During a recent Twitch stream, the Mavericks star defended Karl-Anthony Towns, whos been the target of relentless internet trolling in recent weeks.

From memes to awkward clips and all kinds of mockery, the Knicks big man has faced it all, and Kyries had enough.KAT has been roasted across social media for everything from his on-court mannerisms to the way he speaks.

Fans have called him zesty, accused him of acting funny, and posted clips of his reactions during games to fuel the jokes.The trolling only intensified after the Knicks were knocked out of the playoffs, leading to even more memes and mockery.

Kyrie addressed it directly on his stream.

He told fans that if he sees any more reposts or jokes about KAT, hes not going to let it go.He said, Yall gotta stop making fun of my brother KAT.

Im done with yall...Its over for that, its a fu**in wrap.

Im letting yall know, if you repost that sh*t again and you meme him up, Im attacking you.

Its rare to see him lose his cool.

During the stream, while he maintained a smile, he meant every word he said in KATs defence.

While Irving admitted he finds it funny when KAT switches up his tone, he said that doesnt change the fact that hes going to back him.

To him, KAT is like a brother, and he wont stand by while people tear him down for things that dont really matter.Kyrie also brought up his own background.

Being from Jersey, he knows how hard it is to grow up in that environment.

Yall dont know what its like to grow up in Jersey, have all of these cultures that youre a part of, trust me on that, he explained.
