A handshake Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving did at the end of Monday night’s win went viral, largely because of their grand finale.
Love and Irving appeared to end their special handshake by making a joint smoking gesture. However, Love and Irving want to set the record straight and let everyone know that they are not promoting drug use; they are actually sharpening imaginary mustaches at the end.
#Cavs clarify Kyrie/Love handshake last night. They are "sharpening the end of an imaginary mustache" at end of the exchange. Nothing else

As hard as that explanation is for many to accept, The Akron Beacon Journal’s Jason Lloyd says he has seen Love do that gesture before.
FYI: I've seen the gif. I know it looks incriminating. But I've also seen Love do the mustache thing myself before up close. Moving on…

Well, I guess I could buy that. Can you?
