In the playoff rematch, the Boston Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets at the buzzer. With Kyrie Irving facing off against his former team, fans were not kind to KAI. They were going right at KAI throughout the night. While KAI had a great game, he gave back to fans in more than one way. Irving had enough of the slander as she flashed the middle finger at the Garden fans. However, fans did not stop there as they took to Twitter.

Before his tenure with the Nets, Irving was on the Celtics. His time was headlined with Kyrie failing to make a deep run in the playoffs. Moreover, his leadership also came to question as he was unable to utilize the young talent of Tatum and Brown. After promising to stay, Irving made his way out of Boston.

Hence, he isn’t the star in front of Celtics fans. Likewise, they made his time at the TD Garden rough.
