After being expected to play in road games for the Brooklyn Nets following a recent decision from the team, point guard Kyrie Irving was placed in COVID-19 protocols.
His 2021-22 NBA debut will be further delayed, but it will happen at some point.
In the meantime, the controversial Nets point guard is back to posting controversial messages and images as he did on his Instagram story where the point guard has likened himself to Muhammad Ali.
Ali had taped his mouth ahead of a weigh-in for a 1963 fight against Doug Jones: “3/13/63 New York – Cassius Clay’s mouth is shut – or at least covered with tape – as he arrives for weigh-in here 3/13 for his heavyweight bout with Doug Jones late 3/13. Just before the actual weigh-in, the usually loquacious Clay removed the tape but maintained silence.”
Irving likely thinks he is similar to Ali, who sacrficed part of his prime for standing up for what he believed in.
The biggest difference is that Ali refused to go to war for a country that treated him and his people like crap. Unlike Irving, the all-time great boxer was pro vaccine.
