Kyrie Irving Autographs Nets Fan Fahad Saleem's No. 11 Jersey After House Fire

When Brooklyn Nets fan Fahad Saleem's home caught fire in early March, one memento survivedโ€”his Kyrie Irving jersey. After Saleem posted about the fire on Twitter, the star point guard signed the uniform that survived the blaze and left Saleem with a message:

Both the Nets and Spencer Dinwiddie also responded to Saleem's post earlier in the month:

"It's a crazy story," Saleem told Nets Daily on March 6. "I'm a big Nets fan and it's crazy that only my Kyrie jersey survived. I lost everything, from socks to my bed."ย 

The NBA has since gone on hiatus amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving NBA fans like Saleem without basketball. But it's nice to see the league's players continue to support their fans, especially in times of need.ย
