It is not new to see fans recriminate their NBA stars. The proximity to the boards make the confrontations much more direct. A few months ago, some fans wished LeBron James’ children dead. This Monday 17 in January saw a similar confrontation, but this time the aggressor was a basketball player.

The incident featured Kyrie Irving and took place at the Quicken Loans Arena, during the game between Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers. The fans managed to get the NBA star out of their boxes by indicating that his performance depends on his former teammate, LeBron.

“Do you need LeBron?”, they questioned the Australian point guard. To this question, Kyrie Irving responded aggressively: “I gave you a championship and you sons of bitches are still ungrateful.”

The exchange of words continued as the match unfolded. The same fan criticized him that it was only a title and the Australian continued to respond hotly: “Keep it and save it.”

However, in this small exchange of words the one who was affected he was Brooklyn’s star point guard. Kyrie Irving was sanctioned by the NBA for alleging that the player used “obscene language directly against a fan.” The Australian must pay a fine of $25,000, a great cost for falling for provocations.
