Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has unveiled a new shirt inspired by The Undertaker.
Ever since Kyrie Irving hit the winning shot in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, he has entered a new level of stardom. Add in his gold medal from the Olympics and things have never been better for the Cavaliers’ point guard. Now, Irving is taking his own branding to the squared circle.
Inspired by legendary phenom, The Undertaker, Irving created a shirt with himself as “AnkleTaker” for his ability to break ankles. The logo is him looking like The Undertaker, with the classic coat and brimmed hat.
He was happy to unveil his latest shirt on SnapChat. Needless to say, his latest shirt is getting plenty of positive marks.

When you’re having the type of year that Irving is having, creating your own awesome logo like this is an absolute must. The way he was able to dominate Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry in the final games of the Finals really cemented his legacy in the game.
The only thing left for Irving to do on the court is to make more ankles rest in peace. There might not be any tombstones to unsuspecting opponents, but there will be plenty of crossovers and step-back jumpers abound.
