Fans, media, and analysts have been tearing into Irving for sharing a movie that is alleged to have antisemitic material. And amidst all this, Irving has been getting support from rapper Kanye West, who has been facing some serious backlash lately as well for similar issues.
Kanye West calls out yet another NBA legend
Many companies have since ended their partnership and relationship with the polarizing figure. But that doesn?t seem to slow him down. West recently posted a picture of Kyrie Irving and Stephen A. Smith on his Instagram account, seemingly in a show of support for them.
That ended up causing West a lot of heat as well. Now after beefing with Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O?Neal, Kanye has decided to call out another NBA legend, Amar?e Stoudemire.
Stoudemire played 14 seasons in the NBA with four different teams. He played the majority of his career alongside Steve Nash at the Phoenix Suns. He was also the assistant coach for the Brooklyn Nets until he decided to part ways.
Kanye West ended up calling out Amar?e Stoudemire?s comments regarding Kyrie Irving. He tweeted, ?They make us attack each other Even our brothers who know who we truly are.?
