Nets guard Kyrie Irving said he “meant no disrespect” when he promoted an antisemitic film and book on his social media accounts earlier this week.
“The 'Anti-Semitic' label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday,” Irving wrote on Twitter. “I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.”
Late on Friday night, the Nets condemned Irving’s decision to promote the film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America with a statement.
