NBA Twitter Goes Head Over Heels as Former Presidential Candidate Invites Kyrie Irving to Join the Rockets

Regarded as one of the best point guards in the game, Kyrie Irving always stays in the limelight through his play or through his off-court activities. During the beginning of the season, Irving made headlines after deciding not to get vaccinated. Because of his vaccination status, he cannot play home games for his team, which has caused some controversy.

Recently, former presidential candidate Ted Cruz has made a very interesting proposal. He is inviting Irving to the Houston Rockets so that he gets regular game time! This proposition has turned the NBA world into a frenzy with people resorting to Twitter to voice their opinions.

Kyrie Irving to join the Houston Rockets?

After the departure of star player James Harden, the Houston Rockets have not really found a replacement for him. While the team tries to build upon the life after Harden, a very unlikely man could be his replacement; Kyrie Irving!

Although nothing between the two parties has been established yet, a former presidential candidate has made a very tempting offer for Irving. According to Ted Cruz, Irving should come to Houston to play for the Rockets in order to get game time. He said, “If Brooklyn won?t let Kyrie play, I?m going to make a pitch to you directly. Kyrie, come to Houston, play for the Rockets. We?ll let you play.

This comes after the New York City mandate that bars unvaccinated athletes to take part in sporting activities. Because of this mandate, the Brooklyn Nets cannot play Irving in home matches.

Despite the shortage of game time, Irving is firing on all cylinders. Moreover, Kevin Durant is back from an injury that makes the Brooklyn Nets even more formidable.

Fans could see the true strength of the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving duo in the match against the Philadelphia 76ers. The duo ran the show as the Nets breezed past the 76ers with a 129-100 win.

The Nets front office would look to keep Irving in the roster as part of their plans to win an NBA title. Keeping him fit for most of the season will be a monumental task for the staff as Uncle Drew has been injury-prone in recent times. He averages 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game this season.
