There were others who had the courage to say, bump that.
One of those people at the forefront was Kyrie Irving.
But with him, in terms of leadership, and I didn't look at it as being courageous.
I looked at it as being selfish.
And I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday.
And the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving.
Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking.
And our folks were piling on because that was just the latest transgression in their eyes that he was committing and subjecting the public to.
He refused the vaccine.
New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates.
In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish.
It made him brave for his willingness to stand up and say, no, I'm not doing that.
It's just a time for reflection to look at things differently.
