Are Celtics Concerned By Players Response To Kyrie Irving Logo Stomp?
If so, you probably remember a number of former Celtics like Kevin Garnett, Glen Big Baby Davis and others speaking out against Irvings antics. Some like Kendrick Perkins, though, didnt have much of a problem with the point guard giving Lucky, the Leprechaun at center court, both literally and figuratively a black eye. Current players on the Celtics seemed to be among those who didnt mind. At least thats how it could be interpreted based on the fact Irving never met any criticism from Boston players immediately following the incident. Jayson Tatum, specifically, said he didnt know about it despite talking to reporters about 45 minutes after it spread like wildfire on social media. Many of those same players would offer Irving hugs and well-wishes just a few nights later when the Nets eliminated the Cs in Game 5, too. The organization, it seems, had a problem with that. The Athletics Jared Weiss, in a lengthy piece detailing dysfunction within the 2020-21 Celtics published Saturday, depicted just that. calling card in years past. Opinions on the logo stomp clearly have varied since it took place, but its not crazy to imagine those representing a prideful organization had a problem with it.
