‘Black NBA players shouldn’t mock Nate Robinson’: Floyd Mayweather chastizes Stephen Curry and co for insensitive comments

Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. urged black NBA players to lay off Robinson and band together as a race through social media.

Mayweather’s Instagram post makes for a moving read:

“Nate, I’m proud of you and I will always stand behind all my brothers. I will never kick my brother when he’s down. It’s ok for people to voice their opinions on social media, but no black athletes or black entertainers, especially black NBA players should make a mockery out of you.”

“We are supposed to all stand with each other through the good, bad and ugly. I’m here to uplift you and let you know we all love you and congratulate you for just making an effort.”

“SIDENOTE: The times I’ve had issues with another brother is when they came at me first. I was just defending myself.”
