Kyrie Irving has a hilarious message for Sixers player celebrating a dunk in blowout loss to Cavaliers
The defending champion Cavaliers were facing a 28-48 Sixers team on Friday, but Kyrie Irving was fully engaged from the jump. Less than 90 seconds in, Irving picked up a flagrant foul for shoving Philadelphia's Justin Anderson into the bench, as retaliation for Anderson taking a similar action against LeBron James.

"Whether it was malicious or not ... I kinda saw Justin kinda lower his shoulder and knock down Bron," Irving said, via ESPN. "I was like ... I gotta do something, I've got to protect my brother. A lot of late hits on Bron, a lot of guys trying to get one over on him. It's over for that. It's over for that."
Said James: "He was protecting me from getting shoved. It's about it being a brotherhood around here and not letting anything happen to each other."
