    Kyrie Hopes Boston Will Show No Racism Towards Him

    After Tuesday's Game 2 win over the Celtics, he explained to reporters that he hoped to not experience any racism from fans in the stands at TD Garden on Friday.

    "I am just looking forward to competing with my teammates and hopefully, we can just keep it strictly basketball; there's no belligerence or racism going on -- subtle racism," Irving said. "People yelling s--- from the crowd, but even if it is, it's part of the nature of the game and we're just going to focus on what we can control."

    When asked if he had ever heard racist comments at TD Garden, Irving responded by saying he "was not the only one that can attest to this," before shrugging. Many athletes through several generations have spoken about experiencing racism in Boston, ranging from local heroes like Bill Russell in the 1960s to opposing players like Adam Jones in modern times.

    Kyrie has spent too much time around KD & Lebron

    There’s nothing like going to a game and calling players names and their families names that’s part of it

    Kyrie is so insufferable, funny the other day he couldn't talk about the game cause there were soooo much bigger things going on in the world.

    Like Liz Cambage in the WNBA he complains about everything. By today's standards he's pretty special.

    Oh poor multi millionaire baby. Cry me a river Kyrie.. Poor little fella..

    Shut up and dribble. Wear ear plugs and do your job if that's the case which I don't think it will be. Racial slurs in the NBA can get your asss kicked even as a fan in the stands now.

    Kyrie is just like Lebron he can’t do anything without creating drama and trying to get extra attention

    Yup.. Sticks and stones hurt much more then a few name calling words shouted by drunk fans if that's the case.

    Go out, man up and play hard and win the game and shut them up if you are offended. Actions speak louder then words Kyrie you dumb ass!!
