LeBron James has condemned former teammate Kyrie Irving after the Brooklyn Nets player was suspended for promoting a documentary that included anti-semitic material.
Irving is serving a five-game ban for the Nets after drawing attention to the film 'Hebrews to Ne*****: Wake Up Black America', by sharing a link to the show on Twitter. The documentary includes Holocaust denial and conspiracy theories concerning Jewish people. The seven-time NBA all-star also had his sponsorship deal suspended by Nike, who have cancelled their next shoe release with the 30-year-old.
Irving has since apologised for his social media activity that has received widespread backlash, despite initially defending sharing the link to the film. NBA veteran James played alongside Irving for the Cleveland Cavaliers between 2014 and 2017. And LA Lakers star James has now opened up on the harm that Irving has caused for sharing such offensive material.
