Update:
The NBA has fined Kyrie Irving $25,000 for "using inappropriate language when responding to a fan."

Celtics Kyrie Irving says he takes full responsibility for telling a Sixers fan and heckler to suck his d**k after the Celtics win over the Philadelphia team on Friday night (Oct. 20). Kyrie's response was caused by the fan yelling "where's LeBron?"
The next day a sports reporter asked Kyrie about the video and if he had any regrets about his actions. The point guard responded:
"Hell no. If you're man enough to record it on video then, um, you know it's on him. You know. I'm glad that he got his @ name out there and his five seconds of fame and it going viral. That's the social media platform that we live on. I take full responsibility for what I said, excuse the kids at home, and we move on."
When asked about why he broke his composure at that moment when he is being taunted all the time, "At the end of the day we're all human," Kyrie responded. "If we're in the heat of the moment and frustration arises - we were at halftime, and we were down by 4, in a season opener in Philly. Being a young time here, handling that before and then handling what we had to in the locker room and going out and handling business and getting the W," he continued.
The LeBron trolls may not let up this season. Hopefully, Kyrie is mentally prepared for more hecklers.
