Last night, the Cavs were back in action as they played host to the Philadelphia 76ers. In convincing fashion, Cleveland was able to destroy Philly with the final score of 108-86. Leading the way for the Cavs was LeBron James who finished with 23 points and 4 assists. Cleveland fans were ecstatic to witness the return of their superstar point guard Kyrie Irving. Missing 22 games of the season due to a fractured kneecap injury he sustained during Game 1 of the 2015 NBA Finals, Irving made a solid return to the court for Cleveland. After a slow start, “Uncle Drew” finished with 12 points going 5-for-12 in 18 minutes of action. But things got a little bit awkward during halftime of the game.
One reporter mistakenly called J.R. Smith Kyrie Irving and his response was very witty and nonchalant.
But it’s all love, you know? Smith doesn’t mind being mistakenly called “Kyrie” every now and again. So long as he can get “Kyrie” money
Check out the video clip below as the young gunner from Jersey threw that nice subliminal to the Cavs about wanting more money. If Cleveland wins it all, it’s only right Smith gets a nice raise from his already agreed $5 million dollar a year deal with the squad.
