NBA star Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers completed a sick move on the court against China in a recent Team USA exhibition basketball game.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is continuing to put amazing moves on opponents about a month after winning an NBA championship. The 24-year-old is now starring for the United States as they prepare for their upcoming trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Kyrie, also known as “Uncle Drew” in the popular commercials, recently showed China there’s no use in trying to guard him, even in what amounts to a tune-up for Rio. The NBA on TNT eventually tweeted out a video of the incident, expressing just how crazy unfair Irving’s move was. The defenders didn’t have a chance.

As seen in the video above, Irving confidently brings the ball up the court with under 10 seconds to go in the half. He gets the helpful pick from a teammate before dribbling to one side of the court, crossing over his defender and splitting two defenders with a quick layup step towards the hoop. Irving is able to score the basket as the buzzer sounds making for an extra impressive highlight.

Not bad for a guy who had to play seven games in an NBA Final before joining his teammates for Olympics practice. It also appeared that Irving was fouled a few times during his crossover layup, but with a blowout already in effect, it’s possible the refs may have allowed the contact and simply admired the moves!
