Kyrie Irving is one of the best PGs in the league today. His ability to dribble past multiple defenders for an easy lay-up create space and shoot are always discussed. Irving was the first overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft when he got selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kyrie is a 5-time NBA All-Star and showed signs of greatness early in his rookie season as he won the Rookie of the Year award in 2012. A true PG who has the ability to involve teammates, he is also known as a prolific shooter who will always be remembered for his 3-pointer over Steph Curry in the 2016 NBA Finals in the closing seconds to give the Cavaliers the lead. Kyrie played Robin to LeBron's Batman. They both had unbelievable success together as they reached NBA Finals three consecutive times and won the title once in 2016.
