Kyrie Irving Getting Booed In Dallas, Rips Fans
The Dallas Mavericks are now 3-7 in the Kyrie Irving with Luka Doncic era, after their most embarrassing loss of the season, to the 16-point underdog Charlotte Hornets. Irving shot 1-for-8 from three-point range as the Mavs lost 117-109.
Boos were raining down on Kyrie and the entire team in Dallas, and as you can imagine, he didn't respond well.
Kyrie Irving on boos in Dallas: "So what? ... You obviously want to play well, but you it's only five people on the court that can play for Dallas Mavericks. If the fans wanna change places, then hey, be my guest. Got years of work ahead to be great enough to be on this level."

Getting booed by fans? "So what?" shot back Irving. "You obviously want to play well, but it's only five people on the court that can play for the Dallas Mavericks. If the fans wanna change places, then hey, be my guest. Got years of work ahead to be great enough to be on this level."
Fans didn't limit their heckling to the court, however. After the game, in the tunnel outside the locker room, he was confronted again. But be forewarned, Kyrie's response is definitely NSFW:

After a fan shouted "Kyrie, you suck!", the contentious star shouted back "S--k my d--k, b-tch!"
Mavs fans have been trolling Irving online as well, mostly for his inability to get it done in crunch time.

As for the Mavs meltdown against one of the worst teams in the league, head coach Jason Kidd said the boos were well-deserved. And how did he describe his team's play?
