Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is always bringing the drama, and in game 4 in Boston, he didn’t disappoint. Kyrie appeared to send a message to the Boston Celtics and their fans immediately after the team’s Game 4 victory on Sunday night. Before Irving had a water bottle hurled toward him while heading back to the locker room, he appeared to stomp and scrape his foot on the face of the Celtics logo while greeting his teammates as the clock hit triple zeroes.

“(It’s) just underlying racism, and treating people like they’re in a human zoo,” Irving said.

“Throwing stuff at people, saying things. There’s a certain point where it gets to be too much. You see people just feel very entitled out here. … As a Black man playing in the NBA, dealing with a lot of this stuff, it’s fairly difficult. You never know what’s going to happen.”

Kyrie speaks on having a water bottle thrown at him.

‘People just feel very entitled out here… it's a reflection on us as a whole when you have fans acting like that.’
