Kyrie Irving and his situation with the Brooklyn Nets has been one, Kyrie Is being criticized about his COVID vaccination status, but no one is ready to understand that the NYC COVID Mandate makes no sense as well. Stephen A. Smith has criticized Kyrie Irving, and it looked like his emotions took the better of him. Stephen Jackson Sr. has come out to shut Stephen A. Smith.

Kyrie Irving has been barred by the NYC COVID Mandate to play any games in New York, which means that he is barred from playing any home games, unless and until he gets vaccinated. But now things have changed, and Kyrie Irving will be back in the Barclays Center to play for the Nets. Things didn’t go well, when Stephen A. Smith responded to the news, saying that he is glad, and excited that Kyrie Irving will be back playing in home games, but questions his decision about not getting vaccinated, which left his team in troubled times.

Stephen Jackson Sr. Blasts Stephen A. Smith for commenting on Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving has played just 20 games for the Brooklyn Nets, due to the COVID Mandate and his decision to not get vaccinated, due to which he was unable to play any games that were held in the city of New York.

Kyrie Irving has shown us exactly why the Brooklyn Nets need him, in the 20 games which he has played for the Brooklyn Nets he has averaged 28.5 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.5 rebounds.

Stephen A. Smith on ‘First Take’ in ESPN, said how excited he was when the news broke out, “I’m very very happy that Kyrie Irving is going to be on the basketball court. I’m ecstatic, mind you, because his absence would have cost the Brooklyn Nets a championship, I firmly believe that. … The mandate was bogus.” Said Smith. But what he said next didn’t really make anyone happy, “He put himself above the team, which is entirely his right. … But at the end of the day that don’t make him no damn hero, because he’s not. He was willing to leave the Brooklyn Nets hanging if necessary, willing to jeopardize their championship hopes if necessary, because of his individual isolated choice, at the expense of his entire organization”, said Stephen A. Smith.

This was something which was not enjoyed by Stephen Jackson Sr., “He may not be a hero to you, but he a hero to somebody”, said Jackson Sr. What Stephen Jackson Sr. was trying to prove was that Stephen A. Smith need not had to go to that extent to blast Kyrie Irving for a decision he thinks that was best for him. “And if that’s someone’s definition of a hero, I’ll just say it damn sure ain’t mine.” Said Jackson Sr.
