Reggie Miller has Nets as championship favorites without Kyrie Irving

Former Pacers sharpshooter and NBA legend Reggie Miller has called out Nets star Kyrie Irving. The 29-year-old, who is not allowed or participate in any team activities until he gets vaccinated, has been sparking controversy going into the new season. Despite not getting the thumbs up to return, Miller told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Bally Sports that he still has the Brooklyn Nets winning it all. Still though, the legend admits that Irving should be all in for the team eventually.

“Kyrie does have a lot of good in his heart. He does. He’s done a lot of things in the community and I applaud him for that — When you are dealing with a team oriented sport situation like this, you’ve GOT to be all in. You’ve got to be all in if you want to win a championship … I still have them as favorites to win even if Kyrie (Irving) didn’t want to play at all this year.”

The Nets are certainly in a bizarre situation without Irving. With all-time scorers in James Harden and Kevin Durant leading the ship, there shouldn’t be any issues for the time being, but the Nets will have to figure out a permanent solution before the playoffs begin.
