The Nets have enabled and empowered Kyrie Irving long enough. Now Irving has gone too far, and it’s on the Nets to make this right. It’s on the Nets to tell Irving that posting a link to a clearly anti-Semitic movie is one bridge too far, no matter how much he claims, after the fact, that he “embrace(s) and want(s) to learn from all walks of life and religions.”

And that this junk isn’t tolerated in New York City.

The Nets have twisted themselves into pretzels for three years trying to accommodate their capricious point guard. They’ve made compromises large and small. Some have been admirable — allowing a leave of absence two years ago to deal with mental health issues.

Some have been downright cynical — taking a hard line on his anti-vaccination status last season until the moment it threatened to sink the season, welcoming him back for road games after initially telling him to stay away.

And some have been straight despicable — Irving’s fingerprints were all over the firing of Ken Atkinson, who had the temerity to actually try and coach Irving rather than serve as a happy-talk enabler which has been Steve Nash’s task.

So owner Joe Tsai and GM Sean Marks have been unwittingly and inevitably building a pathway to this latest firestorm from the moment they agreed to bring Irving to Brooklyn to ensure Kevin Durant’s signature on a contract back in July 2019.

Forget that the on-court product has been laughably lacking, the latest example a 1-5 start to this season in which the Nets have clearly tuned out Nash and apparently made a team-wide pact to not guard a single opponent at any time this season.

Now Irving is back in the spotlight, again for all the wrong reasons, after tweeting a link to the Amazon page for the movie “Hebrews to Negroes,” which among other vile narratives suggests a connection between Judaism and devil worship. But if you watch the film, that’s only one of many troubling tropes.

Early on, a narrator-less text appears on the screen attributing a quote (widely discredited by the Anti-Defamation League as a fabrication) to Harold Wallace Rosenthal, an aide for New York Sen. Jacob Javits, presented without context or comment:

“The Jews have established five major falsehoods which work to conceal their nature and protect their status and power, to wit: 1) The Jews are “Israelites,” and thus God’s chosen people; 2) Jesus Christ was a Jew; 3) That 6 million people were killed in a holocaust during WWII; 4) That all races are equal, or that all are brothers; and 5) That the Jews are just another religious group.”

Later, the movie cites a quote it attributes to Adolf Hitler, saying among other things: “Because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the real children of Israel and to keep America’s secret the Jews will blackmail America. They will extort America, their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they are.”

Irving didn’t only refuse to back away from posting this, he doubled down defiantly after the Nets’ latest on-court humiliation, a 125-116 loss to the Pacers at Barclays Center on Saturday, saying “I had a lot of time last year to read.”

“I’m not going to stand down on anything I believe,” Irving said, and that includes a past tweet supporting conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ belief of a “New World Order,” much of which is also rooted in anti-Semitism. “I’m only going to get stronger because I’m not alone. I have a whole army around me.”

Later, Irving added, “You guys come in here and make up this powerful influence I have.”

But Irving has 4.6 million followers on Twitter. He has 17.5 million followers on Instagram. That is the very definition of “influence,” and Irving knows that as well as anyone or he wouldn’t use those forums. And Irving, of course, is free to feel and express anything he pleases; he will not be carted off to jail no matter how vile the opinions he either espouses or endorses. That’s freedom of speech.

But freedom of speech does not equate to freedom from consequence. Sports is littered with examples of people who’ve been forced to answer for behavior that insults our balance of proper and improper: Donald Sterling, Robert Sarver, John Rocker, Meyers Leonard. Irving is no different.

And Irving also happens to play for a team representing a city — and a borough — with a large Jewish population, with a fan base that will be taking a close look at what happens from here.

That part should be obvious. At the least, the Nets need to put Irving on paid leave. But, really, the time is overdue to simply part ways with him. It’s fine if Joe Tsai wants to criticize Irving on social media, which he did. But in the end that’s a toothless gesture.

We live in a sporting world where on Saturday night an impossible-to-believe dispatch somehow found its way to a stadium message board in Jacksonville, Fla., where Georgia and Florida played a college football game, reading: “Kanye was right about the Jews.”

The artist now known as Ye has already had his reckoning for those views. It’s time Irving receives the same for helping further similar ones. There’s no place for that anywhere. Especially not in New York City.
