    This meeting is going to go so badly that it will end in a suspension lmao

    If only Adam Silver had the power to do something about this.

  3. fucking-stagmire

    Pussy ass response lmfao.

    Am I going crazy here? How has he A) not been punished B) have a legion of morons PUBLICALLY defending him for posting blatantly racist shit? The fact that he hasn’t even been fined by the league or the Nets for spreading that shit is just insanity.

    Actual middle school vibes going on rn

    “Now now Kyrie, just put out some fake apology you don’t actually mean and I won’t be pressured into suspending you and slapping you with a fine that’s pocket change to you”

  6. RichardIraVos

    why? needs to get kyrie side of the story or something??

  7. jrlandry

    Can we have the Silver & Kyrie discussion live on the NBA App?

  8. Duh_Grinch

    I’m sure a stern talking to will do the trick with such a reasonable person…

  9. thy_armageddon

    Adam Silver was thrown a bunch of soft pitches early on in his career and now that he’s had to do his actual job we get to see he’s basically just X-Files Roger Goodell.

    “I will be meeting with Kyrie to inform him that I will take no action against him, as I have a smooth fleshy patch where my testicles used to be”

    -Adam Silver

    I got sources saying Kyrie has sent his envoy to meet with Adam Silver and will not be attending this meeting himself.

  12. lazzysmalls

    I don’t think Kyrie will back down, he may apologize for his tweet but overall he’s going into the meeting like he does every room, as the smartest guy

  13. fuzzynavel34

    “He better apologize to my face or else”

  14. Aaaaaaandyy

    If there’s not a globe on the desk between them to mess with Kyrie up I’m going to be upset

  15. ImTheOldManJenks

    Well, that’s actually a pretty good response to start. If he doesn’t back down they should suspend him.

    Silver: “Let me get this straight, you think that antisemitism is funny?”

    Kyrie: “I do. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not.”

  17. If this were any other B-tier player, Silver wouldn’t have even met them in person. Just suspend the damn dude.

    First order of business is of course taking away two picks from the Sixers for doing what every team in the league does.

  19. NotAProfessorFr

    Hell yeah. Nothing better than a group of men policing another man’s words. Honestly, we have no place in America for mean words.

    “I know we just had “BLM” all over our courts and jerseys, but this specific black guy isn’t acting how we want him to. He needs to shutup and dribble and be a good boy!”

    Adam used the PA system to call Kyrie to the principals office

  21. Uncircled_swag2

    I still haven’t seen a single player call him out. [Kuzma tweeted and deleted this earlier.](https://i.imgur.com/fezcU6W.jpg) Kinda obvious a lot of players agree with Kyrie, a lot of fans agree with it too.

    I don’t understand how antisemitism is becoming normalized but all of this is just so disappointing as an NBA fan (not that they care but still).

  22. Adam, you’re going to be meeting his parents, not him.

  23. First the parent teacher confrence and now kyrie is being sent to talk with the principal. It’s insane that a 30 year old man is so immature and egotistical that he needs to have a meeting with the commissioner to discuss why racism is bad.

  25. lord_jamonington

    Adam silver is a little dick having coward

  26. sportsinaround

    People on Twitter are talking about how the people calling out Kyrie are s*preading propaganda* to ruin his name. You can’t make this shit up.

    I wonder what would happen if the one Jewish player in the NBA hypothetically went out of his way to share a video about the toll of slavery being made up and further suggested black people of a particular background are forming secret societies to take over the world not to mention are making efforts to bury the true origins of his background.

    Would be out of the league before he even left his seat.

  27. pskill43

    Kyrie being the VP of the players association says a lot about NBA players

  28. Silver is Jewish so that’ll be interesting

  29. 580_farm

    As a Jew I’m absolutely gobsmacked how many antisemitic jerks have sprouted out of the woodwork, and how he’s managed to not get suspended at the very least.

  30. MrAngryPineapple

    Kyrie got sent to the principal’s office

  31. Lazarus704

    I don’t really see Kyrie changing his stance to be honest lol
