Shannon Sharpe says it’s time to surpass the most recent Kyrie Irving debate … informing TMZ Sports that the Nets star’s mea culpa suffices for him to be prepared “move on” from everything.
Sharpe described his position on the matter to us out at LAX on Friday … stating now that Irving’s apologized — and both NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Brooklyn owner Joe Tsai have actually considered him to be not antisemitic — he’s down to put the entire legend in the past.

Adam Silver, Nets Owner Joe Tsai Sure Kyrie Irving Is Not Antisemitic After Meetings
“He’s done what they asked him to do,” the Hall of Famer stated. “He’s apologized.”
Sharpe did acknowledge that Irving’s apology might not have actually been as timely as some individuals would have liked — however he went on to state it’s still enough in his eyes.
“Hopefully, he meets with some of the people that were offended by the link he posted,” Sharpe stated, “and then, yeah, I agree, I’m ready to move on.”
As we reported, after Irving tweeted out a link to the antisemitic movie “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America!” and after that declined to excuse it … he was struck with an indefinite suspension by the Nets.
But, because that time, Irving has actually stated he’s sorry … and obviously had efficient conferences and discussions with both Silver and Tsai about everything today.
Clearly, Sharpe — who has actually been vital of Irving on FS1’s “Undisputed” in the past — thinks that’s all enough.
“You said he needed to apologize,” Sharpe stated. “He’s done that.”
