Last week, LeBron James posted an Arthur meme on Instagram of his hand balled up into a fist. It was assumed that James posted it after Celtics’ guard and former Cavs teammate Kyrie Irving’s clutch fourth quarter performance against the Hawks.
Tonight, NBC Sports Boston’s Twitter feed posted a video of Arthur saying he’s from Boston and called out LeBron James and former Celtic Isaiah Thomas. The only problem was that Arthur was seen in the video lighter than he normally is, almost a white skin tone. This awkward moment was recognized by other fans on social media and was a big L for Celtics Nation.
Arthur is a @Celtics fan! So keep his meme’s out yo feed @kingjames & @isaiahthomas #nba pic.twitter.com/hDCMch37Zr
