Kyrie Irving Is An Insane Lazy Moron, Not A Hero
Basketball player Charles Barkley once declared himself “not a role model” in between fights with Godzilla. Truth be told, regardless of your thoughts on Charles Barkley, he is certainly a much better role model than current Basketball player Kyrie Irving.
Irving has entered the national spotlight over his refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine, a decision I have written previously about. However, it seems like the National Basketball Association has decided to step up its punishments against Irving, with his team of the Brooklyn Nets telling him he will not be allowed to play nor practice until he gets vaccinated.
Naturally, this had made Irving a small hero on the right-wing, with Donald Trump Jr. tweeting on 10/12/2021:
Kyrie just sacrificed more than [Collin] Kaepernick ever did!
To be fair to Trump Jr., Irving is taking a financial hit by not showing up for these games. According to one report, each game Irving misses costs him around $381,000 compared to what he could make if he showed up to them. That means a loss of $15,500,000 if Irving does not play any more games this season. Of course, Irving currently has a net-worth of $90,000,000, meaning Irving could never play another game of basketball again and still have more money than the GDP of a large chunk of nations.
