Kyrie Irving. Uncle Drew. Ankletaker. Kai.
The man of many names, deepest bags, unmatched layup packages.
Arguably the best handles in the history of the game. Arguably the most skilled player to ever touch a basketball.
But throughout his career, Kyrie's been criticized, scrutinized and hated for off court business that is nobody's but his own.
Amid all the drama, fans forgot just how good of a basketball player Kyrie is when playing freely, and more importantly, playing happy.
Despite his not-so-happy endings with the Cavs, Celtics and Nets, the Mavs took a chance on him, and helped him become the best version of himself.
As a Mav, Kyrie has been more efficient than ever before in his 13-year NBA career:
🔸Highest career FG%
🔸Highest career 3P%
🔸Highest career FT%
The doubters and the haters might've forgotten just how good Kyrie is, but the Mavs didn't.
They believed in Kyrie, and he's rewarding them for it.
Mavs Kyrie is a happy Kyrie. Happy Kyrie is the best version of Kyrie.
The best version of Kyrie is 7 wins away from ring #2 💍
