Irving and Nets defeated Celtics in Game two of playoff series
Kyrie Irving along with also the Brooklyn Nets will visit Boston to confront the Celtics for another few matches within their first-round playoff series.
Irving was asked Tuesday night following the Nets’ Game 2 win that which he expected in his most recent return to TD Garden and at an increased atmosphere. Irving noted that it was not his first time playing in Boston from the Celtics, but he expected to get a minumum of one thing.
“So I am just excited about competing with my teammates and we can only keep it rigorously basketball, there is no belligerence or some other racism happening, lively racism and people yelling (things ) in the audience,” he explained. “But if it’s, it is a part of the character of the sport and we are just going to concentrate on that which we can control”
He was subsequently asked if he had something like this before.
“I am not the only person who could attest to the, but it’s what it is. The entire world understands.”
Irving is not the only professional athlete to talk about alleged racist adventures while playing in front of fans from Boston.
Former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones especially needed a racist experience whilst playing at Fenway Park in 2017. He explained in the time lovers were calling him that the N-word and throwing peanuts .
