Kyrie Irving being kind of old makes me feel really, really old. But Kyrie is over a decade into his career now, a career that was stamped with legitimacy in 2016 when he and LeBron James led the Cavs to a title.

It got kind of weird for a few years after that … but with the Dallas Mavericks, who he joined in 2023, Irving has settled back into the elite scoring guard he originally became the moment he stepped onto an NBA court in 2011. Possessing perhaps the sharpest handle in NBA history, Irving is a sleight of hand magician when dribbling the basketball.
He’s mesmerizing to watch, a master of manipulation who could tell you exactly what he’s going to do and it still wouldn’t help you stop it.
