At a recent NBA game, four Jews attending the event proudly displayed signs expressing their pride in their religious identity. Their display caught the attention of one of the players, Kyrie Irving, who took issue with it.
Rabbi Avremi Zippel explained that he had come to greet Irving, who was making a comeback after an injury.
The signs being held read, “I’m a Jew and I’m proud,” featuring a Magen Dovid in place of the “o” in proud.
Irving, visibly disturbed by the display, remarked during the first timeout, “No need to bring that to a game.”
Subsequently, at the next timeout, he summoned security personnel, who approached the Jews, checked their tickets, and instructed them to put away the signs.
This incident is not the first time Irving has been involved in controversy. Two years ago, he faced accusations of antisemitism for sharing a link to a film promoting black supremacy that contained antisemitic content.

Why were they told to remove their signs? What offense were they? How dare the security personnel listen to one ordinary citizen over another? What offense was it? I guess if they blocked to roads to the airports that would have been okay! Or likely not and only because it’s on the wrong side of the issue!
Curious, would that Irving player been offended if their signs had read “From The River To The Sea?
Sure, I get it. You can display signs calling for the genocide of innocent Jewish civilians but you can’t make a multi billion dollar African American basketball player “uncomfortable” or hurt his “feelings”. Welcome to democrat controlled America.
WOULD HE DO THE SAME FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A CROSS?
These Lubavitchers shouldn’t be raitzing in these anti semitic shvartzas. Ditto for Ye.
Some Yidden forgot that we’re still in Golus…
Who cares
If you care at all about this clown then his garbage is deserving
So what’s a proud Jew doing by a infamous Jew haters game??????
Irving never got vaccinated. Not good.
He may be a hater. But this incident has nothing to do with it. In fact, I have issue with Jews doing that. It’s not part of game and atmosphere for religious or political things. It kinda is asking for it when they sick out like that. Drawing attention like that in such settings is creating problems and really is not the way of modest Jew. Writing these stories this way on your end also incites hate and negativity. What are these guys doing at a game anyway?
Zippel and the other Chabad-Lubavitch clowns there should not engage in such stunts.
Such stadiums are not a place for ehrliche Yidden.
Going to see mayhem is drastic growth of the animal side of a man.
These Jews are provoking a man who could otherwise be viewed gang out.
Nu?
These are not yid with state of being.
They are bagel smoochers.
