In 2020, Kyrie Irving created a $1.5M fund to cover salaries for WNBA players who sat out the season over COVID-19 or to focus on social justice after the league said it would only pay salaries for medical opt outs.
Kyrie's initiative ensured that the WNBA players got paid during the lock downs.
Just one of the ways Kyrie's big heart impacts others ❤️🫶🏼
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense

Sherrone Moore — FIRED.
But Mike Vrabel?
Handled differently… talk of “rehab,” not removal.
Same type of allegations. Different outcomes.
That’s not accountability — that’s selective enforcement.
Black coaches lose careers.
Others get second chances.
Call it what it is. 🎯
