Kyrie was clearly trying to explain himself but nick kept saying "promoting".

Listen to the entire interview
nikka, I listened to the entire thing. You guys just need to admit you’re sympathetic to his Hebrew Israelite beliefs and stop pretending everyone else is illiterate or hard of hearing. It’s getting frustrating and we can’t even have an honest conversation. If I post something on my social media account, I am sharing it with my followers and encouraging them to look into it. If a Nîgga posted a birth of a nation and said I just googled some shyt and the title sounded interesting, would you take him seriously? All you of you are hiding hands instead of owning shyt. The reporter was actually trying to do him a favor and he wouldn’t let him finish. He was given a chance to help himself and distance himself from previous perceptions and it worked and then he got upset about being pressed on it. If that was a white dude trying to dance about posting some shyt that said some false stuff about black people, you would be applauding a brother who forced him to say what parts he disagreed with. Even if I disagree, I respect that @CHICAGO owns his beliefs. The rest of you guys playing dumb.

I don’t have a bone to pick with anyone.

He’s not even providing well thought out criticism or questioning.

Just low information contrarian stuff he can’t even explain it stand by.

He doesn’t owe it to the media, who obviously have a vested interest in who are Hebrews and who aren’t to explain anything tho as they’ll just twist it. And they already did that when he posted it and they called it “anti semetic” without substantiating what exactly is “anti semetic” about it

But that’s what Ky is doing.

It’s like some throwing stones and hiding his hands shyt.

Ky knows he has a huge platform which is why he posts the things he does.

But then he always wants to play like he doesn’t necessarily agree with the things he posts, he’s just posting them for “enlightenment” and somehow posting things to his huge platfrom isn’t “promoting” them. That’s exactly what he’s doing. He even said “i posted it for the people……” that’s literally “promoting” it.

It was explained to him all the way back during the flat world stuff. You can’t just say stuff and throw it out there as a public figure and not be expected to stand by it.
He literally said he has a big platform and he’s posting it for people and then said I’m just posting it and I don’t have power in a 20 second span.

What’s so odd about him?
Well he promoted a book about hebrews but he’s Muslim. Then when the dude asked him why he promoted it, he said he didn’t , he just posted it on social media ( which is promotion).

The man also claimed the earth was flat

Lost a max extension because he didn’t wanna get the vax, maybe not odd to u but odd to me.

Listen to the entire interview

Dudes used promoting twice - Kyrie didn't say anything the first time he used it then lost his shyt the 2nd. What you mean? ::what:

Whole thing is dumb and disingenuous and this nikka is annoying as shyt. "Promoting" isn't just doing press for some shyt the way he was acting and he knows it. He's a household name athlete and is pulling this we all the same shyt to not be accountable. Bet money he wouldn't go on his Twitter just casually posting Adidas shyt as a Nike athlete. Corny.

I see it both ways...Ive generally stood with kyrie on most things, him against SAS and espn, him choosing to be unvaxxed, my only issue is bro you cant think people arnt gonna ask you questions about material thats anti-semetic or stuff related to alex jones period.....like that comes with it my guy you're not me you have a platform
