Kyrie Irving SHUTS down LeBron James heckle with obscene response – video

The Celtics grabbed their first win of the season yesterday after two defeats to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Irving was key to Boston registering the win, filling the stat sheet with 21 points and six rebounds.

But despite the win, Irving could be in hot water with NBA officials for an altercation he had with a 76ers fan who wanted a reaction from the four-time All-Star – and got one.

The fan shouted down to Irving after the game “Kyrie, where’s LeBron?” And that prompted a swift response from Irving telling the heckler to “s*** my d***”.

Irving was questioned about the exchange with the Sixers fan earlier today and when asked whether he regretted how he responded, he said: “Hell no.

”[The fan was] man enough to record it on video, then that’s all him. 

“I’m glad he got his [social media] name out there and then, kinda, 5 seconds of fame and it going viral — that’s the social media platform we live on. 

“I take full responsibility what I said and excuse (to) the kids at home and you move on.”

“At the end of the day, we’re human. It’s in heat of the moment and frustrations arise, we were at halftime, we were down by 4, in an environment, a season-opener in Philly. 

“Being with a young team like we have here and staying composed, handling that before we go in the locker room and addressing what we have to do in the locker room and going out and handling business and getting the W, that’s really the only thing that matters to me.

“It’s up to the league at this point. But, like I said, I’m going to take full responsibility for what I said. I don’t have any regrets for it.”
