My mask is off. Now take yours off. No fear.
— A11Even (@KyrieIrving) September 15, 2021
Irving has opened up recently about the importance of mental health, but the context of the message relates to "masks" and "no fear."
The cryptic tweet leaves people guessing the true meaning behind the message and perhaps that's the the exact effect the basketball star is hoping to have.
Still in the midst of the pandemic, it's hard to imagine that Irving would take such a strong stance against a deterrent of spreading the virus.
If Irving is using the word "mask" in a metaphorical sense to illustrate people aren't showing their true selves, that's one thing.
If he's urging people to remove masks all together, that a whole other ball of wax.
Whatever the case may be, Irving's latest tweet will stir up controversy in a number of ways .
The NBAPA announced this week that it will not agree with the proposed league mandate to require players to get vaccinated. Approximately 75 NBA players are currently unvaccinated, and in New York and San Francisco, laws prohibit unvaccinated players or personnel from entering arenas or practice facilities, unless they have a religious or medical exemption.
Nets fans are hoping this tweet was merely a poor word choice or perhaps a tasteless message to stir up drama.
If Brooklyn's leader is unvaccinated and without an exemption he would be precluded from playing in homes games and practicing at the team's facility this upcoming season.
