NBA Hall of Famers rip ‘idiot’ Kyrie Irving for anti-Semitic social media post

NBA Hall of Famers are speaking out about Kyrie Irving's recent actions. Last week, the Brooklyn Nets guard tweeted to promote the movie, "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America." The movie is known for being riddled with anti-Semitic themes and includes a quote linked to Hitler. Irving deleted the Thursday tweet on Sunday.

Kyrie Irving has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks on social media. NBA Hall of Famers Barkley, O'Neal and Steve Nash are critical of the NBA's handling of it. Neither the league nor the Nets have penalized Irving in any public manner.
