The 24-second clip — which has amassed nearly 10,000 views on Instagram — shows the Brooklyn Nets player responding to a heckler by saying, “Got y’all a championship, and you motherf–kers still ungrateful.”
Irving, who grew up in West Orange, had 27 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds in Monday’s game against the Cavaliers, resulting in a final score of 107 to 114, according to the New York Post.

Irving — who attended high schools in Montclair and Elizabeth — was previously named Rookie of the Year after being selected by the Cavaliers with the first pick in the 2011 draft. He is also a seven-time All-Star and three-time member of the All-NBA Team who won an NBA championship with the Cavaliers in 2016.
