Talking about the sweep, former Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams bashed Kyrie Irving. Williams said, “On the court, I saw a guy who is passive. I didn’t see a guy who is aggressive, I didn’t see a guy who was playing like his back was against the wall and they were in a closeout game scenario.”

He further added, “After the game was over, I’m watching Kyrie on the floor and he’s hugging, and he’s smiling with his former teammates. After they have gotten swept!“

This is not the first time Williams has taken shots at a Nets star. Kevin Durant brutally dissed him last year following Williams’ comments regarding the Brooklyn Nets.

Taking to Instagram, Durant called the statement by Williams a lie under a post talking about the same. He further took shots at Jay on Twitter, accusing him of doing everything to advance in his media career.
