NBA Superstar Kyrie Irving Was Gleefully Targeted by Fanatical ‘Covid Policy Architect’: New Video
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving may have grounds for legal action against New York City due to remarks made by Dr. Jay Varma, who was behind the city’s strict COVID policies during Bill de Blasio’s administration. In a recently uncovered video, Varma boasted about blocking Irving from playing basketball for the Brooklyn Nets after he refused to get vaccinated, calling Irving “an ass.” This information was shared by conservative commentator Steven Crowder, who referred to Varma as the “NYC Covid Policy Architect.” Varma expressed pride in targeting Irving, implying his actions were a significant part of his legacy. Additionally, Varma was recorded discussing his participation in what he termed “deviant” behaviors during the pandemic’s lockdowns, which the New York Post criticized harshly. The editorial remarked on Varma’s apparent lack of accountability and questioned the trustworthiness of public health officials.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving may have a litigious bone to pick with the city he used to play in.
That’s because Dr. Jay Varma — described by the New York Post as “the man behind New York City’s draconian COVID response under Bill de Blasio” — was recently caught on camera, almost gleefully admitting he targeted Irving for being an “a**.”
The videos were d by conservative pundit and content creator Steven Crowder, who described Varma as the former “NYC Covid Policy Architect.”

“There was a basketball player named Kyrie Irving,” Varma began in the clip.
“Who?” asks the undercover journalist.
“Kyrie Irving,” Varma repeated, removing all doubt about who he was talking about. “He refused to get vaccinated. But because he played for the team in Brooklyn, because of the vaccine mandates that I passed, he was not allowed to play.”
Irving played for the Brooklyn Nets from 2019 until a blockbuster 2023 trade that saw him go to the Mavs, due in part to the controversy he stirred over his vaccine refusal.
“And so it became this huge national issue about why Kyrie Irving wasn’t allowed to play basketball, because he was refusing to get vaccinated,” Varma continued.
The seemingly proud doctor added: “So, like, this is a fun part of my life. So I got to be on… The Wall Street Journal wrote a whole story about me being the one that blocked Kyrie Irving from playing basketball.”
The undercover video then cut to a different clip of Varma, in which the doctor denigrated Irving’s character.
“I just think he’s asinine,” Varma is seen saying. “He’s an a**.”
Varma then made a curious equivalency that he wouldn’t tell Irving how to dribble or shoot a basketball.
“Don’t tell me, like, how the science works,” Varma complained.
While the Irving video is unseemly enough (no public health officials should be targeting private citizens, “a**” or not), Varma may face much larger consequences, thanks to Crowder’s sleuthing.
The other video captured by Crowder shows Varma bragging about how he wasn’t beholden to any of the “draconian” measures implemented by him, when the doctor basically admitted to partying at drug-fueled parties during lockdowns, according to the Post.
“I did all this deviant, like sexual stuff while I was like, you know, like on TV and stuff. People were like, ‘Aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you embarrassed?’ and I was like, ‘No, actually, I’m like, I love being my authentic self,” Varma said.
The Post absolutely excoriated Varma.
“That he will stay out of prison, where he belongs like all corrupt public servants, is obscene; that he will keep his medical license is an enormity,” the article from the New York Post’s editorial board read.
It continued: “But Dr. Varma has nonetheless done America a massive favor.
“He’s shown yet again that our progressive public health ‘experts’ are duplicitous narcissists who deserve eternal condemnation, not trust.”
