INDEPENDENCE, OHIO– When Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics, the first thing on most fans’ minds was the opening night showdown between the Celtics and the Cavaliers scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday night.
As first reported by cleveland.com, the Cavs are planning to honor Irving with some sort of “thank you” video tribute.
How that will be received is anyone’s guess.
No one is denying how much Irving did for the city. He was the fourth No. 1 draft pick in the history of the franchise, a four-time NBA All-Star, and he hit the biggest shot in Cavaliers history during Game 7 of the 2016 Finals.
