Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Honestly, there’s little hope that [Kyrie Irving] will change because he’s insulated by fame and money and surrounded by yes-people. There is no motivation to learn how to distinguish propaganda from facts. All that’s left is for the world to decide how it should respond to him.

Among the complicating factors with creating repercussions for Kyrie – talent, accrued generational wealth, narcissism – the biggest, IMO, is he clearly isn’t invested in basketball as a full-time career, which lessens the threat of it getting taken away from him. AK – 5:16 PM

And once again, he did not offer an apology for his posts linking to an antisemitic film. clutchpoints.com/nets-news-i-ca… – 5:04 PM

So Kyrie doubled down. Can’t get much more clear than that.
He had time to “simmer down” or whatever, time to think through his actions and time to speak to others in order to learn.
He clearly did none of that. He wouldn’t even say he is not anti-Semitic. – 12:26 PM

Kyrie Irving, @Brooklyn Nets y @ADL publican una declaración conjunta en la que Irving nunca ofrece disculpas a los que injurió, tras una reunión entre las partes a la cual no asistió. Dejó que su padre y madrastra (representante) hablaran y escucharan por él. @CoachCMorales pic.twitter.com/ulgPU1dehs – 7:56 PM

Kyrie didn’t address the anti-Semitic NWO conspiracy video he posted to IG is his non-apology statement.
On Saturday, he claimed the conspiracy was true.
Also, here’s the Kyrie/Nets statement side-by-side with Meyers Leonard’s statement last year.
Quite the contrast. pic.twitter.com/zgy5pS7POk – 7:52 PM

I said this on the radio over the weekend, but next time Kyrie talks, reporters need to run through a list of talking points in the documentary and ask if he deems them true or not. Especially important now that he’s said he doesn’t believe “everything said” in the doc. – 7:39 PM

More on this storyline
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: His inability to understand why his posts are news can be seen in this statement: “There’s things being posted every day. I’m no different from the next human being, so don’t treat me any different. You guys come in here and make up this powerful influence that I have (and say) you cannot post that. Why not? Why not?” If he really thinks someone with millions of followers spouting hate speech is the same as Jim in accounting posting on Facebook, then he really is out of step with reality. -via Substack / November 3, 2022
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: The Nets finally forced Irving to acknowledge the damage he’s done and donate $500,000 to groups opposing hate speech. In his statement you can almost hear his arm being twisted: “I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day. I am aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community and I take responsibility.” But there was no explicit apology—which tells us everything about what he really believes. -via Substack / November 3, 2022
