But just how special was that handshake?

At the end of their routine, it appeared that Love and Irving made a smoking motion. This prompted an appropriate response from NBA blogs typing VERY LOUDLY about the evidence at hand.
Cleveland, meanwhile, had a different explanation for the celebration between the two stars.
Sharpening the end of an imaginary mustache is far less believable, especially when you want to imagine that professional athletes in a league as sensitive as the NBA would do a public celebration by miming the smoking of marijuana.
Plus, who sharpens a mustache anyway? Don’t be weird, curl that thing like a real red-blooded American.
Anyway, you now have your choice of options to believe – what the Cavaliers said or THE TRUTH.
I can imagine that the celebration between Irving and Love will be much different next time out as they alter their routine to something more wholesome. Something like:
/mimes drinking tea
“CRUMPET, MY GOOD SIR?
“NO THANK YOU, I BELIEVE I HAVE REACHED MY CAPACITY FOR SUCH INDULGENCES.”
“JOLLY GOOD.”
“INDEED.”
Much better.
