Until Friday night, no NBA superstar let alone active player had criticized Kyrie Irving’s promotion of an antisemitic video, then LeBron James broke the silence.
James said that his former NBA champion teammate had “caused some harm to a lot of people” and that he did not “condone” it. Speaking post-game, James was asked about the controversy and suspension.
“It’s simple. Me, personally, I don’t condone any hate to any kinds, any race, to Jewish communities, to Black communities, to Asian communities. You guys know where I stand,” James said after the Lakers loss to the Jazz.
