On Sunday, Boston Celtics Player Jaylen Brown took to Twitter to clear up some comments he made that appeared to support the Black Hebrew Israelites that gathered outside the Barclays Center ahead of Kyrie Irving’s return to the court.
“I was not aware of what specific group that was outside of Barclay’s Center tonight,” Brown tweeted. “I was celebrating the unification of our people welcoming the return of Kyrie to the court, At first glance, I thought it was a known fraternity, the (C/Que’s) Omega psi phi (step’n) showing support.”
Brown had initially tweeted “Energy” in response to a video of the Black Hebrew Israelites.
“To All of you that are standing next to me on this Journey, I want to say thank you, I love you, and I honor your fearlessness and bravery,” Irving tweeted. “You motivate me more than you know. Now, Let’s build and celebrate one another.”
