Mike Vorkunov: Here is Nike’s statement when asked about Kyrie Irving, who has his own Nike shoe line and who last week tweeted a link to a movie considered to be antisemitic: “At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech, and we condemn any form of antisemitism.”

Inspired by @NekiasNBA, let’s look at 5 NBA teams’ touch stats thru two weeks of the 2022-23 season and compare them to last season 🧵…
(1/5) Brooklyn Nets
• KD’s touches are WAY down
• Simmons is touching the ball almost as frequently as Kyrie
• Claxton is more involved pic.twitter.com/pOEHfeDXh0 – 12:19 PM

it’s hilarious (and completely unsurprising) that many of the same folks who demanded Colin Kaepernick be thrown out of the NFL and said LeBron James should just “shut up and dribble”…
Are now vigorously defending Kyrie Irving and his first amendment rights.
hmmm wonder why?? – 9:18 AM

Kyrie Irving stood by his controversial posts linking to an antisemitic film in a heated press conference Saturday.

Story off last night is up. On Oct. 11, Kevin Durant said the preseason vibes were great in Brooklyn but the real question is if they survive adversity. With a 1-5 start, a Kyrie Irving press conference, Steve Nash’s words, etc., perhaps that test is here: theathletic.com/3743591/2022/1… – 1:21 PM

More on this storyline
Kanye West showed support for Kyrie Irving as the Nets guard faces backlash for social media posts that appear to promote an anti-semitic film and book. On Sunday, West — who’s lost a number of brand deals after a series of anti-semitic remarks — took to Instagram to share a black and white photo of Irving with the caption, “There’s some real ones still here.” -via New York Post / October 31, 2022
In a separate post on Sunday, West also shared a black and white photo of ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith. “It’s actually some real ones still alive that ain’t afraid no more I’m with you Time to build our own So the redmedia can never control or diminish us again,” West wrote of Smith. -via New York Post / October 31, 2022
More than three days after Tweeting to promote an anti-Semitic film, Kyrie Irving finally deleted the Tweet Sunday night and appears unlikely to face any penalty from the NBA. The New York Post reported Irving is unlikely to face punishment from the league. An email to an NBA spokesman asking if any penalty was expected went unanswered as of Monday morning. -via Newark Star-Ledger / October 31, 2022
