Kyrie Irving on Booing Celtics Fans: ‘It’s Like the Scorned Girlfriend’

After his team’s 126–120 loss to the Celtics on Sunday, Kyrie Irving took a shot at the fans of his former team. 

During the game against Boston, the team Irving left in 2019, fans at TD Garden booed their former star player. After the game, Irving addressed the boos. 

“I know it’s gonna be like that for the rest of my career coming in here,” Irving said. “It’s like the scorned girlfriend—just wants an explanation on why I left or still hoping for a text back. It’s fun while it lasted. That’s the relationship that makes it fun.”
