Nike has suspended its relationship with Kyrie Irving and canceled its plans to release his next signature shoe, the latest chapter in the ongoing fallout since the Brooklyn Nets guard tweeted a link to a film containing antisemitic material.
The shoe giant announced Friday night that it will halt its relationship with Irving, who has been suspended by the Nets for what the team called a repeated failure to "unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs."

I think he is not playing with a full deck! Despite his talent, he's toxic and too self centered! He does not see the Big picture!

He also at times thinks that he is God's gift to Basketball! I hope he loses all of his endorsements, along with his silver spoon!
