Kyrie Irving didn’t seem to care for how fans in Boston were treating him during the Nets’ Game 1 loss to the Celtics in Sunday’s Eastern Conference Quarterfinal.
In fact, he made it abundantly clear that was the case. First, by flipping off fans multiple times over the course of his 39-point outing. Then by doubling down on his courtside interactions with his postgame comments.
“[If] somebody’s going to call me out of my name, I’m going to look at them straight in the eye and see if they’re really ’bout it,” Irving said. “Most of the time they’re not.”
