    NBA put the Kibosh on Wiggins refusal to get Vaccinated on religious reasons. Most players who have "God given ability" give praise for their blessings of having it. Well Doctors & Scientist have "God given ability " too. The ability to try to heal the worst health issues put upon us. So use some common sense Wiggy, and get with the program.

    Sixers brass have got to be LOVING Kyrie for taking the heat off them. "Kyrie is crazy" stories are much more hot than the tired "Sixers are a shitshow" stories.

    Are there any Jehovah's Witnesses in the NBA? Christian Scientists? Because those are the only examples I can think of that might have a genuine claim to a religious objection.

    Jesus this kid. I kept saying he was a walking injury while he was at Duke. Too many Oden vibes-- he needs to lose weight

    It's his choice not to announce it. He's also right that you can still get Covid. But getting the shot, like the flu shot, has proven to make it more survivable if you contract it. He's kind of smug anyways. By coming out like this, he does sound like he hasn't gotten the vaccine. If he hasn't, he's very lucky that his loss of taste & smell is all he's dealing with.

    He's a naturally big dude, like Shaq. If he can't bring down the weight, he's gonna have to alter his style of "above the rim" basketball, or face blowing out his legs.
