Charles Barkley Says NBA Should’ve Suspended ‘Idiot’ Kyrie Irving Over Tweet

Charles Barkley states the NBA flubbed its handling of the most current Kyrie Irving drama … describing Tuesday night he thinks the league ought to’ve suspended the Nets star over his questionable tweet.

Barkley didn’t mince words while discussing the circumstance on “Inside the NBA” — calling Irving an “idiot” … and blasting the Association for not dropping the hammer on the point guard.

“I believe Adam [Silver] must have suspended him,” Barkley stated. “First of all, Adam is Jewish — you can’t take my $40 million and insult my religion. You gonna insult me, you have the right, but I have the right to say, ‘You can’t take my $40 million and insult my religion.'”

“I think the NBA, they made a mistake.”

Of course, Silver did not level penalty on Irving … in spite of the basketball gamer tweeting out a link to “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” a motion picture loaded with antisemitic rhetoric.

Irving never ever excused sharing it … and, in reality, 2 days after sending out the tweet, he entered into a tiff with a press reporter who had actually recommended he had actually been “promoting” the movie on his platform.

Irving did, however, ultimately remove the tweet. He likewise stated in a different tweet he is not antisemitic.

But, Barkley’s co-host, Shaq, had concerns with it all also … calling Irving an “idiot” too.

Meanwhile, throughout TNT’s broadcast of the Nets vs. Bulls video game … Reggie Miller, who was commentating the video game, stated he was dissatisfied there was not a singing protest from gamers in the league over everything.
