Reggie Miller spoke his mind about NBA players' lack of response to Kyrie Irving and his antisemitic comments.
The NBA Players Association, which Irving currently serves as vice president of the executive committee, released a statement on Monday but did not include Irving by name.
"Anti-Semitism has no place in our society," the statement said."The NBPA is focused on creating an environment where everyone is accepted. We are committed to helping players fully understand that certain words can lead to hateful ideologies being spread. We will continue to work on identifying and combating all hate speech whenever it arises.""It’s disappointing, because this league has been built on the shoulders of the players being advocates," Miller said.
"I think he should have been suspended. I think Adam should have suspended him," Barkley said."First of all, Adam is Jewish. You can’t take my $40 million and insult my religion." Shaquille O'Neal also called Irving out, stating he's an"idiot" for causing division within the game. "The game we used to love, and we promote it brings people together," O’Neal said."And it hurts me sometimes when we have to sit up here to talk about stuff that divides the game. Now we got to answer for what this idiot has done."Contact Analis Bailey at [email protected] or on Twitter @
