<p>Celtics fans weren’t the only ones angry with Kyrie Irving for stomping on Boston&#8217;s center-court logo featuring “Lucky the Leprechaun&#8221; on Sunday, a moment that took a backseat to a fan later<strong> throwing a water bottle at the Nets star.</strong></p>



<p>“So nobody going to say anything about Kyrie Stomping ‘Lucky’?” Celtics great Kevin Garnett wrote Monday on Instagram. “We just gonna act like we didn’t see that.</p>



<p>“You can’t do that,&#8221; added the Hall of Famer, who won a title with Boston in 2008. &#8220;That’s not cool on no level .. All of us need to be better.&#8221;</p>



<p>The clip of Irving stamping his left shoe on the emblem made the rounds on social media after a Celtics fan in a Garnett jersey nearly hit Irving with a water bottle as he walked down the tunnel toward the locker room following Brooklyn’s win.</p>



<p>The fan, 21-year-old Massachusetts native Cole Buckley, was banned from TD Garden <strong>and will be arraigned Tuesday</strong> on a charge of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, local police told reporters.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kyrie appeared to step on the Boston logo as he greeted his teammates at half court postgame. <br><br>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/yornoc74?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@yornoc74</a>) <strong>pic.twitter.com/thcXjX15He</strong></p>&mdash; ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1399184176033808386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 31, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>But Garnett appeared to only criticize Irving, who had 39 points Sunday and was heavily booed both games in Boston.</p>



<p>The 29-year-old Irving spent two tumultuous seasons with the organization that featured him reportedly calling out younger teammates and struggling in the 2019 playoffs.</p>

<p>He left that summer to sign a four-year, $136 million contract with the Nets to team up with fellow star Kevin Durant.</p>



<p>The Nets are one game away from eliminating Boston in the first round of the playoffs.</p>
