On Tuesday, the NBA fined Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving $50,000 for violating the league’s code of conduct multiple times during Game 1 of the Nets’ first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics.

After a successful jump shot late in the third quarter, television cameras caught Irving flashing his middle finger at the TD Garden crowd.

Midway through the fourth quarter, video from inside the arena showed Irving holding his hands behind his head and orchestrating two middle fingers toward fans.

“The same energy they have for me, I’m going to have for them,” Irving said following the game.

“And it’s not every fan. I don’t want to attack every Boston fan, but when people start yelling “p” and “b” and “f* you” and all of this, there’s only so much you can take as a competitor. We’re the ones expected to be docile and be humble and take a humble approach. No. F* that. It’s the playoffs. This is what it is.”
