Kyrie Irving isn’t your typical NBA athlete, believing in some of the eccentricies in our world (Illuminati confirmed), and his recent Tweet made headlines for similar reasons.

Irving uses his social media platforms very frequently, just as a mode to communicate his thoughts and lessons on life in terms of what he believes is important.
About 13 hours ago, Kyrie Tweeted something that had many NBA fans shaking their heads given the current situation we’re in with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Yeah, you can see where the problems may start to arise given that the mask is currently the best defense mechanism against the deadly virus, but the Nets star did clarify that his Tweet had nothing to do with the pandemic itself.
Kyrie Irving Clarifies His Tweet Has To Do With Being Yourself And Not About Covid-19
Irving may not always be a man of science, believing in the flat-Earth theory among other things, but he certainly recognizes the importance of masking up in the current day.
However, when fans saw his Tweet, they, understandably, thought that he was trying to preach an unsafe practice, and took to the comments to call him out.
Kyrie did come back with another Tweet to say that his intentions weren’t to encourage people not to wear masks, at least not in the literal sense. His Tweet was a metaphor for the masks that people put on sometimes to hide who they truly are, either to appeal to others around them, or to be someone they’re not for advantageous reasons.
However, some people were quick to note that even if the entire ordeal was a metaphor, the timing of the Tweet given the conditions we’re in was ill-fated, and Irving should have known what he was doing.
