The 37-year-old veteran believes that the point guard has already apologized for his deeds and that he should already be released to play on the court.

“I don’t advocate sharing information that hurts other people, and I certainly won’t change that stance. But Kyrie has already properly apologized and thus should be cleared to play. It’s that simple. Everyone should help him educate himself on the subject, but not take him off the court for that”highlighted LeBron on his twitter.

In addition, the wing criticized the “list” of items to be fulfilled by Kyrie (such as awareness courses and donation to Jewish entities) until he could redeem himself with the North American basketball league. “I think what has been asked of Kyrie to return to the court, in short, seems excessive. And I can tell everyone, without a doubt, that this guy is not the negative image that has been publicized.”he explained.

REMEMBER THE CASE
