NBA Twitter Destroys Kyrie Irving Over Liking Posts From Conspiracy Theorists
In these past couple of years, no other NBA player has been turning heads as frequently as Kyrie Irving. Media boycotts, personal off days/weeks, trade request, and not reporting to training camp, only are a few of the things Irving has been criticized for.
Now, being anti-vax and additionally liking conspiracy theories about microchips in vaccines and social societies, are the newest reason fans and media are in disbelief over the All-Star point guard.
The Rolling Stone’s Matt Sulliva published a piece that presents an inside look at the NBA’s vaccination issue, as well as Kyrie Irving getting into some of these wild conspiracy theories:
“Irving, who serves as a vice president on the executive committee of the players’ union, recently started following and liking Instagram posts from a conspiracy theorist who claims that “secret societies” are implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for “a plan of Satan.” This Moderna microchip misinformation campaign has spread across multiple NBA locker rooms and group chats, according to several of the dozen-plus current players, Hall-of-Famers, league executives, arena workers and virologists interviewed for this story over the past week.”
Upon seeing this newest part of Irving’s foolishness, NBA Twitter went to work and blasted him.

What a piece from @sullduggery. Kyrie Irving’s aunt says Irving isn’t going to try to get a religious exemption to get around being an anti-vaxxer. He’s going to try to get around the rules. https://t.co/oeCGF61UH4 pic.twitter.com/GpoDevKUWv
