Charles Barkley has strong words on Kyrie Irving situation: 'You get [vaccinated] for other people'

Charles Barkley never holds back, and this time, while talking about Kyrie Irving and the population getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

"You don't get the vaccine for yourself," the Hall of Famer said on Inside the NBA. "You get it for other people."

"You get vaccinated for your family, first," he added. "You get vaccinated for your teammates second."

That last part was a reference to Kyrie Irving, refusing to get vaccinated and the Nets keeping him away from the team due to New York regulations preventing him from playing home games.

The Nets began the season on Tuesday night, losing to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks.
