt; this &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-schedule-2021-22-find-here-the-complete-fixture-for-the-nba-2021-22-season-20211018-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;season&lt;/a&gt;. To honor its fruitful history, the league decided to select the &lt;strong&gt;75 best players of all time&lt;/strong&gt;, a list that was revealed recently.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/michael-jordan-t85627&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephen Curry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; obviously had their spots secured, &lt;strong&gt;some big-name players and fan favorites were snubbed&lt;/strong&gt;. This usually happens whenever you make a shortlist, no matter the topic we're talking about.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Of course, some people were unhappy with some selections and seeing a number of historic players &lt;strong&gt;being left out&lt;/strong&gt; at the expense of other names. Let's take a look at some of the snubs of the NBA 75th anniversary team.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;NBA 75th anniversary list: Biggest snubs&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;To be fair, it's hard to make such a shortlist &lt;strong&gt;when the league has seen so many talented superstars&lt;/strong&gt;. But it's also true that there are &lt;strong&gt;some names who should have never&amp;nbsp;been omitted&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The biggest snubs of the NBA 75th anniversary team might be &lt;strong&gt;Vince Carter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Dwight Howard&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Tony Parker&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Tracy McGrady&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/argentinian-players-in-the-nba-from-manu-ginobili-to-gabriel-deck-complete-list-20210408-0020.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manu Ginobili&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/penny-hardaway-chooses-michael-jordan-ahead-of-lebron-james-goat-20210402-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Penny Hardaway&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Chris Bosh&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pau Gasol&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;But the list &lt;strong&gt;could continue&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, &lt;strong&gt;Derrick Rose&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Nikola Jokic&lt;/strong&gt; are the only two players who have won the &lt;strong&gt;MVP&lt;/strong&gt; award and were not included on the list. So, it's understandable why fans will complain about some selections.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The 29-year-old &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; point guard cannot play in any games at the Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden because of a New York mandate that requires players to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or have approved medical approval or religious considerations for not taking a vaccine.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kevin-durant-gets-brutally-honest-on-kyrie-irvings-absence-20211016-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Nets have not allowed Kyrie Irving to participate in any team activities&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;until he can return to the team as a full-time player, meaning that he gets vaccinated. As of Monday, Irving has not changed his stance on taking a vaccine.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-true-reason-why-kyrie-irving-wont-get-the-vaccine-and-lose-over-200-million-20211016-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving has stated that he is doing &ldquo;what&rsquo;s best&rdquo; for him&lt;/a&gt; in a stance for not taking a coronavirus vaccine. Irving later took to social media stating that he &ldquo;loves basketball and is not retiring&rdquo; if he cannot play this season. &lt;strong&gt;Now NBA Commissioner Adam Silver spoke to the media regarding Kyrie Irving&rsquo;s situation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Speaking to reporters Adam Silver stated, &lt;em&gt;&quot;I won't try to speak for [the NBPA], other than the view that some players had, I think -- including maybe some players who are vaccinated -- that it should be an individual choice among the players&hellip; I would have preferred that ultimately that the Players Association agreed to mandatory vaccinations. The official&rsquo;s union agreed to mandatory vaccinations, despite opposition from some of their members. But ultimately, I think we could have avoided a lot of the adversarial nature of these issues for our players. It's not so much with the league. I think that gets confused in some cases.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Silver went on to say, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;This is between Irving and New York City right now. This is not a league issue ... but I think it would have been best for everyone if every player were vaccinated.&quot; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Kyrie Irving is an NBA champion and 7-time All-Star, his absence would be a blow to the Nets who are looking to make a championship run this season.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

NBA: Adam Silver on Nets' Kyrie Irving not being able to play

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everybody&rsquo;s talking about &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt; right now.&lt;/strong&gt; The&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;won&rsquo;t allow him to play, practice, or travel with them as he refuses to be vaccinated. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; season &lt;/strong&gt;is almost underway and they&rsquo;ll have to adjust to being without him.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Many people have questioned Irving&rsquo;s stance on the vaccine. Some reports claim that it was all due to a conspiracy theory. S&lt;strong&gt;ome say that he&rsquo;s dumb, &lt;/strong&gt;others laud him and respect him for taking a stand.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Whatever it&rsquo;s the case, you have to have strong principles &ndash; or be incredibly stubborn &ndash; to leave &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kyrie-irving-could-lose-428000-per-game-over-anti-vaxx-conspiracy-theory-20210927-0011.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;$16 million&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;and a $187 million contract extension&lt;/strong&gt;) on the table. So, why would he do something like that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Kyrie Says He&rsquo;s Not Anti-Vaxx But He Wants To Be A Voice For The Voiceless&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;According to a report by The Athletic, &lt;strong&gt;it&rsquo;s not that Kyrie Irving doesn&rsquo;t believe in the vaccine&lt;/strong&gt;. Instead, he wants to be the voice of the voiceless and help out those who have lost their jobs due to vaccine mandates:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Transcript via The Athletic)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Multiple sources with direct knowledge of Irving&rsquo;s decision have told The Athletic that Irving is not anti-vaccine and that his stance is that he is upset that people are losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates. It&rsquo;s a stance that Irving has explained to close teammates. To him, this is about a grander fight than the one on the court and Irving is challenging a perceived control of society and people&rsquo;s livelihood, according to sources with knowledge of Irving&rsquo;s mindset. It is a decision that he believes he is capable to make given his current life dynamics. &ldquo;Kyrie wants to be a voice for the voiceless,&rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;one source said.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;People will continue to talk and judge Kyrie, and you can&rsquo;t blame them, as there always seems to be a story with him. Then again, he &lt;strong&gt;just made a choice &lt;/strong&gt;and we&rsquo;ll have no choice but to deal with it and move on.&lt;/p&gt;
