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.
