That’s an NBA on TNT tweet (not a Shaq Tweet) and it’s still on their Twitter feed.

This is long, but he actually goes through the history of the book, the movie, etc.  It is pretty fascinating, but also very sad that people keep falling for this fake news nonsense, especially someone like Kyrie with his platform.

Ooof! Yeah, but Twitter is a cesspool. You have to now expect that shi.....stuff.

Reggie's two cents.

Reggie Miller gave voice to that disappointment during TNT's broadcast of Nets-Bulls last night. He said the players "dropped the ball" by staying quiet here and it is especially disappointing after those same players successfully pushed for Robert Sarver to sell the Suns by openly condemning the racist and sexist comments he made. As transcribed by the New York Post:

“In years past, this league has been great because the players have led the way and they have strong voices,” Miller said. “When Donald Sterling stepped in it, when Robert Sarver just recently stepped in it, our voices in the basketball community and our players were vocally strong in some type of discipline being handed down — or be gone.

“The players have dropped the ball on this case when it’s been one of their own. It’s been crickets,” Miller added. “And it’s disappointing, because this league has been built on the shoulders of the players being advocates. Right is right and wrong is wrong. And if you’re gonna call out owners, and rightfully so, then you’ve got to call out players as well. You can’t go silent in terms of this for Kyrie Irving. I want to hear the players and their strong opinions as well, just as we heard about Robert Sarver and Donald Sterling.”

Statement from Adam Silver.

That will teach him.

"I'm disappointed" doesn't even work with my eight year old son.

Yeah, they've certainly seemed to have botched this situation. Not sure what the heck is going thru Silver's head.

Blank square for me, does anyone have the text?

“Kyrie Irving made a reckless decision to post a link to a film containing deeply antisemitic material,” Silver said in a statement released by the league. “While we appreciate the fact that he agreed to work with the Brooklyn Nets and the Anti-Defamation League to combat antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, I am disappointed that he has not offered an unqualified apology and more specifically denounced the vile and harmful content contained in the film he chose to publicize. I will be meeting with Kyrie in person next week to discuss the situation.”

Yeah.  I'd like to see him step into Roger Goodell territory here.
