VIDEO: Irving puts on impressive dribbling display, finishes contested layup
There wasn't much Kyrie Irving didn't do in Thursday's thrilling victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' point guard hit a game-tying 3-pointer to force overtime, went off for a career-high 57 points and helped his team eke out a win to snap the Spurs' six-game winning streak.
He set a franchise single-game scoring record with his outburst and is the only player in the NBA with two 50-plus point games this season. A night as impressive as Irving's doesn't come without highlights.
Case in point:
Irving - still just 22 years old - has already compiled numerous accolades over his four-year career. He was the 2012 Rookie of the Year, is a three-time All-Star, winning MVP at the 2014 event, and is the reigning USA Male Basketball Athlete of the Year.
LeBron James isn't the only superstar in Cleveland.
