At least this one was basketball-related, though. Just like that, we’ve got another debate about Kyrie Irving. Dude is clearly passionate about where his teammate stands. That’s how KD reacted to a compliment about Irving. Which, well, that’s quite the take.ĭragonfly Jonez quoted the tweet and said basketball players love Kyrie Irving more than most and Kevin Durant called him a casual. In the 2016 NBA Finals, he made a three-point field goal with 53 seconds remaining in a tied Game 7 to help lead the Cavaliers to a championship over the Golden State Warriors. He won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the 2014 All-Star Game. Now, I will say, it’s unclear whether he was talking about today or of all-time, but the mention of the top 75 makes it seem like he means top 20 ever. Irving played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils before joining the Cavaliers in 2011. So y’all saying ain’t top 75? I agree… he top 20 at least… Iguodala tweeted that he thought Irving was top 20 (!!!!).
You can’t talk about this era of basketball without talking about Kyrie Irving.īut…does he have a space on the NBA’s Top-75 list? Both Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala seem to think so. He’s a seven-time All-Star and might have the best handle we’ve ever seen.
Not to mention he was absolutely spectacular through that entire series. He hit one of the biggest shots we’ll ever seen in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals to win the Cavaliers their first championship.
Kyrie Irving, regardless of his vaccination status, is one of the best players in today’s NBA.
