#Mavs guard Kyrie Irving was asked about his offer to pay the $11,941 fine of Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who wrote the name of a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza on his eye black. “He's a friend of mine. He's a brother that I consider in this revolution that a lot of this generation is building. It's a selfless act when you can show up for others that don't necessarily have a voice for themselves. I believe some of that most of us know is happening around the world globally. And it's a lot of innocent people that are losing their lives and children, especially. Anytime there's a war or conflict, there's going to be unfortunate deaths and murders going on. And us here in America, we get the luxury of going to bed at night and have nice bedrooms and things paid for.”
