"He's someone I've known for a decade," Silver told the outlet, "and I've never heard an anti-Semitic word from him or, frankly, any hate directed at a group."
Silver asked to meet Irving after the basketball player tweeted a link to "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America!" -- a film filled with anti-Semitic tropes.
