Boston TV Hosts Roasted Over Freezing Cold Kyrie Irving Take

Boston media personalities Brian Scalabrine and Chris Forsberg are feeling the full wrath of the internet after a year-old clip of them trashing Kyrie Irving re-surfaced.

The segment, which aired on NBC Sports Boston this time last year, features Scalabrine and Fosberg confidently declaring Irving’s time in Dallas would be a disaster.

Early in the segment, Fosberg asked whether Irving or Luka Doncic would be first to demand a trade if things didn’t go well.

Scalabrine went even harder.

“Kyrie will be asking for a trade by February,” he said.

Fosberg responded by saying, “Can I get the under on that?”

But Scalabrine wasn’t done.

“There’s no way this is going to play out,” the former Celtic said, suggesting Irving’s tenure in Dallas would implode well before the end of his three-year deal.

“… They traded for Kyrie at fourth in the West and they went to 11th, and they were tanking at the end to preserve a draft pick,” he said. “What the heck?”

Fosberg then sarcastically added, “You gotta pay $42 million to keep that chemistry going.”

Irving himself even responded to the segment at the time.

And now, with Irving and the Mavericks making it all the way to The NBA Finals (where they will meet the Celtics, of all teams), Scalabrine and Fosberg are being roasted alive online.

To be fair, Irving also tried to warn us here at BF about what was going to happen this season.

As it turns out, he was a man of his word.
