"Kyrie Irving or Ben Simmons, who can take the shot first?": NBA Twitter reacts to rumors of James Harden being annoyed with the former LeBron teammate's vaccination status and unavailability for home games

NBA Twitter reacts to a recent New York Post article that claims James Harden was internally open about his problems with Kyrie’s vaccination status.

There is a mess of different proportions going on both in Philadelphia and in Brooklyn. While Kyrie Irving seems to have made his mind up about not getting the Covid-19 vaccine, Ben Simmons has wilfully disinvolved himself from everything related to the 76ers.

The Kyrie Irving situation is the one that seems to be more volatile at the moment. Once the difference-maker in the only 3-1 comeback ever made in the NBA Finals, Irving’s love for basketball seems overridden by other things.

He’s standing up for non-issues and sending cryptic messages to the media despite being one of the most loved NBA players. He’s also not getting a vaccine dose that several hundred million people have taken without side-effects.

It seems James Harden has made his own, reportedly harsh thoughts about Irving’s unavailability known in the Brooklyn Nets camp. Or so New York Post claims.
