One of the best ball handlers, Kyrie Irving, is set to enter the new season with a bang. Irving led the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2015, but the Warriors won the championship. In 2016, he hit a game-winning clutch in Game 7 of the Finals to lead the Cavaliers to victory. Even with the Boston and the Nets, he averaged more than 20 points per game throughout the seasons. After joining the Mavs, he averaged 27.1 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game in his first season.?
After maintaining this level of consistency, Kyrie has talked about finding his inner peace, which is indeed a barrier that he has crossed. He himself pronounces, ?Who is going to stop you after you have cleared out the way??. On the business side, he is on the rise. After moving on with Nike, he has signed a lucrative deal with a Chinese company worth $32.9 billion. He is now on his first shoe tour, a thousand miles away from home.?
