Shaquille O’Neal Says The Nets Should ‘Get Kyrie Irving’s A** Outta Here’ Out For Being Unvaccinated

Shaquille O’Neal is not holding back his opinion on others not getting vaccinated. In a new interview, the former NBA champion expressed his feelings on Kyrie Irving and his vaccination status.

When asked what he would do if Kyrie Irving was his teammate, Shaquille O’Neal said,

“I would go upstairs and say ‘get him up outta here. Get him up outta here’. We can win with the one-two punch, a great shooter, and the rebounders we have.”

He added,

“Cause now every day, we have to answer questions about him and what he’s doing. Get his a** up outta here. Whoever owns the Brooklyn Nets, get him outta here”

As previously reported, the NBA recently announced that unvaccinated players will not be paid for missing games. This new regulation could directly impact players like Kyrie Irving, being that everyone has to have a least one shot to enter the arena and/or practice gym.

Although Kyrie Irving has not confirmed or denied his vaccination status, many speculate he is unvaccinated after remarks he made during the Brooklyn Nets’ media day.

With half of the games being at home, Kyrie Irving could possibly miss over 30 games, resulting in him losing over $5 million.
