To his credit, he might be the smartest player on the team because he’s not on social media. [#Nets](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Nets): “I don’t think our group is overly effected by the situation. Said he’s not familiar with the material Kyrie was promoting, but said the Nets promote equality. Nash says the organization has spoken to Kyrie about the movie/book he promoted on his social media accounts. “I don’t think our group is overly effected by the situation. but the Simmons trade was a catastrophe, Kyrie is one of the biggest week to week distractions in recent NBA history, and the front office has absolutely stunk for two-plus years. I have no patience for fools, Stans or the clowns who tolerate hate speech just because they used to hoop/rap well. I have a whole army around me.”

In a pre-game press conference, Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving got into a heated debate with a reporter over his recent controversial post.

Later that night Irving dropped 35 points against the Pacers in the game, but it was not enough for the Nets as they lost 125-116. And later added, “You put things out there for a living”. The tweet soon caught traction on the internet and Irving faced a lot of backlash from the media and supporters. I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving doubled down on his decision to share an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory from Alex Jones.

“You put things out there for a living, right?” ET — A previous version of this article incorrectly stated Jones made the documentary “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.” He promoted it, but did not make it. “And it’s true.” This post has been updated. “I put it out there, just like you put things out there, right?” Irving said. The film contains [numerous anti-Semitic tropes](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/kyrie-irving-boosts-antisemitic-movie-peddling-jewish-slave-ships-theory-1234620125/), and theorizes that some in the government are seeking to enslave people by releasing viruses.

Kyrie Irving didn't back down from the latest controversy he found himself entangled in following the Nets' latest loss on Saturday night.

“My post was a post from Alex Jones that he did in the early ’90s or late ’90s about secret societies in America of occults. All I do is post things for my people and my community and for those that it’s actually going to impact. … I’m in a unique position to have a level of influence on my community and what I post does not mean I support everything that is being said or everything that’s being done or I’m campaigning for anything. The 2018 movie was based on a book of the same name first published in 2014. It was on Friday when Rolling Stone first published a report on the film and the antisemitic tropes throughout it. Last week, Irving shared on his social media platforms a film that is viewed as antisemitic and since then has received backlash, including denunciations from Nets owner Joe Tsai and the NBA.

[a statement](https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1586495564400713728) that, while not naming Irving, said, “Hate speech of any kind is unacceptable and runs counter to the NBA’s values of equality, inclusion and respect. “I’m free to post whatever I want.” However, “My post was a post that Alex Jones did in the early ’90s or late ’90s about secret societies in America and cults,” Irving said. It just goes back to the way our world is and works. I’m only going to get stronger because I’m not alone. I’m no different from the next human being so don’t treat me any different.

It additionally refers to the "Jewish controlled news media" while pushing tropes that "European Jews gained control of our thinking" by "using control of our money and the Mass Media." And it's true." 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. I have a whole army around me," Irving added. The documentary then falsely attributes a fabricated quote relaying supposed Jewish control over society to "Ashkenazi Jew" Harold Rosenthal, an aide to the late Sen. The film also decries mass media as "the biggest tool of indoctrination, brainwashing and propaganda that the world has seen" and that it has been "helping Satan deceive the world" for centuries.

Kyrie Irving complained that the media doesn't understand why he posted an antisemitic documentary while refusing to answer questions about it.

This team was supposed to compete for a championship with Kevin Durant and Irving and Ben Simmons, but instead they’re one of the worst teams in the NBA so far. Irving is having an incredible individual start to the season, averaging more than 30 points per game so far, but he keeps overshadowing his immense talent by spreading false and discriminatory anti-logic.
