Kyrie Irving is a legit master of the game. He reminded everyone tonight why he’s been such a treat to watch for so long. 24 points in 25 minutes with 5 3PM, Kai showcased the same precise footwork and body control that made him stand out before the ACL tear. 34 years old and he looks like he hasn’t missed a beat. The dribble moves and shot creation looked effortless. Coming back after missing all of last season, he could have needed time to regain feel. Instead he stepped on the floor and immediately looked sharp. The balance on his drives and the timing on his pull-ups were right where they left off. There is still something some special about the way he plays. The pauses, the sudden changes of direction, the soft finishes—they keep the eye locked on him. After everything he’s been through, seeing that version of Kyrie return is incredible to see. - @crssd for more basketball content! - espnnba/X - #nba #kyrie #handles #kyrieirving
