“I Thought He Laid It…”: LeBron James Goes Haywire Over Kyrie Irving’s Wizardry In Suns Match-Up

Kyrie Irving continues to impress his former teammate, LeBron James. The Dallas Mavericks took on the Phoenix Suns at home and produced a cracker of a game tonight. The Mavs required both their superstars, Luka Doncic and Irving, to step on the gas to win the game for them. And they did exactly that. While Luka took care of the orchestrating, Irving impressed everyone with his wizardry. Notably, a particular switch-hands lay-up left King James in shock.

He shared the video clip of the play on his Instagram story and expressed his awe as well. He wrote, “OMG!!!!! At first glance I thought he laid it with the left which would have still be tough but switching hands is OFD!!!!!!!”

In the first quarter, Irving ran up the lane against Suns’ Eric Gordon and in the attempt to fox him, Uncle Drew brought his magic in the air. Moreover, he produced similar plays throughout the game, but it was the one which stood for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.

While the Lakers were prepping for their clash against the Warriors, James had all the time to enjoy the mastery of his former teammate. It was possible because the 4x NBA Champion was ruled out of tonight’s game, owing to his left ankle peroneal tendinopathy.

He has been suffering from this issue for a long time this season. Hopefully, it doesn’t impact the Lakers in the crucial period. Nevertheless, James doesn’t miss a beat of the action, even sitting from the sidelines.

Moreover, this isn’t the first time when James lauded Irving for his magic near the rim. Let’s take a look at James’ rousing praise for the Mavs guard.

LeBron James called Irving, the best

Kyrie Irving and James teamed up for the Cleveland Cavaliers between 2014-17. Eventually, helping the franchise to win their first ring in 2016. Since then, the duo tried to team-up several times, but it never happened. However, James continued to admire Irving’s ball handling skills and expressed it publicly to his followers.

Last year, Akron Hammer again took to his social media to call Irving, the best ball handler of all time. He shared a post which called Uncle Drew as the best handler on his IG story and also wrote, “Ever,” with a flurry of exclamation marks.

31-year-old, who is currently with the Mavs have a lot of chances to have a chance at the ring again. Will the ‘best ball handler’ go on to win another ring? Let us know in the comments below.
