Kyrie Owen's stance on the COVID-19 vaccine is certain to hurt the Nets in a way. With star Chris Brown supporting the mysterious point guard, the focus on Irving's beliefs could be a distraction for the Nets.
A photo of Owen was recently posted on Instagram, and Brown expressed strong approval of the basketball star's choice.
"Real heroes! I support my brother. Whoever doesn't like it, go live your damn life. It was his choice, and it was a very good choice. Always in my brother's corner. ”
The Nets decided not to let Kyrie Irving play and train wherever he was, until the latter decided to get vaccinated or New York City relaxed its immunization requirements.
While Kevin Durant and James Harden, two superstars at their peak MVP level, are enough to keep the team stable, the void left by Irving will become more pronounced as the season progresses.
Brooklyn's three-headed monster was supposed to let Steve Nash manage his big three. The Nets are destined to play long in the playoffs, so having a lavish lineup of Durant, Harden and Irving is crucial.
The Nets lost to potential playoff rivals the Bucks in the season opener, and the Bucks played many games without Juhu Holliday. That's enough for Irving to re-evaluate his decision, if he really wants to help the team achieve its goals.
