Kyrie Irving has left an indelible mark on the NBA since being selected as the 1st overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Duke University. In his rookie season, Irving averaged, 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game and took home the NBA Rookie of the Year award. 

In the coming years, Kyrie would play alongside LeBron James, who returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. Side by side with Lebron and Kevin Love, Kyrie would go to three consecutive NBA Finals. 

In the 2016 NBA finals, against the record-breaking 73-9 Warriors, the Cavaliers battled back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a Game 7. With under a minute to go in the game, Kyrie hit the biggest shot of his career. His step-back three-pointer over Steph Curry gave Cleveland the lead. It would prove to be the final field goal made, and the one that cemented the city of Cleveland’s first major sporting title. 

Since 2016, Kyrie has played for the Boston Celtics, the Brooklyn Nets, and now the Dallas Mavericks. Now in his 13th season, at the time of cataloging, his career averages include 23.5 points per game, 5.7 assists per game, and 4 rebounds per game. He is an eight-time all-star, and one of the league’s most exciting players to watch.
