Seeking forgiveness after the anti-Semitic scandal he sparked, Kyrie Irving spoke lately on soap opera Shanquella Robinson, whose disturbing circumstances of death last month shocked Americans.
NBA fans still remember the details of the case that got him away from the courts and the Nets. Accused of anti-Semitism after promoting a controversial documentary, Kyrie Irving is finally preparing to return to the field. Meanwhile, he’s not only made sure to make amends with his leaders, but he’s also seen his name appear on another far more gruesome soap opera.
Kyrie Irving’s nice gesture for Shanquella Robinson
For a few hours now, the US media have dedicated their front pages to the deceased Shanquella Robinson, found dead on October 29 in Mexico. Presumed to have died of excessive drinking according to initial reports, the young American was actually killed during a fight, a viral video of her attack suggests. So her family is trying to get justice, and she got a big boost from Kyrie:

Kyrie Irving donated $65,000 to Shanquella Robinson’s family
While a kitten was recently created to help Shanquella’s parents financially in their search for the truth, Irving then decided to reach into his pocket and contribute to their cause. A commendable attention, which Internet users have hastened to relaunch massively on social networks. However, this still does not allow him to reach unanimity:
Bro, that’s like $2 for him

This man has given when he shouldn’t have, to a family in the throes of unspeakable horror, and people criticize him? People really need to look in the mirror

Did this man donate when he shouldn’t have, to a family facing unspeakable horror, and people find a way to criticize him? Some really should look in the mirror.
Shocked by Shanquella Robinson’s funeral case, Kyrie Irving didn’t want to stand idly by, and so he passed on a large sum of money to his grieving loved ones. What to attract the compliments of the fans… but also some reproaches.
