Nets’ Kyrie Irving hit with $25,000 fine for cursing at heckler in Cleveland
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving was fined $25,000 by the NBA for cursing at a fan in Cleveland, the league announced on Thursday.
Irving’s comments to the fan during the second quarter of Brooklyn’s 114-107 loss on Monday were captured on video. Irving used profanity in reminding the fan that he helped the Cavaliers win the NBA championship in 2016.
“Got y’all a championship and motherfuckers still ungrateful,” Irving could be heard saying in a clip that has since gone viral.
Kyrie chirped back at this Cavs fan heckling him.
