He really didn’t “pay” anything. He just didn’t get that contract extension, because with the various mandates and restrictions in place he’d be able to play in less than half the team’s games. He made his choice, the Nets made a perfectly valid business decision, Kyrie still gets phat cash, mandates are gone. Trying to paint it as some great sacrifice is silly.
Did YOU forego half your expected earnings by refusing to get the fake vaccine ?
