What is the significance of Kyrie Irving posting a picture of Morpheus?

In the “Matrix” Trilogy, Morpheus is a very important character and a leader who helps Neo (the protagonist) to find the truth and leave a life of lies. This post can be interpreted in that context, given Kyrie’s stance against covid vaccination.

According to New York govt mandates, players has to be vaccinated in order to play games in New York. To not to disturb the flow of the team, Brooklyn Nets decided to  keep him away from the team indefinitely.

A group of protesters showed support for Kyrie chanting, “No vaccine mandate, stand with Kyrie” infront of the Barclay Center before the Brooklyn Nets home opener.

Kyrie Irving has been ridiculed before for thinking the earth is flat. He made the news back in 2017 when he demanded to be traded by Cleveland Cavaliers, not willing to continue playing with Lebron James.

This year in January, Kyrie went absent without any notice and missed 7 games.
