It was inevitable that LeBron James would be asked about Kyrie Irving’s sharing of an anti-Semitic documentary. James said he has “love” for Irving, but that Irving’s actions “caused some harm to a lot of people”.
“It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, how tall you are, what position you’re in. If you are promoting or soliciting or saying harmful things to any community that harms people, then I don’t respect it,” James said. “I don’t condone it.”
James said he doesn’t know what steps Irving should take to find a resolution.
“I don’t know the direction, the steps that he takes, but he’s apologized for what he said and I hope that he understands that what he said was harmful to a lot of people,” James said. “And we as humans, none of us are perfect, but I hope he understands what he did and the actions that he took are just harmful to a lot of people.”
