The video on Bleacher Report's post has 1.1 million views in one day.  

In the clip, the All-Star guard is putting on basketball shoes.   

The reason why that's such an interesting clip is because he has yet to play in a game this season due to the vaccine mandate preventing him from playing in home games at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.    

While he could be a part-time player, the Nets announced before the season that they would not allow him to be with the team unless he could participate fully.
