I'm most impressed with 1:36 - he shows speed, a willingness to go to the floor, quick thinking, and enough floor awareness to toss a Cousy-like pass to an open Gee.
Kyrie Irving is a phenomenal player especially for a rookie. He's a very efficient scorer. He has serious potential and great things in his future if he can get some other solid players around him.
Irving is such a beast for a rookie in the NBA: great character, excellent ball handling, plenty of young talent's potential, all in all i expect him to be no less than a perennial allstar for the years to come in his long success-bound career.
This young man is the real deal, he has a good head on his shoulders and is very respectful. He reminds me of a sharper Pete Maravich His dad played ball in Australia, and Kyrie's Godfather is Rod Strickland
Kyrie leads the league points per 48 minutes in clutch situations with a ridiculous 56.4 points (and .544 FG %). #2 in the league is 50.8 and then after that it's 43.6. Dude's clutch
I am a child of God the one true father and I believe when I go to sleep out creator will make me 5'3 with a 7.5 shoe size and make me gradually grow back to 6' throughout my growing years with a size 11 shoe GOD IS FOR REAL PRAISE THE ONE TRUE CREATOR PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU
kyrie irvings higlights remind me of john wall in his rookie season he was a dominate force on his team who had amazing scoring ability. And remember john walls block on iguodala, just like kyries highlight block. These two point guards are great scorers in the league
I remember his rookie year because they Cavs weren't any good he got no credit whatsoever nationally. . . All you heard about was Jeremy Lin and "Linsanity". . . . Now Lin is a journeyman back up and Kyrie a world champ, suck it ESPN and National Media
I am not trying to take anything away from how good he is, the guy is a beast and is probably going to tear it up even more this year, but the guy I was replying to said that he is the best finisher he has ever seen... I mean come on....
kyrie was a top 5 pg this year.. he had the most points per minute as a PG and one of the highest FG% for PGs. kyrie will be THE BEST point guard in a few years if he already isnt now.
agree 100%. it wouldve been nice to get beal, he wouldve complimented irving tremendously with his shooting, but waiters is more of an attack guy like wade, which he will help a lot. 1-2 yrs from, cavs will have the best backcourt in the nba. along with a 7-foot center. just need to draft a very good SF or PF, particularly SF
my bro played on the road runners with kyrie ive seen the kid play since he was a freshmen in highschool...yes maybe when they get more talent hell become more of a passing guard but even still hed be very balnced...they kid went 8-8 at the rising star challenge, and he also played at duke and on the best hs team in the country and where he was still their main offensive weapon on both team
Agreed. I see intelligence in Irving's eyes and not a whole lot in Wall's. You can just see it in the eyes of a lot of players that they have the mind for the game.
That WAS a dunk. To all those saying it wasn't.. if he did that over you in a game.. and you tried to say 'That wasn't a dunk" you'd get laughed out the building.. that was dope. I'm inspired :)
Centers usually struggle in the beginning with scoring. Howard had a good rookie season, averaging 13 and 9. I think right now Wall is a better playmaker and if his teammates could make shots, Wall would average a double double. Wall also has more experience under his belt. And with what I said with Kyrie is definately true. I base this on the crazy improvement he made progressively as the season went on. You can't argue that Kyrie is getting better and fast. Walls numbers will go up bc of nene.
As long as D.rose is in the league it wont happen but he will be close 2nd the more & more i watch him the more you realize this guy is special he definitely has the best handles out of anyone in the league for sure
Honestly with Ray Allen talking to the Heat I think that would be a huge pickup for them. Right now they should be virtually impossible to beat and adding another threepoint sharp shooter in Ray Allen would be great for them but horrific for other teams.
This year would have been so much more painful without Kyrie. Watched as many games as possible just because I knew he would do something cool. He had at least 2 of these moves every night.
I'm a Cavs fan and find this hilarious and can totally tell you're kidding. I myself don't understand why everyone gets offended so much by this kind of stuff on CZcams
in a few years,this guys bringing the cavs to the finals, just give him time, hes still maturing. it took iverson three years to bring his team to the playoffs, and rose 1 year,.
There's a little thing called Luxury Tax and the Lakers multi-billion dollar TV deal allows them to buy any player they want +Having the best GM of all time helps too.
I think the best comparisons for Kyrie are CP3 and Tony Parker. He can get to the rim so easily but not in the freakishly athletic manner of guys like Rose and Westbrook.
I'm not basing this on my opinion. I remember because I'm a pistons fan and went to see where brandon knight fell on the list, because people were telling me the pistons should have taken kemba. Second, most rookies would not be able to live up to the responsibility that Thompson had to go through. Charles Jenkins was given the same opportunity when Curry went down, but could not produce. I know Thompson is a lottery pick and Jenkins is a second rounder. To clarify, I think Kyrie deserved ROY.
If Irving does learn to play a more pure point guard rather than a scoring point guard then I agree, he could be the next Chris Paul. However, Wall's career is already starting to look a lot like Rose's, even the improvements to his jumper are coming along steadily. On top of that, he is a great play maker and is already able to set up his teammates. I have no doubt that Kyrie will become a phenomenal point guard, but I still think that Wall will be better in the end, unless he gets hit by a bus
cavs have him tristan thompson a future top 5 pick and another 1st rounder this year. Alonzo gee is an upincoming talent. You get 1 more solid player around him its a playoff team. I think they could be a future OKC with a superstar PG, maybe Kidd-Gillchrist and then Thompson.
I said that LeBron betrayed the cavs because he grew up in Akron. He left highschool and got drafted by the Cavs. He said he would never leave Cleveland until he won a championship. He got close but when it got tough he gave up. When he became a free agent he had the choice to go back to Cleveland but chose not to. That isn't the main reason why Cav fans dislike him though. He made a one hour tv special on where he would be going the next season. He chose the Heat and embarresed the Cavs on tv.
lets try to not put so much pressure on this kid because at the end of the day if the next few drafts are done the right way like the cavs hope to do em it wont be his team it will be the city of clevelands team and the players who play for it... they've said it before when this project is done it will not be about being built around 1 guy but i do agree whether they talk about it or not this guy has immense talent pretty good time to be a cleveland fan if u ask me pretty bright future ahead
You can really tell that his godfather is Rod Strickland. Those two are the exact same size and he plays just like Rod Strickland. Rod was teaching Kyrie how to play basketball since he was a baby.
The Cavs are on the rise and will be a playoff contender next year. This year they have another bumpy season ahead of them. Do you really think the Mavs will win anything in the remainder of the Nowitzki era? They won't get passed the second round in the next 3 years with the Lakers, Thunder, and Spurs in the west. The bottom line is the Cavs have a much brighter future as it looks right now.
i didnt realize he had so many nice plays this season, will definitely keep an eye on him more next season.
XD
Been quiet some time
he turned out pretty decent huh
@@Mario-su1jz Aged well
Well
the moment lebron decided to join cleveland
Watch 2014 All star game THAT was that moment haha
Kyrie had a terrific season, it was so enjoyable watching him play this year. He's gonna be a superstar!
He sure did
@@chsrgNNever been a top 10 player. Solid, fs, but nothing more than an all star or bare minimum all nba
Wow that year ended really quick
Easily one of the best PGS in the league. Hands down.
Congrats Kyrie now you're a champion
I'm most impressed with 1:36 - he shows speed, a willingness to go to the floor, quick thinking, and enough floor awareness to toss a Cousy-like pass to an open Gee.
Doesnt get closer to Iverson than this.
BladeRunner990 u b. C
Irving has better all around handles and finisher, but Iverson has the best crossover plus he drop a bum team the finals 🏀🏃♂️
Kyrie Irving is a phenomenal player especially for a rookie. He's a very efficient scorer. He has serious potential and great things in his future if he can get some other solid players around him.

KYRIE IRVING IS A BEAST! DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE NBA PLAYER! WOW!!!
Is he still ?😂
It's amazing how someone this young already has these amazing plays
"Hey NBA 2K......get this dude his own lay-up package.!!"
This man is a wizard. Just watched his highlights in practice against the USA Olympic team. Good God he can ball!
Man I hope injuries don't slow this kid down, he has such a promising future!
the fact that he was/is capable of passing lebron and getting to the hoop is amazing
Not only did he live up to the hype, but he surpassed it! He was phenomenal in clutch situations too!
He sure did
This young man is the real deal, he has a good head on his shoulders and is very respectful. He reminds me of a sharper Pete Maravich
His dad played ball in Australia, and Kyrie's Godfather is Rod Strickland
Rookie of the year.
0:20 the move was nice...then i saw the score
2:13 Ice in my veins origin???
Kyrie leads the league points per 48 minutes in clutch situations with a ridiculous 56.4 points (and .544 FG %). #2 in the league is 50.8 and then after that it's 43.6. Dude's clutch
I am a child of God the one true father and I believe when I go to sleep out creator will make me 5'3 with a 7.5 shoe size and make me gradually grow back to 6' throughout my growing years with a size 11 shoe GOD IS FOR REAL PRAISE THE ONE TRUE CREATOR PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU
Wtf are you talking about lmao
ok ok i get it you're praying to God but should it be on a comment section Lmao
Irving is pretty good, unreal for his first year glad Cleveland got him.
Yeah buddy"! youtube "Platinum Pepper On Me" see official Kyrie Irving shout out 2013!!!
kyrie irvings higlights remind me of john wall in his rookie season he was a dominate force on his team who had amazing scoring ability. And remember john walls block on iguodala, just like kyries highlight block. These two point guards are great scorers in the league

Savage_Gaming c'mon man Lin was great back then but he had ass coaches
Welp this didnt age well lins a champ too lmao
I am not trying to take anything away from how good he is, the guy is a beast and is probably going to tear it up even more this year, but the guy I was replying to said that he is the best finisher he has ever seen... I mean come on....
I’m from the future and I’m hear to tell you kyrie wins a championship and leaves the cavs for the Celtics abandoning lebron
And I’m also from the future of their future which is my past to tell u kyrie goes to the Nets with Kevin Durant and has been on there for a while
He abandoned me too.
I'm from the future too, kirie is nuts
I too am from the future I I must inform you all that Kyrie is now on a team with Kevin Durant and James Harden.
Also from the future he left the nets for the mavs and is currently playing with luka doncic.
love these highlights. Watch them all the time, but ill tell you one thing, His second season highlights are going to kill these highlights.
Man! youtube "Platinum Pepper On Me" see official shout out to Kyrie Irving 2013!!! hot hot hot!!!
2014 Lakers Lineup
PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Kobe Bryant (Final Year, Vet's minimum)
SF: Lebron James
PF: Pau Gasol
C: Dwight Howard
youtube "Platinum Pepper On Me" see shout out to Kyrie Irving 2013!!!
not only that, but also watching Jason Kidd. thats four great point gaurds in one.
He uses those spins really well
Kyrie will do work against any guard out there, top 5 PG within the next year.
kyrie was a top 5 pg this year.. he had the most points per minute as a PG and one of the highest FG% for PGs. kyrie will be THE BEST point guard in a few years if he already isnt now.
0:50 Derrick Williams thinking to himself "damn and I really thought I was better than him" lol
agree 100%. it wouldve been nice to get beal, he wouldve complimented irving tremendously with his shooting, but waiters is more of an attack guy like wade, which he will help a lot. 1-2 yrs from, cavs will have the best backcourt in the nba. along with a 7-foot center. just need to draft a very good SF or PF, particularly SF
Favorite player of all time, this kids gonna be big.
my bro played on the road runners with kyrie ive seen the kid play since he was a freshmen in highschool...yes maybe when they get more talent hell become more of a passing guard but even still hed be very balnced...they kid went 8-8 at the rising star challenge, and he also played at duke and on the best hs team in the country and where he was still their main offensive weapon on both team
As he matures, he's going to get better and man will that be scary.
Agreed. I see intelligence in Irving's eyes and not a whole lot in Wall's. You can just see it in the eyes of a lot of players that they have the mind for the game.
That WAS a dunk. To all those saying it wasn't.. if he did that over you in a game.. and you tried to say 'That wasn't a dunk" you'd get laughed out the building.. that was dope. I'm inspired :)

He is a beast im glad to see him doin his thing
As long as D.rose is in the league it wont happen but he will be close 2nd the more & more i watch him the more you realize this guy is special he definitely has the best handles out of anyone in the league for sure
dude in 2 years this boy is the best PG in the league, already top 5 to me, just look at his game dude...
@1:26, al jefferson gives him a pat on the arse. appreciates the work the rookie does, go kyrie :)
LOL!!! #6 objects are closer than they appear!!! I laughed at that one...very clever . Bravo.
He is going to be amazing!!!
Gotta dig Big Al... gives Kyrie love after making the circus shot.
Honestly with Ray Allen talking to the Heat I think that would be a huge pickup for them. Right now they should be virtually impossible to beat and adding another threepoint sharp shooter in Ray Allen would be great for them but horrific for other teams.
This year would have been so much more painful without Kyrie. Watched as many games as possible just because I knew he would do something cool. He had at least 2 of these moves every night.
He´s got the best moves of the NBA
WOW 2 game winners in his rookie season. Amazing
Future of the NBA. I can predict many awards and championships from this guy.
man you are both original AND hilarious
He is going to be a legend!
Liked it after the first 2 highlights
I'm a Cavs fan and find this hilarious and can totally tell you're kidding. I myself don't understand why everyone gets offended so much by this kind of stuff on CZcams
Ha! I love how in #7 he took it past Lebron. He was secretly saying "I took your place biatch"
2014 -- Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiter, Lebron James, Tristan Thompson, Tyler Zeller -- Anderson Varejao off the bench.
in a few years,this guys bringing the cavs to the finals, just give him time, hes still maturing. it took iverson three years to bring his team to the playoffs, and rose 1 year,.
Dang the way he uses that spin is amazing.
Yes I absolutely agree with you
man I just love that spin move of his
Incredible
Kyrie's gonna bring his talents to South Beach in 7 years :)
There's a little thing called Luxury Tax and the Lakers multi-billion dollar TV deal allows them to buy any player they want +Having the best GM of all time helps too.
Good times
a true pg in the making.......he going to be a superstar for years.
The one in Boston was a classic!
man the Cavs sure as hell look nice in their wine/burgundy and yellow look.
irvings got some sick spin moves
clutch in his rookie season. he is gonna be great
He's so pleasant to watch
I think the best comparisons for Kyrie are CP3 and Tony Parker. He can get to the rim so easily but not in the freakishly athletic manner of guys like Rose and Westbrook.
This kid is AMAZING!
He is going to be SO good.
I'm not basing this on my opinion. I remember because I'm a pistons fan and went to see where brandon knight fell on the list, because people were telling me the pistons should have taken kemba.

@ddsq2 there's still a possibility for Bynum to come if he don't resign his top 3 teams to join is Dallas,Houston and Cleveland.
I was hoping for Bynum to get to go to Cleveland for a possible combination between him and Kyrie but oh well at least he's in Philly
#1 kinda week considering #2 and #3, but overall amazing Top 10. He's gonna be a true superstar in a couple of years top.
If Irving does learn to play a more pure point guard rather than a scoring point guard then I agree, he could be the next Chris Paul.

I have no doubt that Kyrie will become a phenomenal point guard, but I still think that Wall will be better in the end, unless he gets hit by a bus
He's the next Larry Bird. Mark my words, he's going places. His name will be remembered alongside Jordan, Johnson, and Bird.
He's got some great handles.
cavs have him tristan thompson a future top 5 pick and another 1st rounder this year. Alonzo gee is an upincoming talent. You get 1 more solid player around him its a playoff team. I think they could be a future OKC with a superstar PG, maybe Kidd-Gillchrist and then Thompson.
Man, I love the Cavs' commentator.
Thank you for making my point
Incredible scorer

Cleveland, you're in good hands. If Dan Gilbert and company would put some solid players around him, there's no telling how good Cavs can be.
nice fast spin at the end
Hes so fun to watch how can you not want to watch the Cavaliers.
You can really tell that his godfather is Rod Strickland. Those two are the exact same size and he plays just like Rod Strickland. Rod was teaching Kyrie how to play basketball since he was a baby.
The Cavs are on the rise and will be a playoff contender next year. This year they have another bumpy season ahead of them. Do you really think the Mavs will win anything in the remainder of the Nowitzki era? They won't get passed the second round in the next 3 years with the Lakers, Thunder, and Spurs in the west. The bottom line is the Cavs have a much brighter future as it looks right now.
And he was doing all this at 19 years old
