Kyrie Irving responds to Celtics hate with Instagram manifesto

BOSTON – Even when he’s not in the game – or even the state – Kyrie Irving dominates the news.

Irving missed a seventh straight game with a shoulder impingement, and didn’t travel with the Nets for Wednesday’s loss at Boston. But after Celtics fans hurled invectives at his teammates in his absence, Irving pushed back.

“It happens all the time and Tonight just shows how Sports/Entertainment will always be ignorant and obtrusive. It’s one big SHOW that means very little in the real world,” Irving said in a lengthy Instagram post.
