Kevin Durant’s injury and his estimated absence of four to six weeks would they move the lines in Brooklyn? Because without the 2014 MVP and with Kyrie Irving still deprived of home games, James Harden would end up feeling very alone in front of his audience.
The most famous bearded guy in the league can prepare for it, because the playmaker, despite the circumstances, has no intention of changing his mind and therefore getting vaccinated.
“Kevin will eventually heal, it will be fine, and we have to deal with it”, he announces to ESPN. “But when it comes to my life off the pitch, I remain firm on my decision. This is how. I’m not going to be swayed by an event in NBA life, because you’d think it’s more important than what happens in real life. Not for me. I respect everyone’s decision, I’m not trying to convince anyone, but I’m not moving. “
The 2016 champion thus remains on his positions and did not hide a certain annoyance at the recurring questions from journalists on this subject, which he considers private.
“The question of my vaccination is addressed via a basketball game, while I live most of my time away from the courts” he continues. “So when I say I’m not going to get vaccinated, people come and talk to me about basketball. But no: we live in the real world. I’m happy to play for the Nets, to have this chance, I love my teammates, but I’ve had enough time to think about it, to make this decision. I know some will agree, some won’t. So I find it a little disrespectful to be asked this question. I’m not just a basketball player and it’s not all about basketball. “
