Follow Us
Kyrie Irving has been trying to bring a positive change following his recent controversy, which led to the Brooklyn Nets suspending Irving for at least five games. Irving faced severe global criticism after sharing a link to a film that included antisemitic tropes in it. Following the controversy, Irving made various adjustments to himself and contributed to society in the days after. Recently, he donated to the family of Shanquella Robinson, and his donation led to several reactions from the NBA world online.
There has recently been a mysterious case of Shanquella Robinson’s death in Mexico. It was reported that Robinson was seen being beaten in a video that has since gone viral on the internet. No further information has been released as the investigation into the tragic incident is still ongoing. In order to get justice for her, a donation campaign named “Justice for Quella” was started on gofundme.com. There are more than 1,000 donors and one of them is Kyrie Irving. Irving made a massive contribution by donating $65,000 to the campaign.
