Two tremendous athletes connected on Wednesday night in Boston after the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 102-88.
Kyrie Irving took off the jersey he wore in the game and gave it to Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman:

Raisman, 23, is a Needham, Mass. native and fan of the Boston sports teams. She has won three gold medals and six overall medals at the Olympics.
Irving is similarly one of the best in the world at what he does, though he had an off game on Wednesday. Irving had 11 points, 9 rebounds and six assists. He was just 5-for-14 from the field against his former team.
We can’t wait for the media to push for the two of them to date after this, just like they did last time with Raisman and another Boston athlete.
