Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has given his views on the actions of Kyrie Irving, who was suspended by the Brooklyn Nets for sharing a link to an anti-semitic film.
Seven-time NBA All-Star Irving took to social media last week to tweet out an Amazon link to a three hour movie titled ‘Hebrews to Ne*****: Wake Up Black America’. Rolling Stone reported the 2018 film is littered with ‘anti-semitic tropes’, which led Brooklyn management to act fast and distance themselves from his actions.
Irving has been suspended without pay for five matches, and has since apologised and promised to "grow" from this incident. And James has responded to the matter, admitting his former team-mates actions were 'harmful'.
