Irving’s conspiracy-dabbling has escalated to the point that it’s not only jeopardizing his career but is putting actual, real-life people in harm’s way. The Nets point guard has become so radicalized that he recently shared a movie with his 4.6 million Twitter followers that were so antisemitic that it at one point cited Adolf Hitler for proof that Jews have a plan for “world domination.” This came weeks after Irving shared an Alex Jones video purporting that there were “secret societies” in America – a claim he’s since said that he stands by – and a year after Irving refused to get the Covid-19 vaccine, which came after Rolling Stone reported that he “started following and liking Instagram posts from a conspiracy theorist who claims that ‘secret societies’ are implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for ‘a plan of Satan.’” He’s one of the most talented, skilled, aesthetically-pleasing basketball players any of us have ever seen he’s also, it would seem, completely out of his mind.
