60 Minutes of Kyrie Irving Dribbling

Irving, Jake and Bates into the lane, left-handed off the glass. Another sensational move from Kyrie Irving. You can't ask a guy to defend one-on-one greatness on the offensive end. Look at the handle, the skills, the ability to read and react, and then finish with the opposite hand. It's late, but the bank is open. To the All-Star team, I don't agree with that. I just think we need to do a better job and be consistent with the thought process for selecting people. Oh, that's a sweet move from Kyrie Irving. Both big guys competed. Black coach Mazgov in Russia. And finish. Kyrie wheeling, dealing out to the ball by Irving. Take to the rim, but this is just nasty. Beautiful ball handling. Points for Bradley Beal. Here comes Irving the other way. He'll dance, he'll cut, he'll fake, he'll shoot, he'll score! This is a game of can you top that? He's close because he's really looking for the fouls. He's very upset. Oh, it's time to boogie for Kyrie. Got the layup. He'll take two scoops. Crossover dribble. And here he's giving you everything that he's got now. And now I'm blowing past you. Butler with dogged defense on Irving. Kyrie kept his dribble alive. Tough shot. Uncle Drew with another one. Watch this shot. Watch as he gets down in here. He doesn't have anything. But now I'm going to go right up with a little fade. I think they... Oh my goodness, what a handle. Too good. Too, too good. 19 for Irving. 21 for Irving tonight. And I think what happens is everybody's watching those things. So I got to be able to coach you and tell you when you're not getting it done. Whoa! Kyrie Irving! Some razzle-dazzle on a beautiful advanced fade from Smart. Ability to handle the basketball. So skilled. Beautiful movement transition avoiding Caruso. This guy. These are the moves he made in the playground. Dallas has an answer. Isaiah Joe missed it. Klima secures it to Kyrie Irving. Irving behind the back. Was spectacular. Oh my gosh. This finish is incredible. Up with the right. Hangs. Changes hands. Twists his body. Changes hands and banks it in with the left. 17 offensive rebounds for the Dallas Mavericks. Irving dancing, prancing. Pulls up, three-pointer. Bang! Display here in game six. He's got P.J. Tucker not knowing what direction to go in. Absorbs the contact. Projections here in the first quarter for Smith. Irving crossover the drive off the glass. That's not fair. That's flat out not fair. Everybody out of my way. Allow me to have this dance. Special offensive talent and the ability to finish in a variety of ways. My goodness. And they're obviously influencing him to his left. That first. An ugly possession so far. They still have the ball. Shot clock at six. Irving crossover inside off the glass. Sensational move from Kyrie Irving. My goodness. Any words for this? No. Look at this. And it's not just the handle. It's then the ability to finish in multiple different ways over, under, side. His teammates doing a good job of finding him. Dillon Brooks is in. He's got five fouls. So, Ky's going to have a go right at him. A shake, a bait, and a spin. The right English at the end for Irving. Best in the business off the bat. Kyle is the guy that can come off handouts, come off screens, and the defense can't pretty much defend that attack. Thinking about being able to defend it. Not possible to guard that shot. His man. And that allows that mid-range shot. It's there. Kyrie against the world. Somebody defensively. Here's the double team. And this is earlier. And he's just knifing right through the double team to get to that one. Wynonnae looks in good shape. Man, this is the finest I've ever seen him look. What a handle from Irving who then magically puts it home. A layup game. Looking to make a deal to somebody else, namely Kyrie. Irving. Irving to the basket. Irving got it. Minutes of a second to go. There's the double. They fake at it. There's the angle. And once he gets going, who ain't stopping him. Nice fake there that took Young out of the play. Kyle Corver had a chance to visit his home. Still has a home here in Atlanta. With a step through. Sweet. It is ridiculous. With the basketball in his hands, so special. The ball on a string. How about that little inside-out ability to finish with multiple ways out the rim. My goodness, watch his teammates react to this. Oh, my goodness. Available for or on a roster, 95%. And his minutes per game, if you take him off the floor, he can't stand it. Like availability, I love it. Touched by Randall Brooklyn Ball. This is the finish that I could tell put a smile on your face. The stop, the start, the spin. Mr. Quickly, don't worry, my friend. You are not. Finds a Kogi. Deflected. Good hands. Good defense by Dallas. Moving the other way behind the back and into Grayson. Oh, what a Phoenix. On this play, a wonderful display. Irving using the drum and screen. Oh, Irving. That is artwork at its best. Check that time. Trying for a mirror image of the other one. Couldn't get it. Kyrie spin and there was an out. It was Kyrie Irving. Kyrie doing a good job. What a nice spin move that Kyrie danced to. And he went over Philly last night, so the gap is five. Inside, Tristan Thompson from Kyrie Irving. But the Cavs know they can get what they want at this end. Four so far. Cavaliers want to do some eating, too, at the rim. Now Irving running the show with Dinwiddie out of the game. And what a layup. Are you kidding me? And then his buddy, look at Dee right here, changing it. I mean, that is high degree of difficulty. That's a good job of him getting inside, kicking out to Yogi. I don't think he can get down. Gets around Phinney Smith. Has a layup right here. I'm going to give an ooh and an ah to the crowd. Goes up under. He's the real athlete in the family. But I think the ball handling of other players, as you see right there, Kyrie Irving, is what allows Shumpert to save himself in some of these games. Put his menace down. I believe that he's going to allow Kyrie Irving. I wouldn't want to defend him, that's for sure. Irving again. Oohs and aahs from the crowd. Manages to get the ball back. Putting on a show of the ball handling. Layup is good. Oh, and a play from Irving. Just in, Mike. His handle has gotten better. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Had that tragic accident prior to the season, so they didn't have him. And then they had the ball. Kyrie on the baseline. Time machine tonight here playing great basketball early. That's Irving right there. Twelve points off the bench, five assists as well. He just continues to play so well for the Shumperts. Irving, back. How about Kyrie Irving? This just in. He's not nervous about playoff basketball. Four. Chipping inside. Oh, it's picked up. Pick-pocketed right there by Irving. He goes behind the back. He goes into power. He got it. He scores. Did you see that? He scores. What a play. Rich, I saw it, but the defender didn't. Oh, my goodness. Comes up with the steal here. Look at this. Behind the back. And then with the left hand. Oh, man. The gift that is Kyrie. It is just. Times the knot. Two for four now, shooting threes, eight points overall. Kyrie. Take a look at Kyrie. Uses that body beautifully to water up the bigger man. Not allowing LeBron James to catch him. Forfers come back in. Irving spins. Irving drive. Gets inside. Throws it up. And makes it home as the buzzer sounds. Brilliance by Kyrie Irving. But you allow Kyrie Irving to get the basketball back, and Uncle Drew showing up and showing out. And I think traveling. One, two, three. It's the NBA. You got to love it. Appreciate the move, man. Out on its feet. Irving working on Thomas. Gets around him. Up, up. King, the master of the body control. The master of the spin off the glass. Look at his concentration. Horford comes over. Wow. Irving staring down Westbrook. Oh, what a great move. Oh, he put Westbrook in the blender. And got the bucket. Now that was a great move. See, there it is right there. He gets the defender to lean back and then come forward. And that's when he – watch it now. You're going to see. There it is. Now the crossover. And he's got you because now you're frozen. Offensive talent. Nearly falls. Drives now. Spins back. Tough fall away. Shot. It's good. Kyrie Irving. Another balance. The handle and the ability to create just enough separation to get a clean look. Can you even describe it? That's just beautiful basketball. You have to love it. The left-hander. Look at this. You think he's going up with the left. Psyche on the right. See Gafford back into the game at the five after they've gone small for a while with Kleba, who remains in at the four. Irving dancing and finishing. He's a highlight wizard. And then here, Kyrie, look at that. In tight space on the corner. That right-to-left crossover with no place to go to the left. Here's Kyrie Irving. Got the big extension of summer that will start in 2019. Irving. Kyrie Irving starting to percolate. Pick and roll. How about the hard, jagged cut? He gets Marcin Gorty. Standing ovation in this crowd. Oh, no. Coming out of halftime, just wanted to be aggressive, leave my guys, and leave it all out there on the floor. And it didn't come. Here goes Irving again. Bakes the pass. What a finish by Kyrie Irving. Next Wednesday against Washington. We'll also talk about this guy, Kyrie Irving. Loses it. Wall right there. Big last second. Decides to go reverse. A beautiful move from Kyrie Irving. He's got 13. Wow. Shows it on the left side. Goes underneath. Beautiful reverse layup. And LeBron James loves it. A man-size rebound. Weaving through the pylons. Well, the Mavs have flipped the script on San Antonio. From down 15 to in front by 14. And darting in the paint. Spectacular. High basketball IQ. Oh, stop and go. And take away the leg. You don't know where he's going to finish. Houdini. Three against Golden State. Irving in traffic. Unbelievable stuff from Kyrie Irving. Watch this finish here. Luke Kinnar plays good defense. He's still there. The help from Khansar comes. He is the most creative finisher that we have in the game. All in the quarter. Irving against Blake. Spins away from him. Oh, he put him in a blender. My goodness. 44-42. Spin on him, Kyrie. This is just nasty. What can you say about a double crossover? Look at the English on the left hand. I can understand if that's the right hand. 75-63. Watch. Here's Irving on the inside. That's the foul. That's a big-time move by Kyrie Irving. The blow-by and a hard foul by Valanchunas. Shot clock at seven. Kyrie sends it for three. He waved everyone away so he could get the penetration. Good job by Tice to get back in the play that time and get the deflection. Rivers trying to lob it to Capella. Oh, behind-the-back move by Irving and scores. We got a good one going. Get some popcorn, baby, behind the back. Just beyond the seven-minute mark of the second quarter. Shot clock is down to three. Kyrie Irving doing an ace on the defensive line. To get three. Put that shot up and down. Oh, Kyrie masterful inside. Putting Malcolm Brogdon in the spin cycle. The escape artist and the teardrop. Rebound tipped and taken by Iguodala. Ahead now, but Irving steals it back from Durant. Irving gets in the paint. Scoop layup. He banks it in. One-point game. Gordon right at himself. Kyrie spins. That's 94-92. Giving us a great show. But now that Harden's back in the game, the Cavaliers defense has to get back. Assist. He's not over-dribbling tonight. That's an excellent offensive play. Kyrie Irving. Everyone thought he was going to go to the left hand. Instead, just finger rolls it in. Good job by Butler on James. He did get off a shot. Nice move by Irving. Oh, my goodness. Look at this right here. He's going to go up on one side. Use the rim as a protector and just put that English on. Forcing it to go away. Can't let a guy beat Toronto Basket. Good awareness by Temple. Behind the back pass by Smart in the corner. And he knocks down three. And Kyrie, his passing is continuing on from his magical display we saw the other night against Toronto. Take a look at this play, Mike. Off the dribble. Doesn't even put the second hand on it. I mean, on target, on the money. He had that shot. And I think it surprised him. He got that open. Now Kyrie picked up by Wancho. Kyrie going to the rack. And he scores it. I want to see. Yeah, right before that, I was saying he got too far underneath him. And Ryan Forte caught him. But that move right there, I thought the foul was there. But you see he's got a body up. Smart late switch by P.J. to get Luca off that island. Irving inside. A layup. And it's plays like this that get him that title. My goodness. Now you see it and now you don't. Great. But Kyrie gets inside. Show it to him and then take it away. So Joe Johnson with 12. Kyrie trying to get to the rim. Spins it up. Reversed it. Tough, tough shot. That time Jordan couldn't do anything but watch Kyrie. Heinrich again guarding the perimeter guy. You turn your head and you wind up with an open shot. Wow. Irving with two defenders draped on him. Gets it a go and a chance for a three-point play. Kyrie. Make something happen aggressively. They're going to dial up Kyrie Irving's number again here. Well, why not? Look at that. Taking out his do-it-yourself kit. Off glass. Good. Timeout Raptors. Could be closing time. Watch the release. Remember now, he's right-handed. This is such a strong move. Once I get ahead now, I'm coming with the left hand. Irving. Clock at six. Dancing, driving. Look at this lob. Kyrie Irving on the drive. Loses the ball a little. Just gets it up in the air. Irving on a switch. He's got Graham. Irving. Oh, no. He's going to cook you. I mean, watch these handles. He gets Graham off balance, creates space. He has been absolutely unstoppable. Because of what we've talked about, he's been on fire from the three-point line. He mis-jumped on that play. Here comes Kyrie around Nelson. Like he was standing still. Look at him go. Kyrie Irving. Cruising angles. And he goes. 89-71. Did it off the glass any better than this guy? I would say no. No, it didn't. They don't. And Kyrie is, when he gets going like this, there's not much you can do. Because he's so agile with his body movements. Up and under with a perfect flip off the board. You'd imagine not like last season. These two teams are serious. There's a beautiful move by Irving. And he scores. That's ridiculous. To play well in game four, has not been able to do anything thus far tonight. Here's Irving off the spin. Yes. Oh, man. Stop it. Video game. Stop it. This is Dietrich Irving's son. He's known as Uncle Drew. Kyrie has really been working the glass tonight. Behind the back. Which way did he go? Cruising angles. And he goes for three. Against a premier defender, Tayshaun Prince. Including that one. As Tayshaun Prince couldn't keep up with him. Ability to skip guard by texting K. Dancing a little bit off top. But once he makes up his mind, he attacks the basket. Gets an opportunity for a three-point play. The guy who could play bigger than his size Kyrie Irving. Glass is good. Inside. Nice touch off the glass. Opportunity for a three-point play. I would actually put Kevin Love at the center. Take Tristan Thompson out. So that I could play for a smaller player. 51-51 for Kyrie Irving. Wow, what a show. Wow. LeBron. His teammate just looks over here and goes, Oh, look what my teammate is doing. Your hat's unbelievable. They beat Kansas, what, held to 40 points? Irving's nice move there. By the way, it was the 2010 draft. They said 2012. Obviously, this is now his fifth year. Harden met by Smart. Harden. Fighters. Irving. Oh, with the spin. And Smart on the open floor. Beautiful spin move right there by Kyrie. Again, we have two of the top five point guards in the game going at it. We just heard Chris Noleto talk about. Basically disappointment in the first half as Boston led by as many as 16. Here's Irving on the drive. He's small. And a foul. Best actor. Act like it isn't. It's Bradley getting up on him, closing out that space, putting a body on him. But you said it, Reg. I mean, he reminds me of a guy I played with, Rod Strickland. You just looked at him and was like, how did you finish this shot? 14-3. It's 14 for 33. That's the game. He goes to his package here. Nice hesitation. Crossover. He had the mouse in the house there, but he could not convert his teague inside. Yeah, getting their hands on the ball. I'm telling you. They're much more attentive here. Here comes Irving. And he's tripped. And he got it. A basket by Kyrie Irving. He was tripped by Jeff T. On the other end, when he pushes it, he pushes it right into Miles Turner, and that's what the fans are saying. See, he pushed into him, and they're basically saying, that shouldn't be a foul, but. And the Pacers are going to use a timeout as Cleveland. Frustrated as he heads down the floor. Cavaliers pushing every chance. Inside. Oh, James! And a cute dish by Kyrie Irving. He's got five dimes already. I don't think Michael Brintley could have caught that one. Nice drop pass by Kyrie. A good move by LeBron to give him a good angle to make the pass. And LeBron lays it in. What has been the goal this week with those group of young guys who are trying to get on this national team? Select team did an amazing job this week. All young NBA players. Down to two. Down to one as he goes for the crossover. Somehow was able to get it off. He's not that hobble. He says, I don't know what you're talking about, Chris. Look at this. I don't even think he knew he was going to shoot it until right there. What a great finish. Shot clock at nine and inside. It's Booker knocked away with the defense by Lively. The run by Kyrie. Switching hands. Oh, and the English. Shot clock down to seven. Irving takes, drives, gets inside. Count it. And one. A little hesitation. And a chance for a three-point play. In Cleveland, the man's the pick-and-roll, says the Mr. West. Allow me to have this dance. Gets it to the seams. Crossover, excuse me, dribble, escape. I don't even know how to describe it other than spectacular. And tonight, boys, he stepped up. This is where the last five field goals. Drew a crowd. Faked a pass. Oh, Kyrie. Ridiculous. Kyrie back behind. A step through. Fall away, jumps in. He showed the entire arsenal. Magical. Which way did he go? Rebound to the floor. Kyrie had to dribble between everybody and scored it. Kyrie comes up with a little tricks that time. Dumps it down to D. Fabes. In the way by Kyrie Irving. He's running. Booker chases. Hayward tries to help. And Kyrie Irving with his 34th point. Averaging 16 points per game this year. 16 starts, 9. Now 10 games off the bag. Baskets. I mean, I knew he had a lot in his bag, Harv. Yeah. I didn't know he had that much. You know what was even better is the fact that Lively didn't. And Powell grabs the rebound. That's the thing. Charlotte was so hot. Electricity. Two games for Boston, particularly in that game three shock he won. Here's Irving on the drive. I love his game, Reggie Thomas. Whose handles did he like? And he told me, Kyrie Irving, so great to have a seat front row right here to watch the finish of these strong guys. And I got to give the big fella, though, Drebko a little love, too. I love his game, too. Stepping back as a big fella. Thompson sets the pick for Irving. Westbrook able to fight through. Irving putting out a dazzling exhibition and scores. This is crazy, man. He's made about three or four moves tonight. And also now right at the verge of all-star status. Kyrie split the D. Which way did it go? Spins it up and in. I don't know where he is. Doing what Mark Price used to do so well. Mentioned that again last time in the broadcast. Our quick and loans engineered to amaze. You know, splitting the D that Mark did so well. Three for 12 to start for the Warriors. Irving, shake and bake, and drills it. This dance, now you see me, now you don't. Knocks down the beautiful jump shot in rhythm. Cavs rolling early. We'll present the efficiency. There are four defensive teams. They struggle here as Irving gets around Lynn, gets to the basket. And as you said, he finishes with the best of them. He's exciting to watch. Jason Tatum, third-quarter explosion. Marcus Morris at the second. Kyrie flips it in. He's got 30. He's played extremely well. Irving, crossover, flips it to Baines. Count it and one. Irving with some more razzle-dazzle. Got one on one. Put so much pressure on you by having the ball on the string. Beautiful job off the pick and roll. Eliminating the defender. Making a play for his teammate. Kleba to inbound. Kleba looking in for Irving. Irving for the win. That is one of the nastiest games I have seen in a while. And to have that type of finish from Kyrie Irving. Oh-oh, 682. Irving challenged by who collided with Carter and still able to spin that baby off the glass. I'm looking at a different monitor, but that's the case. Wendell Carter, he's upset about something. Picked up the foul. Had a few words for the official. I think we have a tactical on Wendell as well. Irving gets over the timeline. Drives underneath. Great pass to Tatum. Win streak if they can pull this one off tonight. So. Basketball right there. Didn't touch the floor. Everyone getting a touch. Just beat the buzzer. They'll review it, but Kyrie Irving's a big three to end the first. Richardson turned it over. Kyrie. Pass again. From the field, four for four. That's sweet. Has six steals in the game as well. Had a huge impact to Spike. Shooting poorly. Irving and one. Oh, Kyrie Irving putting on a show. This is an elite defender. He beats, creates contact, wrong foot. He's going to be the host this weekend. LeBron James. Thompson for Cleaver. Brooke got up in the air, couldn't decide what he wanted to do exactly. Kyrie Irving make it 12. That's just wrong. Here comes Irving, drives on Thompson. Irving spins, puts up the shot. It's good. Kyrie Irving with 3.4 remaining. And the Warriors call timeout. Irving does it again to the Warriors. Look at the patience. He wants to get to his spot. Not rushing. Great defense. Uncle Drew does it again. 14 of his 25 have come here in the fourth quarter. Throwing 10 assists. Scores in transition. Scores on the spot up. And that time moving without the basketball as a live cutter. That's inside. And Brown throws it down. They lead it 97-73. After the missed three-by step, Dallas running. Kyrie, change of direction, drive. And what a pass. Touching the paint again, Kyrie Irving. Excellent find that time to Gafford for the easy bucket. Getting a load. That replay right there, that particular angle, gives you an idea of the brilliance of that pass by Ky. Here comes Kyrie approaching the halfway mark, second quarter. Kyrie in the paint. Good pass. Ojolade for two. Take a look at Kyrie putting the heat on the defense. They're retreating. And when Kyrie gets in the paint. Playing well with his 19 points and seven rebounds. Horford is averaging 13 a game. Oh, what a crossover by Irving. Another open triple. Got him. Al Horford. Kyrie and Al Horford here. Here's the dance move by Kyrie in the third three of this quarter by Al. Very steady player. He's solid. And like I said earlier, with an A. Irving with the left hand high off the glass. Just a bit here. That's like Mark Price like back in the day. Well, the Mavericks try to get a shot up here in six seconds. Doesn't look like it. Spurs, by the way, have a foul to get. Give and go, Kyrie. Here you go. Incredible finish. Yeah, that was the number. Here's Kyrie. Talked about earlier, he was so smooth. Splits the defense. And that always has the right English at the end too. I've never seen him miss those. Instead of staying connected to Klay Thompson and pay the price. Irving. Penetration back to Thompson. What a sweet pass from Kyrie Irving, his seventh assist. A way to apologize offensively. Beautiful ball handling. Gets into the seams. A little excuse me drop-off pass. And Thompson does the rest. February, 29 days this year. Yesterday to celebrate Black History Month. Kyrie Irving. Meeting at the highest level. Both out of St. Patrick's in New Jersey. Kyrie Irving. Kyrie. Oh, what a pass. He hypnotized two guys. And he made the bounce pass. We're going to get ourselves a timeout. Kyrie just mesmerizes everybody Smith lost it. Curry helped poke it away. Now Thompson defending Kyrie Irving. Stays with him. Tough shot. Banks it home. What a play from Irving. Thompson was draped all over him. Let's see if they run it to attack right on the catch. No timeouts. But then that's Kyrie trying to get to the next level. And this is it right there. Sure is. Watanabe sets the screen. Irving against Bullock. Nasty handles. Irving curls, floats, and scores. So cold. And you said it. Look at Bullock. Stays in front. Active with his hands. He's got sides of everything. A little slip. Getting into the face of Kyrie. Behind the back. Oh. Finish. Jared Allen. Razzle dazzle feed. This is absolutely filthy. Kyrie Irving slides through the defense. Makes it look easy around the back. The throw down by Jared Allen. Shut it down. I mean, look at that. What a way to close out the half for this. Final seconds of the quarter. Irving checking the clock. Here's the step back. Three. Yes. Meanwhile, the Cavs have missed 13 of their last 14 shots. Here's Irving to the rim. Jordan comes away with a rebound. A minute 14 to play in this first half. Kyrie. Oh, in his bag. Kyrie Irving. This is unbelievable. To have a guy on his back finish around the other side of the basket. I mean, just a strong take in body control. Off a screen. Did not finish. Loose ball. Whips it back. By the Bucs. And they can just ignite these Mets. Kyrie Irving with a beautiful pass to his buddy. Another one. They're within 12. They've traveled by as many as 20 here in the second half. Irving pulls up. Draws a foul. And one. Brilliant NBA playoff debut. So crafty offensively. Get you on your heels. The ability to make. And make tough shots. This is a tough shot. Clearly contact. Doesn't allow him to land. Those miles ago. Irving trying to get to the right. Right down Euclid he went. Patience is a virtue. Got Parker. Cory Joseph is in. Ginobili on the ball. And Leonard. Kyrie. Wow. They'll check it out. Wow. Hibbert's got to get back. I don't know why he's up there trying to challenge Kyrie Irving. Four seconds. Irving. Long three. Got it. He just drilled it. That's a jump that shot three. When you have. Hits his second three of the night. So. Second time out. Westbrook walked out of five at 37. Patty Mills nearly had the steal. Now Irving. Yeah. In trouble. Just throw it up to the big guy. No bulldog defensive player to make the stops. Irving back to Horford. Horford for three. Ties the game. Here comes LeBron. Flipped it away. Shot clock. Down to six. Irving on the drive. And it's good. We always talk about Kyrie Irving's ball handling. But what we don't talk about enough. He's one of the best finishers under the rim in this game. A difficult left-hand layup. Going over Crowder. Finishing strong. All-star point guard. Showing up big. Late in this game. Kyrie. Well-timed with Thompson. Behind the back. To escape. And what's going to go. Kyrie squirming. 17-9. Top line. Gobs one on one. Yeah. It's so difficult with today's rules to stay in front of a basketball magician like Kyrie Irving. Confidence after a team with down years. Kyrie Irving back on the floor. That is two fouls. Puts it up. And in. Somehow. Someway. Kyrie is a master at using English on the board. Doing a good job of leaning inside and spinning that ball up the head. Irving. Oohs and aahs from the crowd. And Irving with the finish. Wow. Finals presented by Verizon. What a show put on from Kyrie Irving. 18 points in 18 minutes. Some real razzle-dazzle. Eight of 11 from the field. Irving was. Irving is to attempt. Not fair. It's not fair to have handles like that. Along with J.R. Smith. Kyrie a pump take. Put it down. Irving off the double team. Hangs. Hits. And a foul. Moves this season. He snakes through the defense. That's a nice screen set by Bruce Brown. And he's surveying to see what he can do to create. But as soon as you watch Vuch, who's given him room, and he's so set back, Garrett Temple's coming from his. Kyrie Irving slows it down. We go under a minute. For the Pelicans, their playoff start right now. They've got to win every game possible. And Kyrie Irving. Here's the difference. The ball is in Kyrie's hands to make a play, whether that's his shot or he makes it for the teammate. Finds Shumpert. Shumpert. Missed up there. Shot clock winding down. Irving steps back. Fires a three. And drills it. Kyrie Irving from downtown. Cavaliers, all five starters and double figures. Dominant. They've led by as many as 29. Head to the fourth quarter. 90-66 the road team. 102-98. Cavaliers by four. Kyrie Irving. Step around. Whips it up and in. Oh, man, what a handle on that guy. With the Harlem Globetrotters. He's curling Neal and MJ, Colby, everything when it comes to offense. That ties his season high. Now you've got to move for Kyrie. Time for Dallas here with 4.09 left in the fourth. Clock against Kyrie. Oh. Back to that Kyrie move. Nothing going. Really nothing going. Bang at the end of the clock. Irving, the ball handling. Gordon sticks right with him. Contests the shot. Count it. And one. Gordon played him perfectly to the end. You cannot play better defense than this. We've talked about it. But give me great offense over great defense any day of the week. Uncle Drew showing up and showing out. First foul. Kyrie with a mismatch here on Thad Young. All that sauce and the finish. He just opened up about six to eight feet there with that crossover quick. Keep an eye on that. Knocked out a couple in the last game. Dwayne Casey wants him to shoot more. He's shooting 19% though on the season. Irving, the turnaround. Here's Kyrie taking his time. Corey Joseph, a pretty good one-on-one defender, has the quickness, but just too much in his bag. Great defense. Irving wants it against Rozier. Irving dances inside for two. It's a one-possession game. And this time just potting Kyrie Rozier. That's down two. It hasn't worked out as a first-round pick. They'll get Dante Eksen back next year as Kyrie Irving scores. Think of the back. Kyrie has some space. He's not running any plays. Inside for Trevor. And he's fouled. Taking something out of nothing. Just picking and rolling. They're not running all the plays that I see them run in practice. They need to start running what they have. When you think about his numbers in December, he had five games where he scored 25 points and had 10 rebounds as Irving gets to the goal. That hasn't happened since Tim Duncan had eight on Irving. Wow. Wrong foot layup after two crossovers. Well, that's saying a lot. He's just, I mean, look at that right on cue, Rachel. Just spectacular. Guys. I mean, like the handle and the footwork and the ability to finish. Kyrie. Keep your eye on Bam Adebayo. As soon as he peels out, that's when Kyrie attacks. Quickly to Kyrie. Irving to the basket. Watch this little play here. Little crossover. The back court. Kyrie, one man to beat, spins it up. Hit it. Sunway against Long. Very easy. He went to the body, spin move. That's called going short against Long. We'll be back. 27-22 Cavaliers. That call, though. Irving is going to the line and he banks it in almost with his wallet on the ground. That's how good this kid is. If you watch Drew trying to time this up to where he gets an easy block and at least prevents a three-point play. Where the defense is coming from, recognizing none's coming, and he makes his move. That's Duke versus Duke there. Kyrie Irving against Jaleel Okafor. And one more at the line for the Cavs' leading scorer. But you cannot allow Kyrie Irving to get the ball off. You have to foul him hard enough that he gets to the free. Both teams getting after it defensively here in the first. Shot clock at five. Irving to drive. Gets inside. Bank shot. Oh, beauty from Kyrie Irving. This is one of the most skilled players to ever play the game. They actually made the angle initially tough. Isaiah Joe, who's been out with a sternum injury for the last four games, is in. Kenrich Williams has come in. Kyrie, special. News that are about to happen here in a moment. But first, here's Kyrie Irving. No one in this league can do. Kyrie Irving's been electrifying. But for the Smiths team, you got to start getting stopped at the other end. Oh! Dazzling! Is this for real? He's 17 of 18 from the field. Like a video game. Irving isolation with Hunter. Irving. Oh! Irving. And you're right. A defender draped all over him. He creates a little separation. Moutier's been traded around at Burke now. Who can handle that pressure? This guy, oh, he's tough to defend. No competition for Irving's spot. Chance at three. Brilliant play to the rim. With the dribble of Virtuoso. And the left hand is scooped. And he's looking for the old-fashioned three-point play. See, Lelaquena should not have fouled it. Rebound Baines. Kyrie Irving looking for some daylight all the way to the rack. He scoops, he scores. You know, everybody's got to be turned around watching, looking for him when he comes up the floor. 13-10 Selvig's at Little Caesars Arena. 79-68. Irving. Boy, shows it with the right hand and scores with the left. Kyle Korver out there. This is a 12-2 run by the Nets. Irving sends it. Kyrie with their new child. Brand-new child, Phoenix. Kyrie doing a good job of understanding the momentum. Kyrie dance. Here we go, final second of the quarter. Irving stops at a dime. Stop it, Kyrie. Stop it. Inside, the Kyrie dance to the hoop. Opportunity for a three-point play. He's got 30 looking for 31. Against a bigger. And that's the combination the Cavs will have to slow down. If you let Deion penetrate, that sets up that play. Kyrie Irving. Around McGruder. Remember, he spun one at Miami. Or, excuse me, at Atlanta the other night. So, stay tuned. Kyrie to the hole. Tell me I got to talk the truth? Irving shaking bakes against Horton Tucker. Tough contested shot, and he knocks it down. Absolutely ridiculous. Handling the basketball, lull you to sleep. Has it on a string. And then the ability. That made his first four. Another chance here for Brooklyn. And Kyrie goes to work. Gets a switch. Now Dixon steps inside. Tice scores it. And Kyrie Irving. And one. A chance for a three-point play. Great patience. And he just gets Tice on his hip. That doesn't allow him to get to the ball. And his ability to finish with either hand. Watch how he cuts that angle there. Irving controls the rebound. Ten-point lead. Kyrie. Going all Uncle Drew is in the building tonight. Now, let me tell you. The crossover was great. Now, keep an eye on Irving here. Now, this is just a great move. As he comes in there with the left hand. Tice doing what he does best, keeping the ball alive. Heywood comes up with it. Kyrie. Foot two. Man. Put him in the blender. Uncle Drew. That was cruel. Kyrie put all of his ingredients in. Turned the blender on. And cooked Joseph all the way to the basket. Now, Lawson has so many weapons. And Al Horford has a center. Almost as a facilitator. But that is the Kyrie Irving that he has. Three points. I'll tell you. Good offense always trumps good defense. And Kyrie Irving. With Dominic. The next one to fall. Oh, Kyrie Irving again. Right to the rack. Now, the defense is kind of desperate. After missing the last five games. Right knee spring. A strong drive by Kyrie. And there's the wizardry. And then there's just putting your head down and going to the basket and bumping off a bigger player, as Ky just did. Left hand in his pocket, Mark. Takes the bump and gets it up to the rim with a soft, soft touch on it. And it just rolls in. And the Nuggets lead back to four. The way in which he has been getting his shots in this game has been very diverse. Cuts to the basket. Rolls to the basket. Different post-up situations. As Kyrie Irving right back at you. He can finish amongst the trees. Players. Kyrie Irving. Here's his handles on display. Dribbling. Kyrie just keeps that dribble. Starts going back in that direction again. I knew it. You got snake trauma coming up here. Thanks to Mike. Just two for eight shooting so far. Kyrie, the pull-up. Banks it home. Eight left to go here. Kyrie doing it on both ends. He's got ten points. Banking home jumpers like that. A quiet night offensively. Spins in and able to hit with that left hand. Into the front court. Irving. Works there without Kyle Korver. But Irving launches a three. He's so smooth. Get them ready. It just is. Baseline jumper. Irving. Tough shot over T. They're trying to say, but you see, here's a tough shot. I mean, he's well defended and is able to do a step back. He having fun now. Look, he having fun. Oh! But Kyrie Irving, a 20-point third quarter. Yep. And J.R. says. Osmond trying to stay with Kyrie Irving. Kyrie splits it. A little fadeaway is good. Smooth. Kyrie Irving. Can get anywhere he needs to get on the floor. Hurry to Kyrie. Five on the shot clock. Irving. Got it. Oh, my goodness. Kyrie with a little bit of paint magic. To hold off the defender for Giannis and then use his length and skill to finish this out. Good job by George Hill on Irving. He turns, and this time he hits. Some Dr. J-like things in there. Kyrie, the beautiful fadeaway. Irving off the Baines screen with the left. Oh, he gave them the left hand. Oh, that should be illegal right there. Well, the handle and then the 13-foot left-handed. Three-point game. Irving. What handles through the D. Barely bouncing it off the floor to get in for two. Easy one. Look at Kyrie here, man, the magician on the floor, splitting double teams, triple teams. A little floating. And here's Irving with the Hesi and the drive by and one for arguably the most skilled player in the game today. Here's Irving. A fadeaway. Kyrie Irving. Look at this. He's going against a two-time all-defensive player in Drew Holiday, and he makes it just look so easy. Takes his time to step back and just the fadeaway, and it just looks so effortless. Irving being overplayed by Trier. Oh, no. It's Kyrie Irving. High popping moves. Devastating with the ball in his hands. The Knicks think they're going to blitz him, double team. He goes right through, attacks the rim. He makes everything look so easy because when he has the ball in his hands, a live dribble. Sarah, we were talking before about Kenny Atkinson, we were talking about the chemistry of Irving and LaVert. It's Irving. Just a magnificent move to bank that in. One about changing gears, and we know how Karis LaVert changes gears. You can see it here in Kyrie Irving. The stop, the go, moving a defender laterally in his ability to get behind, but also mutual respect. And I think. Kyrie Irving goes right, a green, spins, gets inside, left-handed off the glass. That's a pretty move. About the move by Kyrie Irving. This is very good defense by Draymond Green, but the ability to handle. Kyrie just had his third steal of the game, and it was a big one because it leads to. Nearly high enough, and Kyrie turned down the screen and got all the way to the rim. You were talking about Valentunas. He was missed. Dallas trying to put pressure now as Kyrie drives it into the paint. Challenge by Grant. He'll step back, get a little airspace, and got a friendly roll again.
