Kyrie Irving requested to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers and was subsequently sent to the Boston Celtics. The move angered a lot of fans in Ohio, and his comments since then have only added fuel to the fire. Wish Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony told the young point guard to watch his back when he comes back to Cleveland.
TMZ asked the veteran rapper about Irving's recent comments about playing for a "real live sports city" now that he's in Boston.
"I don't know. Don't be an idiot," Wish Bone replied.
The interviewer asked Wish Bone if he believes Irving's statements were wrong, or if he had a point about Cleveland not being a major sports city.
"Definitely wrong," he explains. "Cleveland's one of the biggest sports cities there is."
Wish Bone noted that Kyrie will get booed when he comes back, and also mentioned what would happen if he tries to hit up some of his old spots in the city.
"That ain't happening," Wish Bone continues. "He can forget that. Nah. Not like that. Never... he definitely could have issues for sure. [You] bad mouth The Land, something happens. We put hands on you."
Irving and the Celtics played against the Cavaliers at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland for the opening game of the regular season. Irving was indeed booed throughout the game. Despite reported tensions between the two, Irving and LeBron James embraced after the Cavs beat the Celtics 102-99. Irving put up 22 points and 10 assists, while James clocked in with a near triple-double of 29 points, 16 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Celtics were without All-Star Gordon Hayward who suffered a gruesome leg injury a little more than five minutes into his Boston debut.
