Controversial Aussie Star Nick Kyrgios Bumps Into NBA Icon as He Taunts Him With a Daunting Boston Celtics Message

The world is well aware of Nick Kyrgios‘ love for the NBA. He regularly tweets and posts about basketball, especially during the playoffs. The Aussie tennis sensation has also shown his affinity towards the Boston Celtics, one of the most successful NBA teams. He often wears their cap during training, traveling, and sometimes even in interviews.

Last week he coached Frances Tiafoe at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in Los Angeles. More recently, he bumped into one of the biggest names in the NBA.

Nick Kyrgios meets Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is one of the most prolific NBA players in the world. He was instrumental for the Golden State Warriors in their 2017 and 2018 championship runs. Yesterday, he was invited to the Boardroom meeting, a media network that covers sports. The NBA star bumped into Nick Kyrgios at the same and the duo couldn’t resist posing next to each other.

Kyrgios uploaded a picture of him with Kevin Durant while donning a Boston Celtics cap and left a message for him. He said on his Instagram, “pleasure speaking at the @boardroom today 🙏🏽 told KD the Celtics are gonna be waiting in the final ☘️☀️“. Durant now plays for the Phoenix Suns, one of the stronger sides in the Western Conference while the Celtics play in the Eastern Conference. So, there is a good possibility that the Suns meet Kyrgios’ favorite team, the Celtics, in the NBA finals as indicated by Kyrgios in his caption.

If that’s not enough to remind the fans about Kyrgios’ love for the Celtics, his recent altercation with his friend would surely suffice.
