"If he was on my team I’d have to put hands on him," the NBA legend said of the Brooklyn Nets star's refusal to get the coronavirus shot.
The star Brooklyn Nets guard responded to hecklers during a game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
The NBA legend pulled no punches over Irving's return to the Brooklyn Nets, despite his refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The team had just announced the guard's return to the organization.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Irving can practice and play in road games but not at home because he doesn’t meet New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The Brooklyn Nets star turned Skip Bayless' gush into mush.
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" spoof of the vaccine-refusing Brooklyn Nets star is “rated ‘M’ for maybe you should have just gotten vaccinated.”
The NBA superstar won't be playing because he refuses to get vaccinated to protect himself against the coronavirus.
The Brooklyn Nets guard was suspended by the team for vaccine refusal that would limit him to less than half of the games.
“Irving picks worse hills to die on than a bad general,” one critic said of the Brooklyn Nets guard.
