Shaquille O’Neal Criticizes Kyrie Irving For Not Getting Vaccinated
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Shaquille O’Neal was never really one to bite his tongue, so it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that he share his feelings about Kyrie Irving being a vaccine skeptic and says the Brooklyn Nets should cut ties with the controversial flat earther/point guard. During an interview on with Tiki and Tierney, Shaq Diesel said that he’d go to management and tell them to get Kyrie “up out of here” and “We can win with a two-punch and a great shooter and some rebounders like we got. Get his ass up out of here.” Well, we actually believe he’d do something like that. Luckily the Nets have KD and James Harden to move the team forward, but the NBA in 2021 does need a Big Three to compete for a title. Being that Kyrie isn’t vaccinated he...
Kyrie Irving Airs Out Nike, Says New Kyrie 8 Is Trash & He Had Nothing To Do With Them
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike Basketball / NIke Ask some of his past teams or teammates, and they might say dealing with Kyrie Irving can be precarious. Nike is learning this first hand as the NBA superstar point guard aired out the brand over his alleged non-involvement in the design and marketing of his next signature sneaker. If Nike maintains its usual timeline, the new Nike Kyrie 8 would be released shortly before the new NBA season. An image of the new model recently leaked on Instagram (via @k11kicks), and the Brooklyn Nets point guard commented, and it was nothing nice. “I have nothing to do with the design or marketing of the upcoming Kyrie 8, IMO these are trash!,” wrote Irving. “I have absolutely nothing to do with them!

Kyrie Irving is pushing for one fitting tribute that will last forever if it happens and is proud to lead the charge. The Brooklyn Nets All-Star point guard has had NBA fans talking since sharing on his Instagram account that he feels that his idol and good friend, Kobe Bryant, should replace Jerry West as the NBA logo.

Peep Pics Of Kyrie Irving’s New Nike Kyrie 7 Signature Sneaker
Source: Nike / NIke Though the Brooklyn Net’s newest superstar point guard, Kyrie Irving, didn’t return to the bubble to play out the remainder of the COVID-19 NBA season, Nike is still lacing his signature line with the kind of heat that you’d find in Miami. Source: Nike / NIke Yesterday Nike unveiled their upcoming Kyrie 7 which features some dope composite mesh upper for comfort and flexibility and a “data-informed traction” grip on the bottom sole for the ballers who like to cut through the court like Uncle Drew during the playoffs. The designers took into account Kyrie’s playing style when developing his latest silhouette and best believe anyone who hoops in these will appreciate the thought process.

Source: Jim McIsaac / Getty Kyrie Irving has made no secret that he’s against NBA players returning to the court to finish out the remainder of the season amidst the COVID-19 pandemic that’s claimed the lives of 140,000+ Americans. So when it got out that many women from the WNBA league had decided to continue to shelter in place instead of participating in the season (forfeiting a year’s worth of salary in the process), the Brooklyn Net’s star point guard decided to put his money where his mouth is and is financially helping the women who are sitting out this year’s games. Blavity is reporting that Irving lunched the KAI Empowerment Initiative this past Monday (July 27) and committed $1.5 million of his own money to help take the financial burden off of players who aren’t risking their he...
