Hello everyone,

And Welcome to the brand new game show called "NBA fans do something stupid to get themself banned from future NBA games" and I am your host, Mr. Nahh B!

Today's contestant comes out of Boston.

Seriously though, we have yet another NBA fan acting unruly at another NBA Playoff game.

This time it happened not during, but at the end of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference round 1 matchup between the hosting Boston Celtics taking on the Brooklyn Nets where the Nets took home the victory 141 to 126.

The target of this game probably isn't surprising as it was Brooklyn star guard and Former Boston Celtic Kyrie Irving. A fan threw a water bottle at Kyrie as he was walking to the back into the locker room which thankfully missed. Not saying thankfully because it could have hurt Kyrie as I believe the plastic bottle was closer to empty than full, but saying thankfully because that fan would have been in a WORLD of legal issues if it hit Irving. The fan was ultimately arrested and there are plans to pursue a bunch of charges on him but I doubt it happens and that they just want to make an example out of him.

Anyways, This comes in a string of incidents involving single individual fans at live games acting out towards players, which you can read my articles on the other events right on my page if you'd like.

It's almost every day now during a Playoff game that something like this is happening. The NBA JUST started allowing fans back into the arenas and most at almost full capacity and we have overzealous fans doing things like this. Although I HIGHLY doubt the NBA would shut down arenas again due to this, I wouldn't be shocked if they minimized the size of attendance allowed at the games going forward which would SUCK for all the ticket holders of the closer seats all because of one bad apple *each game* has to ruin it for everyone else.

NOW, this specific incident does get a little juicier as the literal moments leading up to this we saw Kyrie Irving on the court in TD Garden at the end of the game giving handshakes to his teammates after the win, Then walk right to the Celtics logo right in the middle of the court and stomp on the head of the logo and smeared his foot off of it.

If you don't already know, Kyrie played for the Boston Celtics between the 2017-2019 seasons where he averaged about 24 points,5 assists, and 4 rebounds. When he was nearing the end of his contract while that time he seemed to want to stay in Boston and even announced during a live game that last year that he would stay if the team wanted to re-sign him and bring him back. Ultimately to leave and sign with the Brooklyn Nets which he is a part of now taking on his former team.

Was Kyrie disrespectful in doing what he did? 10000%. Even former Celtic and newly inducted Hall Of Famer *Congrats*, Kevin Garnet even felt it was unnecessary and posted on his Instagram story on how he felt

Obviously, two wrongs don't make a right and the fan had no right to do what he did & clearly, Kyrie left on bad terms but something like that is just childish. Kyrie loves to talk like he's super mature in interviews talking about world problems just to go and do something like this. Makes no sense to me.

I don't know but maybe he gestured it to say "screw this place" and he is moving on from that Celtic part of his life. But he does realize that the Nets have to win game 5 in Brooklyn to end the series and that it's not just yet over?

If Boston somehow wins game 5 then Kyrie will then have to play another game in TD Garden. And if that happens, TD Garden will be INSANE. And as a fan of the game, I would love to see how Kyrie plays through that.

Hope you guys enjoyed the read
