Kyrie Irving is the gift that keeps on giving.

The three-time All-Star point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers partnered with Foot Locker to donate 190 pairs of his Nike signature shoes - one for every point he scored in this year's NBA Finals - to the Boys & Girls of Cleveland on Saturday.

"This right here is the reason why I do it," Irving said. "It's being able to see you guys flourish and have anything you dream up."

The donation occurred the same day as Irving's Basketball ProCamp, which included photo ops, lectures, training, and gifts.

Over 600 campers from grades 1-12 converged at Independence High School to learn from Irving and a number of basketball coaches from the local area, according to Cleveland.com's Nathaniel Cline.

"The opportunity to be able to be here, be involved and help the kids have a good experience, was too good to pass up," said Sean O'Toole, president of the Greater Cleveland Basketball Coaches Association. "Kyrie has always been great with the kids and it's fun to watch. It's fun to be around that."

Irving hit a 3-pointer with 53 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors to help end Cleveland's 52-year title drought.
