Jay Williams, Who Was Once Called Out for “Lying” By Kevin Durant, Destroys Kyrie Irving After Nets Get Swept vs Celtics

The Boston Celtics just put the Brooklyn Nets out of their misery. Dubbed as championship favorites at the start of the season, the Celtics swept the Nets 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs. After this humiliation, the duo of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are facing all the fire.

Talking in an interview on ESPN, former Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams ripped into the Nets and Kyrie Irving. Interestingly enough, he has a history with the Nets as he has beefed with Kevin Durant in the past.

Talking about the sweep, former Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams bashed Kyrie Irving. Williams said, “On the court, I saw a guy who is passive. I didn’t see a guy who is aggressive, I didn’t see a guy who was playing like his back was against the wall and they were in a closeout game scenario.”

He further added, “After the game was over, I’m watching Kyrie on the floor and he’s hugging, and he’s smiling with his former teammates. After they have gotten swept!“

This is not the first time Williams has taken shots at a Nets star. Kevin Durant brutally dissed him last year following Williams’ comments regarding the Brooklyn Nets.
