Amar’e Stoudemire Calls For Kyrie Irving To Apologize, ‘You Made A Mistake’

Former NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire — who transformed to Judaism in 2020 — desires Kyrie Irving to own up to his actions and excuse tweeting out a link to a film filled with antisemitic rhetoric … stating the Brooklyn Nets guard slipped up.

STAT resolved the debate surrounding Irving on ESPN’s “Get Up” Wednesday early morning … stating, “You have to give an apology because if you’re going to promote a documentary that has false allegations inside of it, and you may not understand that these allegations that’s inside the documentary are false, okay, you made a mistake, right? So apologize for it.”

39-year-old Stoudemire states Kyrie developed an issue by not revealing any remorse over the scenario … and is providing the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver no option however to check out it.

“I think something has to happen, intensive conversations with the commissioner about what he’s doing and what his plans are as a basketball player.”

As for whether Kyrie must be suspended over the entire experience, Amar’e — who formerly worked as an assistant for the Nets — is on the fence.

“I mean, Kyrie’s a guy who’s trying to find himself,” he included. “He’s always on this quest for learning and information. And if you’re not totally understanding what you’re learning and what you’re trying to promote, then just don’t promote it. Just learn quietly and try to figure it out.”

“But once you start putting information out there that’s not true, then now it creates a problem.”

Amar’e has actually pursued Irving in the past … stating the guard’s choice to not get the COVID-19 vaccine impacted the group’s chemistry.

Irving has actually been at the center of criticism for how he’s dealt with the reaction … with both Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal calling him an “idiot” on TNT’s “Inside The NBA.”

Nike — Kyrie’s most significant sponsor — launched a declaration concerning the matter … knocking hate speech of any kind.

“At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech, and we condemn any form of antisemitism,” the Swoosh stated on Tuesday.

TMZ Sports talked to Amar’e about antisemitism back in 2020 … when the six-time All-Star informed us he wished to “bridge the gap” in between Black and Jewish individuals after remarks made by Nick Cannon and NFLer DeSean Jackson — for which they asked forgiveness.
