The Boston Celtics' newest player, Enes Kanter, recently posted a collection of photos from fans who made fun of Kyrie Irving's jersey, replacing it with his surname at the back since he's also going to wear No. 11 for Boston. Apparently, Jaylen Brown liked what he saw.

Now, this could be taken as nothing, especially since Enes Kanter is always having fun in social media. But when you consider the fact that some members of the Celtics' young core were reportedly not happy with the leadership of Kyrie Irving (and his body language) last season, a simple social media like could be an indication of what Jaylen Brown feels now that Kyrie is gone from Boston.
The Celtics had high expectations last season, especially when Irving returned from injury. They were seen as championship contenders, and their roster really looked good on paper. However, they have struggled to win throughout the course of the season, and it came to a point when Irving was so frustrated that he had to call out his young teammates publicly and say they don't know how to play championship level basketball.
Fast forward to last week: Irving left the Celtics to join the Brooklyn Nets, and the Celtics made a few moves of their own in free agency, including the addition of Kanter and another All-Star in Kemba Walker.
The Celtics and the Nets will meet multiple times next season, and it is expected that there will be animosity between these two clubs. But until then, some of them will get to enjoy some social media trolling.
