Kyrie Irving has received widespread criticism for recently promoting an antisemitic film on social media. However, he seemingly realized his mistake and sent an apology message to the world. Additionally, Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Anti-Defamation League joined forces for a noble cause and contributed to society to raise awareness. But the NBA world on Twitter doesn’t seem so convinced with it and presented their disbelief.

Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets will each donate $500,000. Furthermore, the donations will be used in supporting causes and organizations dedicated to eradicating hatred and intolerance in communities. Moreover, the team will collaborate with the Anti-Defamation League, a non-profit organization that combats antisemitism, hatred, and unfair justice for individuals and communities.
