A fan asks Kyrie “why don’t you play like this when you were on the Nets?” Kyrie replies with “Thank Mayor Adams for that, bro,” referring to New York City’s COVID-era mandate preventing Kyrie from playing in the city while he was unvaccinated.

I mean, Adams is not a good dude, but jfc Kyrie does not learn.
What about the other seasons?
kyrie please shut up man
thank you for balling out tonight tho
Tbf didnt kyrie have like a really efficient stretch where he playing like 1 game a week. Guess that was mainly for away fans
He could’ve easily played home games and saved himself millions as well. No need to thank the mayor, thank yourself
Galaxy brain strikes again.
[I mean, he has a good point. A great one in fact.](https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/kyrie-irving-will-sit-courtside-maskless-to-watch-nets-game-sunday-he-cant-play-in)
Regardless of your vaccine opinions, it is crazy to think a super team imploded from a mayor’s mandate. Visiting teams could have unvaccinated players but not the home team.
Now 27 year old Mikal Bridges is the only hope for a franchise. 😭
They let him watch games in the building but he wasn’t allowed to play in the building… make it make sense
Fuck this dude. Bailed on his own team because he fell for anti vaxx bullshit.
Take some accountability man
I’m sure Mayor Adams was also responsible for Kyrie missing games for:
– Tweeting anti-semitic nonsense
– Going to his sister’s birthday
– Just not showing up at all and not notifying the coach
– All the other nonsense he got up to while in a Nets jersey
Kyrie’s a clown
Lol, I love that he’s still on that. Mayor adams nonsense really did screw us over in 21. Jaylen brown was allowed to play every game in Boston despite being anti vax.
Sure… blame it on another dude.
sure sure
vaccines work, people. don’t be that guy
Tell em Ky
When will you ever learn, you dumbass?
As if New York was the only city with that rule. It’s like getting arrested for a DUI and blaming the current governor.
It’s definitely someone else’s fault Kyrie doesn’t understand science.
Kyrie is as dumb as they come man. Hell of a baller but is the literal embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
I blame mayor Adams for everything. Got a ticket on my citibike today.
He’s not wrong
Zero accountability, classic Kyrie
LOL
Once again /r/nba shows it’s intelligence. Dudes really still out here dying on an unvaccinated hill
So when he flames out in Dallas do we blame Greg Abbott or Ted Cruz?
Fuck them both anyway, but is Kyrie claiming he likes Texas politics better?
This idiot doesn’t have any accountability. He grew up an entitled spoiled brat.
What a fucking loser
Adams just D’ ing him up
its never kyries fault. remember kyrie is better than you. at least he thinks he is
Nobody should have been required to get the covid vaccine. Mask mandate, sure, but the vaccine mandate crossed the line.
Kyrie thinks he is God’s gift to humanity. He even said that fans should be lucky to see him play. It’s all about him and not the team. He could have taken the vaccine just like everyone on the team and played if he really wanted to win.
Remember, It just wasn’t the vaccine. He decided not to join the team in the bubble and was suggesting to create a new league. The NBA players association said Hell no. He would also go MIA and Nash couldn’t even answer where he was. One time he was fined by the Nets for partying during Covid. Kyrie also promoted an Anti Semitic movie. He also decided not to play games because he felt like he needed to protest an injustice. We all know he could have done that outside basketball and not during games. There was always something during his time with the Nets.
The breaking point was when after he wanted a raise even after all the games that he missed with the Nets. Kyrie is a talented basketball player, but a horrible team player.
Just get the shot
Ah, there’s the a-hole who’s been hiding
😂 I love this man. Amazes me that some of yall still don’t have the balls to admit those mandates were OD
Kyrie the goat
Yall want to explain how it made sense that Kyrie could WATCH courtside but not actually play in the game? Science right?
Based
Whiny clown
Mayor Adams put the clamp on Kyrie with his lockdown defense.
Lol everyone hop off kyrie dick goddamn why y’all care what a grown ass man does/says lol…
Kyrie reminding you that he’s one of the most unlikable athletes in modern American sports.
