Kyrie Irving had a powerful message for the TD Garden crowd before Monday’s tip-off between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
His speech had nothing to do with his phone call with LeBron James, or his recent comments about his teammates. Rather, Irving took a moment to honor Martin Luther King Jr. on the day he is recognized. Both teams donned “I have a dream” shirts during warm-ups.
Irving kept it short and noted King was “a man who truly embodied what it means to be a leader, a visionary, and a dreamer.”

Powerful.
Everything seems to be clicking for the C’s, and they look to continue their winning ways and extend their win streak to four Monday night.
