Kyrie Irving booed in return to Cleveland (Video)
Kyrie Irving heard more than his fair share of boos during his return to Cleveland as a member of the Celtics.
In the first game of the new NBA season, the Celtics traveled to Cleveland for a matchup with the Cavaliers. That, of course, meant Irving would be returning to the place he spent the first six seasons of his career after engineering a trade to Boston during the offseason. Not surprisingly, Irving was booed during player introductions. Take a look and listen below.

Irving was also booed nearly each time he possessed the ball. After helping the Cavaliers to their only championship in franchise history, many wondered how Irving would be received. It didn’t take long to answer that question.
