Kyrie Irving ‘Christmas Day’ Dallas Mavericks 2024-2025 Game Worn Icon Edition Jersey | 39 Points

This home ‘Icon Edition’ jersey was worn in the 1st half by Kyrie Irving on Christmas Day when the Dallas Mavericks played the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Irving finished with 39 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block. The Mavericks lost to the Timberwolves, 105-99.

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 in half a century. 

Since 2017, Kyrie has played for the Boston Celtics, the Brooklyn Nets, and now the Dallas Mavericks. Kyrie seems to have found a home in the Dallas backcourt alongside Luka Dončić, creating a lethal scoring duo. Irving and Dončić led the Mavericks on a magical run to the 2024 NBA Finals, defeating the higher seeded Clippers, Thunder, and Timberwolves along the way. At the time of cataloging, his career averages include 23.6 points per game, 4 rebounds per game, and 5.6 assists per game. He is an 8-time All-Star and 3-time All-NBA selection.
