Kyrie Irving is Brooklyn’s Star Point Guardian of the Nets and is building the New York team ‘Big 3’, from which great things are expected soon. However, the player said he did not want to lose his salary or leave the team in the championship due to a ban, but after refusing “it’s best for me” his decision to get vaccinated against Covit-19.
The Nets decided Tuesday that Irving was unfit to play at home, where the New York command would require professional athletes to train on one of the city teams or be vaccinated in public places.
Speaking on Instagram Live, Irving said he loves basketball and he is not going to retire.
“I do what I can for myself. I know the consequences, and if I am judged for it and become a demon, that’s it,” Irving said. “That’s the role I play, but I never want to give up my passion, my love, my dream for this order.”
He may have trained with Irving Nets and played outside of New York. Nets will pay him for it, but he loses home games and gives up half of his $ 35 million salary.
“So what? It’s not about the money,” Irving pointed out. “It’s not always about the money. It’s about choosing what works best for you. Do you really think I want to lose money?”
Irving also expressed support for physicians who are not vaccinated and supportive. The All-Star Point Guard gave no indication that he was against vaccination, and he decided not to.
“Again, I’m going to say this again. It’s not about the web, it’s not about the system, it’s not about the NBA, it’s not about politics,” Irving reiterated. “It’s not just a matter of. It’s about the freedom to do what I want to do.”
Since Nets Media Day on September 27, Irving has not spoken to reporters when asked about privacy when he appeared via Zoom and asked about his vaccine status.
The Nets are champions, and Irving said he did not want to miss the opportunity with them.
Nets general manager Sean Marx said he was pleased to welcome Irving in the right situation and made it clear that he would play again.
