Kyrie Irving Compares Himself to Muhammad Ali

Kyrie Irving is truly one of the most interesting athletes to ever live.

He’s set to make his season debut sometime in the near future after the Nets decided to let him join the team again after he decided against taking the vaccine, which caused him not to play in home games due to the vaccine mandates in New York  City.

They first decided that he couldn’t be around the team at all even though he’d be able to play in road games, but now, after all of the covid issues, they have decided that he can rejoin the team for practices and road games.

The perennial Allstar isn’t a stranger to getting lots of criticism, and that’s exactly what he got after posting a pic of the late Muhammad Ali. There’s no context to the pic at all, so people just assumed he was comparing himself to Ali.

Here is what Ali thought about vaccines.

In 1978, Ali filmed a public service announcement with the New York City Department of Health as part of their “No Shots, No School” campaign that encouraged parents to get their children vaccinated against mumps, measles, and polio so that they can go to school. The PSA ends with Ali saying “No shot, no school. It’s the law.”

Ali’s “No Shot, No School” PSA was at least the second time that Ali promoted vaccines. In March 2021, the Muhammad Ali Center shared a photograph of Ali receiving a vaccine. While we haven’t been able to find too many details about this photograph, it was likely taken in 1974 when Ali received a Smallpox vaccination before traveling to Zaire, Africa, for the “Rumble in the Jungle.”

I’m sure he doesn’t care what others think, though.
