<\/figure>\n In the aftermath of Kanye West\u2019s antisemitic rants, Kyrie Irving did what instigators do. He obtained busy pouring gasoline on flaming scorching tensions, then pretended to be an harmless bystander when the lights got here on. Basic residence coaching dictates Irving ought to have apologized profusely on day one simply to flee this information cycle from hell, however the Nets\u2019 cantankerous level guard by no means makes something simple.<\/p>\n Nearly per week after Irving tweeted the hyperlink to a trailer for the 2018 film \u201cHebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America\u201d on Amazon Prime Video, which makes a number of absurd and offensive claims about Jews, Irving flailed so badly in making amends that Commissioner Adam Silver requested his presence for a one-on-one assembly<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n Instead, Irving refused and doubled down telling the media over the weekend, \u201cI\u2019m only going to get stronger because I\u2019m not alone.
